Encapsulation Unveiled: Exploring Techniques and Applications
Aimen Firdous*
Abstract
Encapsulation, the process of enclosing one substance within another, has garnered significant attention and importance in food processing industries. Encapsulation is a transformative process with profound implications in the realm of food processing. Encapsulation has redefined the preservation, enhancement of flavors and controlled release of sensitive and valuable components within food products. This technology has emerged as an anchor in maintaining the overall quality of food items, preventing oxidation and stability of omega-3 fatty acids, extending shelf life and precisely delivering flavors and nutrients to the consumer. By shielding sensitive elements like vitamins, minerals, flavors and bioactive compounds from external threats such as heat, moisture, oxygen and light, encapsulation ensures that these ingredients retain their efficacy and quality and also preserves their nutritional and sensory attributes. Furthermore, encapsulation enables the controlled and targeted release of these ingredients enhancing not only the taste and texture of products but also their nutritional benefits. The applications of encapsulation are myriad, ranging from fortifying foods with essential nutrients to concealing undesirable flavors, enhancing product stability and providing new frontiers in product development.
