EU Patent EP3964195

MCT Technology

Patented encapsulation innovation - 3-layer protection for maximum stability and controlled release of Bacillus subtilis MM40® (DSM 21097; Budapest Treaty DSM 33619; EU Trademark No. 018279328), even under extreme climatic conditions.

Why Standard Formulations Reach Their Limits

Classical probiotics require an unbroken cold chain and lose the majority of their viability under real-world storage conditions. Even naturally stable spore-formers benefit from additional protection to maximize their efficacy.

Cold Chain Dependency

Conventional probiotics (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) require continuous refrigeration from manufacturer to consumer. Any interruption drastically reduces viable cell counts.

Extreme Climate Zones

In target markets such as the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, temperatures can render standard formulations ineffective within days of storage.

Gastric Acid Transit

Even robust formulations can be compromised by the low pH of the stomach. Controlled release in the intestine is essential for targeted delivery.

Maximizing Efficacy

Spores are inherently stable - yet additional technological protection maximizes survival rates and enables extended shelf life under all conditions.

3-Layer Protection - Patented Encapsulation

MCT Technology combines three complementary protective layers into a unique encapsulation system that unifies stability, storage and controlled release in a single step.

🛡️
Layer 1

Natural Spore Coat

The endospore of B. subtilis MM40® provides inherent resistance to heat, UV radiation, gastric acid and mechanical stress as the first protective layer. This natural resilience forms the foundation of the encapsulation system.

⚗️
Layer 2

MCT Oil Embedding

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) enclose the spore as the second protective layer. The MCT oil acts as a hydrophobic barrier against moisture and oxidative stress while simultaneously serving as a carrier for the outer sustained-release matrix.

🔬
Layer 3

Silicon Sustained-Release Matrix

The patented silicon-based sustained-release layer forms the outer encapsulation. It enables controlled, delayed release of the spore in the intestinal environment while providing additional protection against extreme storage conditions.
