Food Encapsulation Market Analysis

The Food Encapsulation Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period.

  • Encapsulation is an important tool for improving the delivery of living cells and bioactive molecules into foods. Food-grade, biodegradable materials must be used for designing the protective shell of encapsulates and they must be efficient in forming a barrier between the internal phase and its surroundings.
  • Microencapsulation of essential oil, like Omega 3 with sugar beet pectin is an alternative innovative encapsulating agent than the traditional one. Maintenance of the stability of encapsulated food, especially during packaging and processing, is a major hindrance for food encapsulation industries.
