We specialize in the development of functional and nutritionally enhanced beverages. Our team focuses on innovative formulations using natural ingredients, plant-based extracts, and bioactive compounds. We aim to optimize flavor profiles, stability, and nutritional value while maintaining clean label standards. Our advanced particle engineering techniques enable us to improve solubility, bioavailability, and sensory attributes, resulting in superior consumer experiences.
2. Food Supplements
Our expertise in food supplements is centered around creating high-performance nutraceuticals tailored to meet specific health needs. We develop tailored formulations containing vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino acids, and probiotics. Using encapsulation technologies, we enhance the stability and bioavailability of sensitive ingredients, ensuring maximum efficacy.
3. Functional Food
We are committed to the innovation of functional foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. By leveraging our deep understanding of food matrices and ingredient interactions, we design products that target immunity, digestive health, cognitive function, and overall well-being. Our R&D team explores emerging trends, including gut microbiome modulation, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and adaptogens, to develop next-generation functional foods.
4. Food Ingredients
Our research in food ingredients focuses on delivering high-quality, functional additives that enhance texture, stability, and sensory properties. We specialize in natural emulsifiers, stabilizers, and flavor enhancers that meet the growing demand for clean label solutions. Our advanced particle engineering capabilities enable us to modify ingredient properties, such as particle size and morphology, to optimize performance in end products.
5. Particle Engineering
Particle engineering is at the core of our R&D efforts, enabling us to tailor the physical and functional properties of ingredients. Our expertise includes encapsulation, spray drying, agglomeration, granulation, and lyophilization. By controlling particle size distribution, shape, and surface characteristics, we enhance solubility, dispersibility, and flowability. These techniques are particularly crucial for optimizing the stability and bioavailability of active compounds in food supplements and functional foods.
