SuperCoat[tm] microencapsulated nutrients and SuperBlend[tm] custom nutrient pre-mixes deliver effective fortification solutions in a wide variety of products. The Wright Group's proprietary SMART[tm] process allows SuperCoat microencapsulates to eliminate unwanted taste and odor, minimize degradation in extreme processing conditions, prevent reaction with other ingredients and protect nutrients in extreme acidic (low pH) environments. Wright SuperBlend custom pre-mix solutions offer precise nutritional solutions, delivering homogeneity and consistency in a single quality-assured blend, increasing the efficiency of the production process.
