Coffee with Capsoil’s oil based functional ingredients
In Israel, Capsoil FoodTech is developing lipid-based functional inclusions for coffee pods.
Owned by Prodalim, the start-up is using coffee pods as a ‘unique delivery system’ to infuse coffee with multiple ingredients adding wellness benefits.
While oil and nature do not mix by nature, Capsoil claims to have ‘cracked the code’ to incorporate oil-based nutrients into coffee pods.
This ‘opens the doors’ to coffee fortified with oil-soluble ingredients, such as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), CBD, vitamins A, D, E, and K, and others.
“Coffee is a functional drink by definition. This is why it is the perfect vehicle for added functional ingredients,” said Itay Shafat, scientific director for Capsoil FoodTech.
“You get up in the morning and your first act is to drink a cup of coffee to perk you up and help you focus on your daily routine. Consumers already link coffee with functionality.”
Capsoil’s technology can convert any oil or oil-soluble ingredient into a water-soluble powder that can be incorporated into a hot beverage. The start-up says it demonstrates high stability, even in hot temperatures.
“Capsoil powders tick all the right boxes for today’s competitive coffee producers seeking a cutting-edge differentiation in the marketplace.”
