Encapsulated Oil

Inactivated lipid-rich yeast biomass of R. toruloides

Premium multifunctional food ingredient derived from yeast fermentation.

A dry powder with high lipid content, following fibers, proteins, carotenoids and antioxidants – rich in oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acid.

  • Formulating advantages: Create cutting edge formulations with increased stability and ease of use
  • Sensory advantages: Excite the tastebuds of your clients with elevated flavours and mouthfeel
  • Nutritional benefits: Enabling healthier product formulations to position your brand as industry leader

 

High-performance food ingredients for modern formulators

ÄIO’s Encapsulated oil delivers what conventional inactivated yeast cannot – natural lipid enrichment, carotenoid-based antioxidant protection, and creamy sensory texture, all in a single dry 
powder format.

Whether you’re improving: lipid profile, nutritional composition, sensory perception, or simplifying TVP production, ÄIO performs without the environmental cost or supply chain anxiety.

Sensory Luxury Backed by
Science

Your customers can’t taste sustainability reports, but they’ll taste the difference:

  • Aromatic, with sweet, caramelly, 
woody, malty, or bready notes
  • Flexible flavours: woody, cocoa, 
umami, or bittersweet
  • Silky texture, fine powder
  • Creamy mouthfeel and juiciness in formulations
  • Masking of bitter notes and off-flavours

Formulating advantages: Encapsulated Oil

  • Natural carotenoid content not present in standard baker’s or torula yeast
  • Antioxidative capacity protects lipids in food formulations, extends shelf life
  • A creamy mouthfeel and juicy texture
  • Nutritionally backed – contains MUFAs, fibers, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and polyphenols

    Total replacement for cocoa powder
    Unique flavour profile
    No caffeine or theobromine

Application: Nutrition enhancement

Encapsulated Oil is a clean‑label, bioactive lipid ingredient that has high nutritional value :

  • Provides all essential amino acids
  • Contains β-glucans to support gut health
  • Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids
  • Contains naturally carotenoids

Application: Plant-based meat & dairy

 

 

 

Encapsulated Oil improves the taste and simplifies production process 

Masks the pea and oat bitter and astringent flavours
