The Grubio Edge: Advanced Micro-encapsulation of Omega 3 via Spray Drying
At Grubio, we have turned the science of lipid protection into our core specialty. Our group stands out through our industrial mastery of Spray Drying—a cutting-edge technology used to transform high-purity Schizochytrium sp. algae oil into a high-performance, stable powder.
Expertise Driven by Sustainability
Choose Grubio for a 100% sustainable revolution. Our Schizochytrium sp. is a vegan, fish-free alternative that actively protects marine ecosystems.
By leveraging revolutionary micro-encapsulation through advanced spray drying, we transform this precious oil into a highly stable, bioavailable powder. This cutting-edge technology shields nutrients from oxidation, ensuring maximum potency and a neutral profile for human health, pet food, and precision aquaculture.
The Spray Drying Process: Engineering Precision
The transition from a sensitive liquid oil to a perfectly stable powder relies on a rigorous, multi-stage process managed by our expert team:
1-Emulsification
The Schizochytrium sp. oil is blended with a precise aqueous solution containing specialized coating agents (selected biopolymers). This creates an emulsion where the oil is fractionated into microscopic droplets.
3-Instantaneous Drying
Upon contact with a controlled flow of hot air, the water evaporates instantly. Each oil droplet is trapped and “frozen” within a solid protective matrix.
2-Atomization
This emulsion is projected through a high-pressure nozzle into a drying chamber, creating a fine mist.
4-Micro-capsule Formation
The result is a free-flowing powder where every grain acts as a hermetic micro-capsule, shielding the precious DHA from external stressors.

Why Choose Grubio’s Encapsulation Technology?
Utilizing spray drying provides unparalleled benefits for your product formulations:
Thermal and Oxidative Stability:
The coating formed during atomization creates a physical barrier against oxygen and heat. This preserves the integrity of the fatty acids and ensures optimal shelf life, even under challenging storage conditions.
Superior Organoleptic Profile:
This is the hallmark of Grubio’s expertise. Our process traps the volatile molecules responsible for odors. The result is a neutral powder, perfect for human supplements without the aftertaste or premium pet food with high palatability.
Optimized Bioavailability:
The structure of our micro-capsules is engineered to release Omega-3s at the ideal stage of the digestive process, ensuring maximum nutrient absorption.
Seamless Integration:
As a free-flowing powder, our ingredient is easy to dose, non-sticky, and blends homogeneously into dry premixes, tablets, or kibble without risk of leakage or rancidity.
A New Era for Marine Conservation: High-Performance Nutrition Without the Catch
The global demand for Fish Oil and Fishmeal has pushed our oceans to a breaking point. Industrial overfishing disrupts the entire marine food web, depleting the primary food sources of whales, dolphins, and seabirds. Grubio is here to break this cycle. By replacing wild-caught marine ingredients with our fermentation-grown Schizochytrium sp., we offer a truly circular and restorative solution. This is not just an alternative; it is a fundamental shift in how we nourish the planet.
Why Grubio is a Game-Changer for the Oceans:
Preserving Biodiversity: Every ton of Grubio algae oil replaces the need to harvest thousands of wild fish, allowing marine populations to recover and stabilize.
Controlled Fermentation: Unlike traditional fishing which is subject to seasonal fluctuations and environmental contamination, our fermentation occurs in a closed-loop system within our facility.
Zero Environmental Nuisance: Our production process is designed for a minimal footprint. By producing locally through fermentation, we eliminate the heavy carbon emissions of industrial fishing fleets and the risk of marine pollution.
Purity & Precision: Our oil is naturally free from heavy metals, microplastics, and PCBs often found in fish-derived products, providing a safer, cleaner resource for human and animal nutrition.
Our mission is clear: to provide the world with the essential Omega-3s it needs, without taking a single life from the sea.
