This product line is made via an extrusion / spheronization process. It is a pigmented semi-solid matrix that can contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic core materials. They are primarily composed of cellulose and lactose (mannitol can also be used in place of the lactose as a non-animal derived option). They are available in two sizes 700 microns avg. & 1500 microns avg. These are great for high speed filling lines or high shear processes that may rupture the traditional microcapsules.
