WACKER offers tailored and innovative solutions and products for the functional food and nutraceutical industry. These include an inventive range of materials for improving products and processes. For example molecular encapsulation solutions for odor or taste masking, to stabilize sensitive ingredients or to increase the bioavailability of certain ingredients. WACKER offers also a soluble dietary fiber for the stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions. This fiber is an alpha-cyclodextrin, a naturally occurring ring-shaped sugar molecule derived from starch. WACKER has over 15 years of experience in manufacturing and formulating alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins. WACKER also produces a high-quality range of non-human, non-animal derived L-cysteine products.
