DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/721747/nanoemulsions_in_f) has announced the addition of the "Nanoemulsions in Foods - Patent and Technology Report - Key Players, Innovators and Industry Analysis" report to their offering.
With rapid technological advances, studies in the field of food processing have been extended from micro to nano-sized (10-9 m) particles. Food nanotechnology is rapidly emerging with several innovations in food packaging and nutraceuticals. Nano-emulsions are now being increasingly used for encapsulating bio active compounds and act as transport vehicles in functional foods and probiotic health foods.
In general, Nano-encapsulation involves the incorporation, absorption or dispersion of bioactive compounds in small vesicles with nano (or submicron) diameters.
This report focuses on finding the key innovators and the industry ecosystem through relevant patents, clinical trials and university data encompassing the research in the fast-growing area of Nano-emulsions in foods. Dolcera has a standardized and tested procedure to formulate comprehensive patent search strategies to retrieve all the relevant patents. The report highlights year-wise patent activity (trend line) along with the key industrial players in the field. The different companies have been categorized based on their position in the value chain. A comprehensible result in the form of the Dolcera dashboard has been given. The dashboard links the companies in each category to their patents, hence making an interactive platform for analysis. Companies have also been segregated based on their geographical distribution.
