ABN Receives Grant to Develop Novel Manufacturing Technology

Advanced BioNutrition, a leader in developing functional food ingredients to improve animal health and human nutrition, announced that it has received a $99,000 Phase I SBIR grant from the National Science Foundation to further the development of its novel microencapsulation technology. The SBIR Phase I grant, titled "Continuous Spray-Capture Production System," will allow ABN to convert its prototype encapsulation production system from a batch to a continuous production process, thereby reducing production costs and providing more overall control to the process.
