Cross Flow Microfiltration is considered the gold standard approach to producing whey protein. 

Granulation is a process of forming single particles from multiple small and large particles, allowing them to be more easily compressible, become more soluble in liquid or to improve the flowability of a powder.

Microencapsulation is a process by which we apply a protective coating called a matrix around a small particle called the core or active. The matrix keeps an active ingredient locked in and stabilized until the release of the material is desired.

In spray drying for encapsulation, we change a liquid into a powdered form. The spray drying process creates a dispersion or emulsion of an ingredient within another ingredient and then dries this emulsion very quickly. We utilize various carriers in the spray drying process to suit the properties of your finished product, taking into consideration desired characteristics such as solubility, particle size, and special label claims.

Chelation (key-lay-shun) refers to the process during which minerals, such as calcium or selenium, are bound to an amino acid or peptide. The word chelated comes from the root word khele, which is Greek for “claw.” The mineral is bound to another substance, making it more readily absorbed by the body.
