ADVANCES IN MICROENCAPSULATION TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATION

Microencapsulation is a process where tiny particles of a core substance are surrounded by a coating material to form small capsules. This technique is used to protect, control the release, or enhance the properties of the core substance, which can range from less than one micron to several hundred micron in size. Microencapsulation is a versatile technology used to enclose active ingredients within a protective shell, controlling their release and improving their stability. This technique has numerous application in pharmaceutical, enabling, the development of innovative products with enhanced functionality.
