Food Formulation & Encapsulation Scientist

• The Food Formulation & Encapsulation Scientist involves in the development and optimization of food formulations and encapsulation systems for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and food ingredients, with a focus on enhancing stability, performance, and delivery of sensitive components

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop formulations for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and food ingredients
• Apply encapsulation technologies to protect sensitive compounds (e g , flavors, vitamins, probiotics, bioactives)
• Evaluate stability, release behavior, and performance of encapsulated ingredients under food processing and storage conditions
• Conduct laboratory trials, pilot studies, and data analysis
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D, quality, and product development
• Document experimental methods, results, and technical reports in compliance with food industry standards

• Masters or PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Food Science or a related field
• 3 to 5 years of experience in formulation science in food or nutraceutical applications
• Practical exposure to formulation science in food or nutraceutical systems
• Experience with encapsulation technologies such as emulsions, spray drying,
• coacervation, liposomes, or biopolymer-based systems
• Strong understanding of ingredient interactions, stability, and release mechanisms in food matrices
