Currently, there are various products in the market
with nutritional and nutraceutical properties, containing
vitamins, energetic substances etc. However, it is known
that many of these substances, mainly vitamins, are
highly unstable. They lose their function when mixed
with liquids or when in contact with oxygen. In other
words, such substances start to degrade as soon as
they are on the production line. The same happens to
some ingredients, such as aromas, which degrade after
prolonged contact with water (STEEMAN, 2012).
To avoid the loss of such compounds, there are a
number of caps in development and others already on
the market for this use. Two of these, from Tap-The-Cap
(Picture 4.15) and Viz Cap (Picture 4.16) companies,
keep the compound protected within a special
compartment; upon putting pressure on the spout,
the compartment opens, making the compound and
the liquid to be mixed. In another development, from
Teamplast, the cap frees a portion of vitamin powder to
be mixed, allowing the instant preparation of the drink,
which wins in freshness and healthiness (Picture 4.17).
