Microencapsulation is the protective technology encapsulating solid, liquid or gas materials into micro particles for their safe delivery. Microencapsulation has proved very useful in a variety of commercial applications in the industry. In this process, an active agent is surrounded or coated with a polymeric material. The process produces particles in diameters ranging from 1 to 1000m.
The core component which is encapsulated could be in the form of solid, liquid or gaseous or hydrophilic or hydrophobic.
Pro-active material that covers acts as a vehicle for the active substance's core and is employed to keep it stable against the impacts of the environment.
Keep fragile components safe from decay.
Making active chemicals more stable.
Enhance solubility and hence bioavailability
Enhance flowability
Covers unpleasant tastes, odours and flavours.
Transform the active substance from liquid to powder.
It ensures the release of encapsulated ingredients at a controlled time and rate
Prevents active chemical from interacting negatively with other components
Makes procedure dust-free
Enhance fusing properties
