Spray-Dried Microencapsulated Beta-Carotene Powder Delivers Superior Water Solubility and Stability

As the primary source of vitamin A, an essential nutrient for the human body, beta-carotene holds irreplaceable value in boosting immunity and promoting health- да. However, natural beta-carotene suffers from inherent limitations—poor stability, low water solubility, and low bioavailability—which have long constrained its application in foods and beverages. It not only degrades and inactivates easily under light, oxygen, and temperature fluctuations but also frequently causes uneven coloring, sedimentation, and floating, severely impacting product quality and nutritional efficacy.

To overcome this technical bottleneck, Зеленый источник (Green Spring) Technology focused on formulation innovation and successfully developed a water-dispersible dry powder of beta-carotene based on spray-dried microencapsulation technology. This product precisely encapsulates β-carotene within a protective matrix composed of gelatin and carbohydrates, supplemented with vitamin E and vitamin C as composite antioxidants. This forms structurally stable, fully encapsulated microcapsule particles that effectively shield against light, oxygen, heat, and other factors.

В настоящее времяnew-generation β-carotene powder offers significant technical advantages, delivering tangible value to downstream customers:

Exceptional Performance, Addressing Application Pain Points

This product exhibits outstanding cold-water solubility, rapidly dispersing in liquid systems to form stable, uniform solutions. It completely resolves issues like sedimentation, floating particles, and uneven coloring. The microencapsulation structure significantly enhances β-carotene's tolerance to environmental factors, maintaining ingredient stability during processing and storage while extending product shelf life. Simultaneously, microencapsulation markedly improves bioavailability, ensuring efficient absorption and utilization of nutrients by the human body.

Precision Empowerment for Diverse Applications

✦ Beverage Companies: Easily develop clear, transparent, and color-stable functional liquid beverages without sedimentation or separation concerns

✦ Health Supplement & Solid Food Manufacturers: Perfectly suited for tableting, hard capsules, and powder formulations, achieving uniform coloring and stable nutritional fortification

✦ Dairy & Bakery Companies: Maintains color stability within complex food systems while withstanding temperature fluctuations during processing

✦ Cosmetics Companies: Provides stable, high-efficiency natural antioxidants for sunscreen and anti-aging products

Through technological innovation, Green Spring Technology transforms β-carotene from a “difficult-to-handle” active ingredient into a stable, user-friendly premium raw material. This provides core support for product innovation across industries, jointly advancing the high-value application of natural ingredients in the health sector.

Green Spring Technology Launches Spray-Dried Microencapsulated β-Carotene Powder for Exceptional Water Solubility and Stability

Recently, Green Spring Technology officially released its high-quality water-dispersible β-carotene powder produced using spray-dried microencapsulation technology. Through a composite encapsulation system and precise process control, this product successfully addresses core challenges in traditional β-carotene applications—including poor stability, limited water dispersibility, and low bioavailability—delivering a superior, convenient natural pigment and nutritional fortifier for food, health supplements, beverages, and related industries.

Core Technology: Microencapsulation for Comprehensive Protection

Green Spring Technology employs a gelatin-based composite encapsulation material. Through spray-dried microencapsulation, high-purity β-carotene molecules are fully enclosed within a protective matrix composed of gelatin, carbohydrates, and a composite antioxidant system (Vitamin E and Vitamin C).

This microcapsule structure not only effectively shields β-carotene from degradation by light, oxygen, and heat—significantly enhancing product stability and shelf life—but also enables rapid, uniform dispersion in cold water to form stable microemulsions. This makes it perfectly suited for diverse applications including beverages, liquid foods, and solid health supplements.

Process Innovation: Energy-Efficient, Smart-Controlled Safe Production

In industrial production, Green Spring Technology achieves dual enhancements in atomization and drying efficiency by optimizing atomizer structures (e.g., multi-row circular atomization discs) and precisely controlling parameters like feed moisture and viscosity. This process boosts output while significantly reducing energy consumption per unit. Furthermore, by maintaining inlet air temperature below 150°C and implementing pre-treatment of the air, the drying tower operates safely and stably at lower temperatures. This effectively mitigates dust explosion risks, balancing energy efficiency with production safety.

Product Feature: High Bioavailability with Broad Application Prospects

Benefiting from the gentle spray drying process, the final product's β-carotene molecular structure closely resembles its natural form, enhancing human absorption and bioavailability. As a natural nutrient with antioxidant activity significantly superior to vitamin E, this product not only boosts immunity but is also approved for use in sunscreen and other cosmetics. It holds vast market potential across health foods, functional beverages, cosmetics, and animal feed sectors.

Green Spring Technology's newly launched water-dispersible β-carotene powder provides downstream customers with a reliable core ingredient for product innovation through its exceptional water solubility, stability, and bioavailability, empowering enterprises to seize opportunities in the health-conscious consumer market.

Continuous Technological Iteration, Co-Creating a New Future for Natural Ingredients

Spray-drying microencapsulation technology, a key direction for β-carotene formulation innovation, is advancing toward higher efficacy, superior quality, and enhanced applicability. Green Spring Technology believes future technological breakthroughs will focus on three key directions:

I. Enhanced Product Performance

Continuously optimizing encapsulation systems and drying processes to further increase active ingredient content in beta-carotene powder while maintaining its exceptional cold water dispersibility, stability, and bioavailability. This meets the development needs of premium nutritional supplements and functional foods.

II. Diversified Formulations

Developing specialized formulations tailored to different application scenarios. For instance, designing instant-dissolving products for beverage systems, developing high-flow encapsulated granules for solid foods, and providing ultrafine powders for cosmetics to precisely match diverse customer product requirements.

III. Intelligent and Energy-Efficient Processes

Through optimizing atomization systems, precise temperature control, and heat recovery technologies, we enhance product quality while further reducing production energy consumption. This achieves green manufacturing, delivering β-carotene solutions that combine cost competitiveness with outstanding performance.

Green Spring Technology will continue to deepen its expertise in microencapsulation technology, collaborating with industry partners to advance innovative applications of natural ingredients. We invite clients across sectors to explore partnerships and receive tailored raw material solutions.
