Probiotic Tablet Coating

Objective:
The objective of the project was to identify coatings that enable the introduction of probiotic tablets into the gummy format.

Background:
Generally, probiotic tablets are not coated. Introducing an uncoated tablet inside a gummy represents a challenge as the probiotics would not survive the heat and humidity. The coating materials would create a barrier between the gummy part and the tablet part. The major industry technology areas to explore are:

  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Confectionary and Foods
  • Cosmetics.

What we did

Our research analyst focused were able to identify the coatings material with the following properties:

  • The coating should be organoleptically acceptable and should not leave any unwanted residues in the mouth after eating the gummy.
  • The coating material should be resistant to heat (70 to 90 Degrees C.) for a few minutes.
  • What are the supported packaging types, such as bottle, Packs, blister packs, can, and sachet?
  • The coating should prevent water to penetrate the tablet.
  • The coating should be at least food-grade.

Project Timeline:The study was executed and delivered in 5 weeks.
