SalSeal™
"Water sensitive microspheres that retain and protect ingredients to prolong shelf life. SalSeal™ can be incorporated into anhydrous products to provide controlled release of ingredients in response to body moisture."
SalSeal™ consists of water-, pH-, and enzyme-sensitive microspheres in the form of a free-flowing powder. Each microsphere has an average particle size beween 10 to 50 microns.
SalSeal™ attributes include:
- Improved stability of functional ingredients in anhydrous bases
- Prolonged product shelf life
- Minimize oxidation of the functional ingredients
- High retention of volatile ingredients
- Provide moisture-, pH, or enzyme-triggered release to turn system on or off
- Provides sustained-release concentration versus time profile by the modification of dissolution, swelling, and hydrolysis rates of the microspheres
- A high impact "burst" of sensory markers in response to moisture, thereby signaling that the product has been activated. The "burst" is achieved by formulating the ingredients that are encapsulated in SalSeal™, and the matrix materials. The interaction with water results in increasing their relative content in the headspace
