Encapsulation technology is a process by
which core materials, e.g., drugsand natural
products, are enclosed with shell materials,
e.g., protein hydrolysate and phospholipids,
to form capsule. Capsule size varies from
1 – 1,000 micron. Advantages of
microcapsules are improving properties
of the core substances, which are sensitive
to light and easily oxidized, to be more
stable and controlling the release ofcore
materials at suitable time and
concentration. The encapsulation
technique is used in the food industry
to maintain the stability ofimportant
substances in food and make the shelf
life longer It also reduces the number of
important substances used. and can be
consumed in reduced amounts Because the
essence was made smaller and more
concentrated.
