Nutraceuticals Manufacturing Equipment

Convert solutions into solid fibers to facilitate solubility

In the nutraceutical industry, bioactive compounds that make the basis of most nutraceuticals typically have low aqueous solubility, leading to poor bioavailability. Electrospinning techniques can address this challenge.

The method and manufacturing process applies a high voltage the inclusion solution pumped through a needle. The electric field forces the droplet into a jet stretched to form a solid fiber. The ultrafine material can be woven into microcapsules that dissolve quickly.

Hemp is a core ingredient in nutraceuticals for livestock

Veterinary nutraceuticals form a vital component of integrative animal wellness. But not all ingredients used for human dietary supplements can be consumed by animals.

Hemp products are driving a trend in the veterinary supplements market, particularly livestock. Nutraceuticals manufacturing derived from low-THC cannabinoids are used in animal feed for their antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.

Nutraceuticals in a capsule-shaped nutshell

Nutraceuticals are health products that combine the benefits of food and pharmaceuticals. They can come in various forms, including capsules, tablets, powders, and beverages. Nutraceuticals manufacturing involves specialized equipment and processes to ensure high-quality products that meet regulatory requirements.

Companies can outsource manufacturing to contract manufacturers who offer private labeling, product development, and quality control services. Equipment such as capsule filling machines, tablet presses, powder mixers, mixing tanks, pasteurizers, and bottling machines are used. Quality control equipment tests the raw materials, in-process products, and finished products. Product development and proper storage and packaging are critical to maintain product quality, particularly for nutraceutical beverages.
