At Vitafoods Europe, Lubrizol will unveil Lipofer microcapsules, which combine multiple technologies to overcome the off-taste, reactivity, interaction with other ingredients, and color change characteristic of iron supplements.
 
The microcapsules also enhance iron absorption with low gastric irritation, while providing a pleasant taste that encourages consumers to stick to recommended daily intakes. Lipofer caters to increased consumer demand for science-based products that meet sensory needs.
 
Lubrizol will also present Carbopol Polymers for nutraceuticals. The new EU food-grade approval enables nutraceutical manufacturers the ability to differentiate their portfolio and make distinct new product claims. The polymers provide a means of making tablets smaller and easier to digest. The polymers can provide stable, controlled release, and the suspension of active ingredients, ensuring consistent delivery of nutraceuticals.
