How Beadleting Technology Works:
Beadleting technology is a microencapsulation technique used in the nutraceutical, and food industries to protect, stabilize, and control the release of active ingredients. It involves converting liquid or powder ingredients into tiny, uniform spherical particles called beadlets. These beadlets are designed to enhance stability, mask taste or odor, and offer controlled or targeted release in the body.

1
The core material, such as vitamins, minerals, probiotics, or botanical extracts, is first processed into a suitable form. This is typically a fine powder or liquid.
2
Next comes encapsulation or coating, where the core is enclosed by protective materials like gelatin, starch, lipids, or polymers. These layers serve several important functional purposes.
3
Coatings may resist moisture, mask unpleasant odor or taste, protect from oxidation or gastric acid, and allow for delayed or sustained release depending on formulation needs.
4
Beadlet formation involves spray chilling, fluid bed coating, or extrusion-spheronization. These techniques produce spherical beadlets with smooth surfaces, customizable release, and good flow for blending or tableting.
