What is Nanoencapsulation? Discover the technological process of Sphera Encapsulation.

Nanoencapsulation is one of the most advanced frontiers among the encapsulation technologies developed by Sphera Encapsulation, a company based in Verona that specializes in delivering biofunctional active ingredients for the nutraceutical, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors. It is a technique that enables the encapsulation of active molecules in nanometric-sized capsules, thereby improving their efficacy, stability, and bioavailability.

A tailor-made technology for innovative applications

Nanoencapsulation enables the controlled release of active ingredients in both time and space, protecting them from external agents (such as light, oxygen, or humidity) and promoting their absorption by the body. This approach is beneficial in the nutraceutical and food sectors, where it is essential to ensure the integrity of sensitive compounds and maximize their health benefits.

Thanks to the expertise developed over the years, Sphera Encapsulation can design customized nanostructured systems suitable for various types of active ingredients (vitamins, polyphenols, probiotics, and essential oils) and optimized for each specific industrial application.

The advantages of nanoencapsulation

The benefits offered by this technology are many:

  • improvement of bioavailability and absorption;
  • protection of active ingredients from degradation and oxidation;
  • controlled and targeted release over time;
  • reduction of the dosage required to obtain the same effect;
  • greater stability during storage and processing.

These advantages make nanoencapsulation an effective solution for developing clean-label products and functional formulations, which are increasingly requested by the market.

The Sphera approach: innovation, precision and sustainability

Sphera Encapsulation does not just provide a technology; it accompanies the customer throughout the entire development process, from selecting the most suitable technique to formulation and industrial validation. The whole process takes place in the Verona plant, where innovative systems are designed and manufactured in line with market needs.

Each project begins with a detailed analysis of the characteristics of the active ingredient to be encapsulated, followed by the selection of the most effective coating materials (e.g., polysaccharides, lipids, proteins) and the definition of optimal process parameters.

Encapsulation in Verona: technology and expertise at the service of innovation

With a multidisciplinary team and cutting-edge equipment, Sphera Encapsulation confirms itself as a point of reference for encapsulation technologies in Verona and abroad. The ability to integrate scientific research, customized formulation, and industrialization makes Sphera an ideal partner for companies wishing to develop innovative, stable, and effective products.
