ENCAP4HEALTH
Innovative sustainable encapsulation systems  for improving human health and well-being

Latest news



28.08.2024 All good unfortunately comes to an end. The project has finished with a multitude of scientific dissemination and publications on innovative materials, smart processing innovation and functionality evaluation of the next generation microencapsulation systems. Thanks to all partners, beneficíaries and people who dedicate so much of their time and scientific expertise to the success of the project. We look forweard to continue the journey in this great network. In case of queries contact us through the web. 

09.05.2024 Back again with a webinar. Don't miss our latest research in "In vitro food digestion models and their application for pectin- and protein-based microcapsules. Six speakers from the project will cover multiple aspects of this fascinating research area on May 23rd at 3pm. Join at Youtube (Bioencapsulation Research Group) or zoom.  

12.04.2024 Members of ENCAP4HEALTH participated in the 8th International Conference on Food Digestion in Porto. After four years, all our joined efforts focused on the innovation of finding innovative materials, new processes, or new tailored encapsulation systems were ready to be evaluated as released systems during in vitro digestion. Thanks to  Rubilar Mónica, María Gloria Mora Sáenz and Eduardo Morales Antonio (UFRO), Katarina Kolomiyets (Symrise), Marina Eichhorn (TU Berlin) and Sara Pérez Vila, André Brodkorb (TEAGASC), the head responsible for supervising all in vitro tests conducted by ENCAP4HEALTH (and they were a lot...) for their great contribution.


15.01.2024 ENCAP4HEALTH is organising another webinar with focus on the application of membrane emulsification for encapsulation. Join on youtube (Bioencapsulation Research Group)  on January 29th at 2pm to learn about the latest findings from the project presented by Daniel Miramontes (Loughborough University) and Sandra Heinert (Symrise AG). 

13.10.23 Intersectoral dissemination goes overseas. ENCAP4HEALTH members presented various aspects of their research at the 35th Microencapsulation Industrial Convention in Chicago. Thanks to the Bioencapslation Research Group and the Poncelet familiy for organising a perfect meeting.

09.06.23 Encap4Health had a strong attendance and multiple interactions with interested colleagues from academia and food industry during the 21st Gums and Stabilizers for the Food Industry conference in Thessaloniki. A great experience for our early stage researchers and a good way to promote networking. 


30.05.23 Another network event to keep with career development and training of consortium members: Encap4health has organized a hybrid webinar on "Innovation: commercialisation of encapsulation research". Thanks to M. Walsh and S. Sheadon from Teagasc (Ireland) and E. Curtin from University College Cork. Thanks also to all A. Mihelakis from Symrise AG and A. Fitzsimonis from Anabio Ltd. 

20.01.23 The Encap4health consortium has held two workshops in Buenos Aires. The first dealt with "Engineering, scale-up and economics of microencapsulation". Great input from James Oxley from Southwestern Research Institute in San Antonio (Texas), Denis Poncelet from EncapProcess and Sinead Bleiel from Anabio Ltd. Second one was on "Form and function of microcapsules" given by Prof. Pinho from University Sao Paolo and André Brodkorb from Teagasc in Ireland.


20.01.22 Next webinar is held by Jenny Weißbrodt from Symrise AG on "Microcapsule characterisation". Register through the website of the Bioencapsulation Research Group to join. 

15.11.21 Webinar season starts again and we are happy to announce two new webinars on "Microencapsulation using 3D-printing" on November 18th and "Microencapsulation and granulometry" on January 18th 2022. Check out the full details and register here

03.05.21 It is already the fifth webinar in the series of ENCAP4HEALTH with BRG. This time it is on "Innovative particle/capsule engineering using membrane emulsification" held by Dr. Marijana Dragosavac  from Loughborough University. Do not miss it on May 12th and register here.

02.03.21 ENCAP4HEALTH and Bioencapsulation Research Group continue their joint webinar with "Microencapsulation in Food" given by Maria Victoria Defain and Ramiro Andres Itturalde from the Instituto Nacional de Tecnolgia Industrial from Argentina. It will be held on March 18th, 3 pm CET. To register click here.

27.01.21 We are pleased to announce the forthcoming webinars organised with the Bioencapsulation Research Group on "Encapsulation by spray-drying" held by Jenny Weißbrodt from Symrise AG on February 11th at 3 p.m (CET) and "Interfacial phenomena and microcapsule stability" given by Stephan Drusch from TU Berlin on February 25th at 3 p.m. (CET). To register for the webinars visit the website of the Bioencapsulation Research Group.  

27.11.20 Do not miss the second joint webinar of ENCAP4HEALTH and the Bioencapsulation Research Group on December 17th. Prof. Paul de Vos and Shuxian Hu from University Medical Center Groningen will introduce you to "Microencapsulation in Biomedicine". To register for the webinar click here.

11.11.20 ENCAP4HEALTH is organising a series of webinars in collaboration with the Bioencapsulation Research Group. The first webinar giving a general introduction on microencapsulation will take place on November 16th and will be held by James Oxley (Southwestern Research Institute, USA) and Denis Poncelet (EncapProcess), France. To register for the webinar click here

20.03.20 The project kick-off meeting will be held in the form of web meetings on April 1st.

17.01.20 We have been attending the Coordinators's day for the MSCA-RISE actions. Great experience to meet our project officer and good to know to have him for all future questions.
