NT2 Microencapsulation Platform
NT2 (Nutrient Transport Technology) is an innovative micro-encapsulation technology platform that address the challenges many functional food and beverage ingredients are facing: bad taste, low aqueous solubility induced low bioavailability, poor stability and lack of sustained or targeted release. The targeted difficult-to-deal-with bioactives include quercetin, curcumin, resveratrol, guarana, and ginseng.
Comparing to other microencapsulation techniques, NT2 has the following unique benefits:
1) Long lasting effectiveness: the NT2 formulation implements controlled and sustained release capabilities to deliver significant dosing of energy-promoting bioactives, such as caffeine, “stretched” along 4 – 6 hours
2) Targeted release: NT2 provides a targeted release of active ingredients in the digestive organ most suitable to absorb it - depending on the ingredient
3) No carbohydrates or other calorie-rich ingredients needed for NT2 microencapsulation
Product Highlight: Caffeine
CaffeineCSR™ is a micro-encapsulated caffeine ingredient.
With significant dosing levels (say, 500ppm), CaffeineCSR™ completely eliminates the bitter and unfavorable taste of caffeine. Range of sustained release profiles available to avoid rapid burst and elimination.
The ingredient is optimal for incorporation into bars, shakes, meal replacement products and mix-n-drink beverages.
Product Highlight: Turmeric/Curcumin
TurmericEBA™ is a micro-encapsulated ingredient containing standardized extract of the Curcuma Longa plant with 95% of curcuminoids.
As the natural bioavailability of curcumin is extremely low due to its low solubility in water (<1mg/L). TurmericEBA™ includes a proprietary bioavailability-enhancing formulation for curcumin, resulting in improved water-solubility and systemic absorption.
This formulation enables significantly lower dosing-levels of curcumin to deliver similar effects to raw curcumin consumption.
The ingredient is optimal for incorporation into bars, shakes, meal replacement products and mix-n-drinks.
Product Highlight: Quercetin
QuercetinEBA™ micro-encapsulates a standardized extract of the Sophora Japonica plant with 95% of quercetin
As the natural bioavailability of quercetin is extremely low (the bioavailability of quercetin administered to human beings in a capsule form was reported to be less than 1% https://doi.org/10.31989/ffhd.v5i12.221), QuercetinEBA™ includes a proprietary bioavailability-enhancing formulation for quercetin, that enhances both the water-solubility and the resulting systemic absorption of quercetin.
This formulation enables enhanced bioavailability with significantly lower dosage, comparing with raw quercetin consumption
The ingredient is optimal for incorporation into dietary supplements, bars, shakes, meal replacement products and mix-n-drinks.
