Functional Ingredients for Human Nutrition

Reliable, High-Performance Functional Ingredients for the Food Industry Innov’ia and its subsidiaries design, formulate, and produce tailor-made functional ingredients for food and human nutrition applications. Our solutions meet the most demanding standards in terms of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance, on certified production lines (FSSC 22000 and GMP, Halal, Kosher, and Organic upon request).

Our expertise is built on more than 30 years of experience in ingredient processing technologies: microencapsulation, coating, spray drying, granulation, and agglomeration. These processes ensure the stability, functionality, and bioavailability of the active ingredients integrated into your formulations.

Mastering the Performance of Your Ingredients Powder transformation offers many advantages for food and nutraceutical manufacturers:

• Stabilize sensitive ingredients against heat, oxidation, or humidity
• Functionalize actives to improve solubility, texture, or release profile
• Protect and release active compounds at the optimal moment in the final matrix

These performance attributes are essential in the development of functional foods, health nutrition products, or dietary supplements, where nutrient stability and bioavailability directly determine product value.
