Lipofoods was formerly part of Lipotec Group, a privately owned biotechnological group founded in 1987 around two platform technologies: delivery systems and peptides. In July 2012, the Lubrizol Corporation completed the acquisition of Lipotec, Diverdrugs and Lipofoods. Lipofoods is now part of Lubrizol Advanced Materials, retaining its name. The addition of these companies complements Lubrizol’s business and provides a broad product portfolio, innovative technology and applications expertise. 

Our core technology strength in microencapsulation and delivery systems gives us potential basis to enable our customers to develop premium products with leading performance claims by including our branded ingredients in their final formulations. Lipofoods has a strong presence worldwide through its well-established distribution network and is also an ISO 22000 certified company.

Food trays and baking molds made from Genuine Vegetable parchment are biodegradable and home compostable.

Micronutrient deficiencies, such as iron, calcium and zinc, are a worldwide health and socioeconomic concern. While food fortification is generally considered the best approach for eradicating micronutrient deficiencies and preventing undesirable health conditions like anaemia and osteoporosis, there are some technical issues associated with these ingredients, often resulting in objectionable organoleptic changes, reduced bioavailability and challenging incorporation in final products.

Microencapsulation is currently the leading solution to overcome these technical limitations. Its shield-like coating avoids interactions, improves dispersibility and enhances bioavailability of functional food ingredients.
Lipofoods' expertise in microencapsulation technologies has made us a leading supplier of functional food ingredients for a wide range of food applications. We have a well-established distribution network and are an ISO:22000 certified company.

• Enhanced bioavailability
• Controlled interactions with other components
• Improved stability and dispersibility in final formulas
• Minimised unpleasant taste and controlled release of functional and health ingredients
• Consequently, easy enrichment of several types of functional food and dietary supplements for YOUR BRAND is permitted
