The Science: How it Works

Innovating in the delivery of health ingredients with micro-encapsulation technology

anabio’s encapsulation technology

Patented Process

AnaBio uses a patented process to apply a protein based coating to protect probiotics from heat during processing and insulate them from  moisture preventing their growth during product storage.

Microscopic Image of Encapsulated Probiotics

  • Protect probiotics from heat during processing
  • Insulate them from moisture preventing their growth during product storage.

Delivering Health Benefits

When consumed, the protein based coat is broken down by the proteases naturally present in the intestine and the live probiotics are released to colonise the small intestine and deliver their health benefit. 

Innovate. Encapsulate. Evolve.

Flow Cytometry Output

Flow Cytometry Measurement of Encapsulated Probiotics

Flow cytometry (ISO 19344) provides a fast, accurate and reliable DNA based method for enumerating encapsulated probiotics

Timed Protein Breakdown

The speed of protein breakdown and bioactive release can be controlled by changing  the size and strength of the micro-particle and protein coating used.

Different Proteins

Different proteins also display different release profiles as the digestion kinetic of each protein is quite unique based on its amino acid composition.
