About AnaBio

AnaBio Technologies is a specialist microencapsulation company based in Cork, Ireland focused on improving the functionality of ingredients for food, beverages, sports nutrition, medical and animal feed companies. Being a B2B company we collaborate with clients to design, develop, and produce ingredients that enable our customers to deliver innovative, scientifically robust, products with proven benefits to the consumer. Microencapsulation involves coating sensitive functional ingredients with a microscopic layer that masks unpleasant tastes, improves dispersion and bioavailability, and protects against a wide range of environmental conditions including heat, moisture, and oxygen. This allows food and beverage manufacturers to ensure their products deliver real health benefits to consumers, taste great, and enables them to create new to the world consumer products.

We collaborate with our clients through contract research, commercial supply of microencapsulated ingredients, and licencing of our patented technology. Research, Development, and Innovation is the core of our business, focussing on delivering customer research projects, generating application and clinical data to support our clients and products, and developing new encapsulation processes which our engineering team scale up to commercial production.

Take a look at how you can benefit from what we do.

Here at AnaBio, we are proud to have an incredibly innovative and hardworking team who are dedicated to delivering our customers with the best products possible. We offer B2B solutions and have successfully encapsulated a wide range of functional ingredients including probiotics, vitamins, caffeine, creatine, leucine, vegetable proteins, oils, and antioxidants. These encapsulated ingredients are incorporated into beverages, supplements, sports nutrition gels and powders, gummies, infant formula, bread, and a wide variety of snacks. Our key focus is probiotics. When added to food and beverages, large numbers of probiotics frequently die due to harsh environmental conditions, giving the consumer none of the desired health benefits. 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. We use only natural ingredients in the micro encapsulation process to ensure clean labelling and offer encapsulated versions of well researched safe GRAS approved probiotic strains supported by peer-reviewed published clinical studies. Our microencapsulation technology 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.
