High performance, starch based excipients and encapsulants 

Superior solutions for the reliable delivery of active ingredients such as e.g. vitamins, carotenoids and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's).  

Ingredion’s vegetable-based excipients and encapsulants provide pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies with a reliable and consistent solution for faster, more efficient tableting and encapsulation operations including the stabilisation, protection and release of actives such as vitamins, carotenoids and other API's .

Our products are non-allergenic, non-animal and are derived from sustainable, renewable sources. They can be used in:

• Direct compression and wet granulation tableting, for coatings, as fillers, binders and disintegrants
• Filling of hard or soft capsules
• Encapsulation of carotenoids, oil soluble vitamins and nutraceutical oils
• Fortification options such as added fibre and gluten-free

Encapsulation of your pharmaceutical actives will deliver a range of benefits to your products and manufacturing operations:

• Improved product quality
  
• Improved shelf-life stability
• Improved release characteristics
• Unmatched ease of handling and dispersion in aqueous systems
• Reduced loss during processing storage
• Reduced cross-contamination resulting from lower dust formation
• Reducing cost-in-use through high active loading and productivity improvements
