Research - Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Progel was formed in 2009 to commercialise the encapsulation method developed by Professor Bhesh Bhandari, a globally recognized expert in drying technology, dairy research and 3D printing based at the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences. Compared to established methods, the Progel technology represents a step up in terms of simplicity, scalability, ease of use and small particle size. Progel microgels are a perfect delivery vehicle for bioactives - small enough not to be detected in foods, beverages or oral suspensions, remain intact at low pH and release their payload above pH 7. Therefore encapsulated actives are protected through the acidic stomach with release occurring gradually over 2-10 hours following consumption, providing potential enhanced health benefits with actives released where absorption is greatest.Progel is currently based at The University of Queensland and has access to top class research facilities including microbiology, sensory and formulation laboratories. We are assisted by expert chemists, food technologist and researchers. Our highly trained technical staffs have extensive experiences in probiotics research, food R&D and project management.
