Workflow example Formulation of nutrition
Workflow
Introduction
The microencapsulation of nutrition components is one of the key methods in food formulation. Especially flavors are encapsulated to avoid evaporation and thus ensuring the same taste over an extended period. Other compounds like milk fat in this example are encapsulated to protect them from degradation.
Description
  • Dispense water, start individualized heating and agitation per vessel
  • Dispense whey protein, while heating and agitation
  • Change temperature and agitation speed
  • Dispense carbohydrate syrup while heating and agitation
  • Change temperature and agitation speed
  • Dispense milk fat while heating and agitation
Benefits
  • Entirely automated encapsulation with high degree of freedom
  • Elaborated & individualized formulation per vessel including temperature and temperature gradients; mixing speed and mixing devices (stirrers, rotor/stator, dissolver disc...); rate, order and mode of addition of ingredients etc.
  • Integration of analytical techniques (i.e. particle size) allow fast screening of efficient encapsulation
  • Research on our solutions has proven different encapsulation forms within some 10 rpm mixing speed!
