AnaBio Technologies

AnaBio's key focus is the micro-encapsulation of probiotics. Micro-encapsulation involves coating sensitive functional ingredients with a microscopic layer that protects against a wide range of environmental conditions. When added to food and beverages, huge numbers of probiotics frequently die due to harsh environmental conditions, giving the consumer none of the health benefits associated. AnaBio's patented micro-encapsulation technology protects probiotics against challenges such as heat during processing, oxygen and moisture during storage, and acid conditions in the stomach. This allows food and beverage manufacturers to ensure their probiotic products deliver real health benefits to consumers, reduce overdosing, and create new to the world UHT treated beverages with live probiotics. AnaBio also micro encapsulates other functional ingredients and works with clients through contract research, commercial ingredient supply, and technology licencing.
