Controlled-release oil capsules for appetite control
Innovative oil-laden capsules designed for controlled release in the digestive system to reduce appetite by triggering the ileal brake. Compatible with standard food processing, these capsules present a ready-to-market solution for managing food intake.
Overview
IamFluidics presents a breakthrough in appetite control with the development of controlled-release oil capsules. These capsules are engineered to release free fatty acids in the ileum, triggering the ileal brake mechanism, which effectively reduces appetite. This innovation is grounded in successful pilot-scale production and compatibility with standard food processing techniques, marking a significant step towards market-ready solutions for appetite management.
Technical specifications
- Controlled-release mechanism: Utilizes enzymatic digestion to release fatty acids in the ileum, reducing appetite.
- Compatibility: Capsules are stable under common food processing conditions, including shear mixing and heat treatment.
- Production scale: Demonstrated pilot-scale production of ~50 kg batches.
Technology readiness level
This technology is at TRL 5, indicating that it has been validated in relevant environments and is moving towards commercial deployment. Further validation phases are planned to solidify its readiness for market entry.
