Dry Powder Premixes: The Gold Standard in Micronutrient Fortification

The Efficiency of Dry Blending

Dry powder premixes represent the most established and versatile format for incorporating vitamins, minerals, and functional ingredients into finished products. Our meticulous dry blending process ensures every batch is homogeneous and compliant.

Key Manufacturing Benefits:

• Simplified Inventory: Consolidate multiple individual ingredients into a single, ready-to-use component.
• Reduced Labor: Minimize in-house weighing, handling, and quality checks, freeing up your operational staff.
• Guaranteed Consistency: Eliminates the risk of weighing errors often associated with micro-dosing high-potency nutrients like Vitamin B12 or Folic Acid.
• Extended Shelf Life: The low moisture content inherent in powder formats provides superior stability compared to liquid alternatives.

Technical Formulation Solutions

Formulating multi-component premixes involves complex chemical interactions, a challenge our expert formulators manage using advanced science.

Challenges We Solve in Dry Blends:

• Ingredient Incompatibilities: We strategically separate or encapsulate reactive nutrients (e.g., Vitamin C and certain minerals) to prevent degradation during storage.
• Uniformity & Segregation: Our blending parameters are customized to account for variations in ingredient density, particle size, and flow characteristics, ensuring a homogeneous blend throughout the production run.
• Taste Masking: Specialized carriers and particle sizing technology are used to neutralize off-tastes from metallic minerals or bitter amino acids without compromising the blend's stability.

Applications & Suitability

Dry powder premixes are the solution of choice across a vast range of products due to their ease of integration.

Ideal Applications:

• Food: Cereal, flour, bakery mixes, snack foods, infant formula, and therapeutic foods.
• Beverage: Ready-to-mix (RTM) drink powders, meal replacement shakes, and dry tea/coffee bases.
• Pharmaceutical: Fillers for hard-shell capsules, tablet compression, and sachet/stick pack supplements.

Quality and Compliance Standards

Every dry powder premix is manufactured under stringent global quality standards to ensure safety, efficacy, and compliance.

Quality Assurance Protocol:

• Supplier Qualification: Meticulous vetting of all raw material sources, including evaluation of physical and chemical characteristics across multiple lots.
• Advanced Dilution: Micro-quantities of high-potency actives are diluted gravimetrically in multiple steps to ensure homogeneity before final blending.
• Batch Testing: Final blends are sampled from the top, middle, and bottom of the mixer to verify Uniformity of Dosage Units (UDU) and blend adequacy.
