ONIC is developing a process to turn its cold-pressed oils into free-flowing powders: each oil droplet is enclosed in a natural, food-grade wall, protecting the oil and making it easy to use in dry formulations.
Technology under development – not yet commercially availableONIC's crude, unrefined oils – starting with black seed oil.
The oil is dispersed into microscopic droplets in a solution of natural wall materials.
The emulsion is atomised into hot air; water evaporates in seconds and the wall closes around the droplets.
A free-flowing powder with the oil protected inside.
The wall limits exposure to oxygen and light – the main goal for longer oil stability.
A powder blends easily into dry mixes, sachets and capsules.
The oil is held inside particles, simplifying packing, transport and storage.
A defined oil content lets manufacturers dose precisely.
The powder disperses in water and liquids, distributing the oil in the product.
Food-grade natural wall materials such as gum arabic and maltodextrin.
