Stability and Improved Dispersibility
Oil-soluble vitamins such as A and E, carotenoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids have special requirements: They are sensitive to light and oxygen, and poorly dispersible in water. GELITA® Pharmaceutical grade Gelatin is suitable for encapsulating vitamins, resulting in a free-flowing powder that can be easily and evenly dispersed in liquids, but also in gelatin hard capsules, sachets and effervescent tablets. The gelatin layers also protect the sensitive substances from light and oxygen. For microencapsulation, gelatin from pigskin and bovine split with a low Bloom value of 100-140g Bloom is typically used.



Microencapsulation with GELITA® Pharmaceutical Grade Gelatin
- Embedding of oil-based substances into gelatin generates a free-flowing powder
- Gelatin acts as a multifunctional agent
- Perfect matrix material with optimal flow properties – further processing opportunities such as direct
compression for tablets, or fill for hard capsules
