- 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.

Application: flavour boost
Encapsulated Oil enhances flavor, creaminess, and shelf life:
- Reduction of salt, enhance the umami flavour, balance the taste and texture
- Enhancement of taste and odor of savory sauces, broths and spice blends
- Provides lipids and carotenoids, that enhance the creamy texture and increase the shelf-life due to the antioxidative activity
- 2-in-1 solution for ready-to-eat meals, replacing the spice blend and fat portions
Application: Confectionery
Encapsulated Oil serves as a climate-proof substitute or complement to cocoa powder:
- Serves bitter and cocoa like notes
- 10-25% Inclusion rate:
No impact on chocolate taste - 50-75% Inclusion rate:
Reduces sweetness
Adds floral and acidic notes - 100% Inclusion rate:
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
