When people are depressed at work, many people always want to drink a cup of coffee or tea to refresh themselves. caffeine in coffee and tea is a central nervous stimulant that acts on the metabolism of the human body. therefore, in order to boost their spirits, many people are dependent on caffeine, but they don't really enjoy the cup of tea and coffee in their hands. Now that there are new ways to ingest caffeine, Spanish company Lipofoods has launched a caffeine-containing microcapsule (microcapsules) that can be added to a variety of foods, such as energy bars, candy, chewing gum, etc., so that even a candy can have the effect of a cup of coffee.

Microencapsulation refers to the use of materials to cover the material to produce very small particles, such particles have capsule-like properties, can release the bread-coated material under certain conditions. There are two types of caffeine microcapsules from Lipofood. The microcapsules containing 60% caffeine are coated with two plant waxes and medium-chain fatty acid glycerides, while the microcapsules containing 75% caffeine are coated with fatty acid glycerides. Both microcapsules are polyhedral in shape, making use of the characteristics of microcapsules to effectively mask the bitterness of caffeine, so it can be easily added to a variety of different foods.

In particular, using microcapsules to ingest caffeine, caffeine can be released slowly and continuously in the body, unlike when drinking coffee, caffeine is quickly absorbed and stimulates the central nervous system. The effects of caffeine include increasing concentration and sensitivity, improving sports performance, delaying the depletion of liver sugar in muscles, and so on. the slow release of microencapsulated caffeine can make the effect of caffeine on the human body continuous. therefore, in addition to the general intake of caffeine, it is more suitable to be used in foods related to athletes, which can be used to continuously enhance athletes' performance and physical coordination, so as to make athletes' performance better.

When you want to refresh and relieve fatigue in the future, you may no longer have to drink tea and coffee that you don't like so much. Just eat some biscuits and sweets containing caffeine microcapsules can improve your focus and performance. The advent of caffeine microcapsules gives people more choices for refreshing foods.
