Particle Size Enhancement
Optimise the Performance of Your Product 

Achieve Peak Effectiveness with Particle Size Enhancement 

Optimise product performance with our range of particle size enhancement services, including micronisation, agglomeration, spray drying, or microencapsulation. From improving shelf-life and blend homogeneity to enhancing flavour and increasing bioavailability, our ingredients will transform your product to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Benefits of Particle Size Enhancement

Our particle size enhancement techniques may help to deliver the following benefits:

  • Improved stability and shelf life

  • Improved homogeneity of a blend

  • Prevent cross-contamination

  • Enhanced solubility and flow / dispersibility

  • Mask off-notes in taste and smell

  • Prolonged shelf life

  • Reduction of overages

  • Enhanced mouthfeel

  • Targeted and time-delayed release of active ingredients

  • May increase bioavailability

Micronisation

Yield finer particle sizes and uniform mesh size for better sensory characteristics and smoother blends. Through micronisation, we improve the solubility and blending properties of powders for sports and lifestyle nutrition blends, flour fortification, infant formulas, and more. 

 

Benefits of micronisation include:

 

  • Maximum solubility/suspension

  • Better water dispersion

  • Increased surface area

  • Improved bioavailability

  • Time-release engineering 

Microencapsulation

Improve  challenging sensory attributes and increase the bioavailability of your product with microencapsulation.  This process is also beneficial when targeting a time-release mechanism in the gut.

  • Flavour and odour masking

  • Protection of bioactive ingredients from heat, stomach acids, and incompatibility with other ingredients

  • Improved stability and shelf life

  • Targeted and time-delayed release of active ingredients

  • Stable separation of incompatible substances

  • Enhanced solubility and flow

  • Bioactive ingredients, such as caffeine and creatine

  • Oils (fish oil, sesame oil)

  • Flavour and essential oils (vanilla, orange, lemon, peppermint)

  • Vitamins

  • Amino acids

  • Enzymes

  • Probiotics

  • Microorganisms

  • Omega-3 fatty acids 

Spray Drying

Through spray drying, our experts turn solutions into dry powders quickly and easily.  This process can be used for oil-soluble vitamins such as A, D, and E.

 

Benefits of spray drying include:

 

  • Easy incorporation of liquid ingredients into dry premixes

  • Easier handling and scaling in production

  • Free flowing powders

  • Increased shelf-life stability

Agglomeration

Enhance the application qualities of your powder and increase solubility and dispersibility. By applying agglomeration, our experts produce larger particles and a more free-flowing powder. 

 

Benefits of agglomeration include:

 

  • Improved bulk density of powders for tablet production

  • Greater solubility/dispersibility

  • Flexible particle size

  • Enhanced material flow

  • Improved sensory experience

  • Reduced caking

  • Elimination of dust

  • Case Study
