Microencapsulation of insulin has been difficult, due to the high sensitivity of insulin to the harsh conditions that can occur during the microencapsulation process. We have developed a method of preparing insulin-loaded microcapsules by using a monoaxial ultrasonic atomizer to form microdroplets of insulin in aqueous solution surrounded by poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) solution. Admini...

Coacervation is known to be true microencapsulation because the core material is completely surrounded by a continuous coating of wall material. Coacervation involves interaction between one or many hydrocolloids, particularly between oppositely charged protein and polysaccharide in the same reaction media [1]. The interaction relies on the charges carried by the biopolymers, pH of the coacerva...

The consumer interest in health-promoting foods is almost dramatically increasing because of the increased health consciousness of the modern people. Functional foods are fortified, enriched foods that contain specific health improving nutrients and prevent certain nutrition based disorders. Functional components are naturally present in certain foods (e.g. fruits, vegetables etc.,) and enrichm...

Objective: WJMSC is a stem cell-derived from Wharton's Jelly the umbilical cord of pregnant women which has ability to differentiate into other cells that are osetogenic, myogenic, neurogenic, and hematopoietic. Stem cell microencapsulation coating technique expected act as delivery vehicle. This study aims make using various types natural polymers.
 Methods: (Wharton's Mesenchymal Cell) w...

The molecular characteristics of the food-grade polysaccharide gum acacia may vary depending on source, which could in turn significantly affect its behaviour as thickener, emulsifier and a wall material microencapsulation. In this study, five gums (GA) from different sources were screened with respect to weight distribution, interfacial tension, microencapsulation salmon oil by complex coacerv...
