Aptar CSP Technologies will display two new technology innovations for the probiotics market at VitaFoods Europe, Booth J60, May 9-11 in Geneva, Switzerland. The innovations focus on stability solutions for powder-based and oil-based probiotics.
Avanti technology addresses the probiotic mixology market, integrating Aptar CSP’s proprietary Activ-Polymer™ platform technology as an internal molded part inside a bottle cap containing dry powder probiotics. The cap separates the powder from the water until the user activates the cap with a push to disperse the powder into a traditional water bottle. The active material molded into the cap protects the probiotic powder against moisture and other environmental conditions that can impact potency and shelf life.
For oil-based probiotics, Aptar CSP will preview its Neo technology, a material science solution that is fully submerged in oil to create a customized microclimate to adsorb latent moisture. Delivered as a small sphere molded from an Activ-Polymer™ formulation, Neo offers increased moisture absorption capacity relative to the Activ-Film solution and can help mix the ingredients upon shaking. The solution ensures optimal probiotic stability without impacting user experience.
Also at VitaFoods Europe, Sr. Vice President of Business Development for Aptar CSP Technologies Billy Abrams will give a presentation titled “Optimizing Probiotic Formulations: Use of Active Packaging to Minimize Overages, Reduce Costs, and Improve Margins.” The presentation also will be available to pre-registered attendees on-demand on the Vitafoods event platform.
