CelluCap™ Resveratrol—Resveratrol microcapsules, are a cellulose based polymer prepared and produced by the solvent removal method. The encapsulation of the Resveratrol within the microcapsule`s structure protects and hermetically isolates the Resveratrol from being exposed to the surrounding environment, and significantly reduces the overall degradation following thermal and UV stimulation. This reduces the risk of recrystallization, discoloration, and creates an extended shelf life for the Resveratrol. As the Resveratrol microcapsules are in powder form, they can be simply mixed into any formulation type at the final stage of filling, with no need of using solvents to dissolve the Resveratrol and no concern for recrystallization.
Another benefit of the Resveratrol microcapsules is that the manufacturing process is very easy and does not need force or heat, unlike other drug delivery systems. We have successfully optimized and scaled up the dendrimer-RSV formulation.
The microcapsules were designed with Release on Demand™ (RND™) technology to release the active ingredient following mechanical pressure. Upon application, while rubbing the formulation into skin, the polymeric shell collapses and the microcapsules begin to fracture, releasing the encapsulated active ingredient. Despite their breakdown, the microcapsules still retain a portion of the payload and the release of the active ingredient continues over time.
