Which Form of Phoshpahtidylserine is Better?

The application of phosphatidylserine (PS) in food processing often involves different forms. Powder is the most common form that can be easily added into foods. PS in powder form is easy to blend and disperse, which is conducive to the uniformity and consistency in end products.

PS is also available as a dietary supplement used in capsules or soft gels, which require precise dosage. Capsules and soft gels provide a more convenient way for consumers who do not wish to add powder directly to food.

While determining a which form is better, it depends on the specific processing technique and the applications.

For food homogeneity: if the product requires a homogeneously dispersed phosphatidylserine, the powder form may be more suitable as it can be more easily mixed into food.

Precise dosing: if precise dosing needs to be ensured, especially in dietary supplements, capsules or soft gels form may be more appropriate.

Consumer preference: Some people may prefer to opt for an unflavored or tasteless powder form, while others may prefer to opt for capsules or soft gels form for easier swallowing.

Product type: Different food types may be more suitable for different forms of PS. For example, beverages and baby food may be easier to use in powder form, while dietary supplements may be easier to use in capsules or soft gels form.
