The Büchi encapsulator is an easy-to-use R&D scale micro-encapsulation system. Micro-encapsulation is used in the food industry to mask taste and off odours; increase shelf life; enhance flavour, texture and quality; and control the release of ingredients.
The encapsulator allows for preparation of both beads and capsules in a wide range of particle sizes (150 μm to 4 mm). There are eight nozzle sizes available, and the system is able to work with a wide range of sample volumes (≥5 mL). The system can operate with viscous solutions due to the temperature control of the nozzle (up to 80°C). The encapsulator includes an application booklet and database to enable rapid obtainment of production parameters. It is easy to optimise by means of visualisation of the production process and real-time control. The system is available from In Vitro Technologies.
