Adoption of Microencapsulation Technique Fuels the South & Central America Powdered Flavors Market
Microencapsulation involves encasing flavor material in a solid matrix known as a microcapsule, which releases the flavor when heated or exposed to water. Various methods are used in microencapsulation, including spray drying, coacervation, and polymerization. In the microencapsulation process, the oil/water mixture is homogenized in the presence of wall material, followed by controlled spray drying. Commonly used wall materials include vegetable gums, starches, dextrin, proteins, and cellulose esters. Microencapsulation provides a controlled release of flavor at the right place and at the desired time. It protects the active ingredients (flavors) from moisture, acid, heat, oxidation, and ingredient interaction. It provides easy handling of ingredients as they are dry and free-flowing, reducing overall transportation and handling costs. Microencapsulated flavors are highly shelf-stable, making them more desirable than other forms. Microencapsulation saves packaging requirements making the process more sustainable. Due to the aforementioned benefits of microencapsulation, many global flavor companies are adopting this technology. For instance, companies such as Firmenich SA, Cargill Incorporated, Givaudan, and Ingredion offer microencapsulated flavors for precise flavor delivery and to achieve a competitive advantage over other players operating in the market. Thus, various benefits of microencapsulation of flavors and increased adoption of the technique by powdered flavor manufacturers operating in the market are expected to offer profitable opportunities to the powdered flavors market in the coming years.
