TRICAP™ Microencapsulation Technology

A majority of the bioactive nutrients in sea buckthorn comes in oil forms, including Omega-3-6-7-9, beta-carotene, and vitamin E. And their applications are limited to mainly softgel or ready-to-use oil.

With our advanced microencapsulation technology, Puredia incorporates the functional lipids from sea buckthorn with selected carbohydrates. This leads to the creation of a series of water-dispersible nutritional lipids powder, namely Omega Powder.

This technology provides formulators with more flexibility in formulation design and allows more convenient and innovative applications. The additional microencapsulation shell also protects the easily-oxidized nutritional lipids from oxidation and allows controlled release of the nutrients, ensuring the best bioavailability.

Below is a picture of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of Puredia SeaBerry® (Sea Buckthorn) Omega Powder, which shows the complete encapsulation of tiny lipid droplets into powder form.
