SowTrap – Technology & Matrix

Advanced Encapsulation Technologies

Our multi-technology platform enables precise engineering of microstructures tailored to specific nutrient profiles and delivery requirements.

Spray Drying
(Micro / Nano Encapsulation)

    High encapsulation efficiency of 70% to 95%
    Scalable and cost-effective process Ideal for vitamins, botanicals, probiotics, and bioactive ingredients. Produces free-flowing, water-dispersible powders Compatible with all major matrix types

Freeze Drying
(Lyophilization)

    Excellent retention of heat-sensitive bioactive compounds. Preserves volatile and heat-sensitive actives Produces high-quality powders with minimal thermal degradation. Ideal for probiotics, enzymes, and delicate botanicals Excellent long-term stability profile

Supercritical Fluid-assisted Encapsulation

    Green technology using supercritical CO₂ Produce fine particles with narrow size distributions under optimized conditions. Low-temperature processing — ideal for heat-sensitive compounds Produces high-purity extracts with minimal solvent residues Used across food, pharma, and cosmetic applications Suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic ingredients

Smart Matrix Engineering

We design customised coating matrices matched to the physicochemical properties of each bioactive and the release requirements of the application.

Matrix

Protein Matrices
