Food encapsulation is a technique used to enclose or surround ingredients like flavors, colors, fragrances or active and functional compounds within miniature capsules or small hollow objects. It involves applying a thin coating or matrix to the ingredients using techniques like spray coating, fluidized bed, emulsion, extrusions, or spray chilling/cooling to create microcapsules or nano capsules. This process provides stability and protection to the ingredients against oxygen, moisture, heat, and other environmental factors during processing, storage, and shelf life of food products. Encapsulation helps control and modulation of release the of encapsulated compounds during the preparation or consumption of food. It enables the incorporation of volatile, light-sensitive, or high potency ingredients into foods that would otherwise deteriorate or lose functionality. Encapsulation is increasingly being used in various applications like bakery, confectionery, snacks, beverages, nutritional, supplements, etc.

Market Dynamics:

The food encapsulation market is driven by the growing demand for functional and fortified food products, advancements in microencapsulation techniques, rise in health awareness, and focus on digestive health. However, high R&D costs associated with encapsulation technology and stability issues with some encapsulated ingredients act as restraints. Growing demand for clean label and organic foods provide opportunities for the development of natural polymers for encapsulation. Rise of personalized nutrition based on an individual’s microbiome also present growth prospects. North America currently dominates the market due to the high demand for functional and nutraceutical foods in the region. Asia pacific is expected to show high growth over the forecast period.
