NUCAPS Nanotechnology

NUCAPS Nanotechnology is a Spanish biotechnology company that specializes in a proprietary protein-based microencapsulation technology. Founded in 2017, the company designs and produces functional ingredients by encapsulating bioactives and probiotics within microscopic, food-grade protein matrices. This technology acts as a biovector, protecting sensitive ingredients from degradation while enabling controlled release, targeted delivery, and significantly enhanced bioavailability—up to 30 times higher than conventional methods. By using natural proteins such as casein, zein, or soy, the company offers a sustainable, clean-label solution that is free from synthetic polymers, fats, or additives, and is industrially scalable for various production needs.

The company operates as a B2B partner for manufacturers across the food, beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Its solutions address critical industry challenges, such as improving the stability and shelf life of ingredients, masking unpleasant odors and flavors, and reducing production costs. By facilitating the oral delivery of nutrients and microorganisms, NUCAPS aims to create a tangible impact on human health. With a strong focus on R&D, the company has secured multiple international patents and is recognized for its innovation in functional ingredients, supporting global nutritional objectives through science-driven, scalable technology.
