Recently micro particles or microspheres have gained great attention due to their free flowing powder characteristics and biodegradable nature generally made up of protiens or synthetic polymeric materials having particle size in the range of 1-200μm. Depending upon the encapsulation of active drug moieties there are two types of microspheres (microcapsules and micro matrices). Microcapsules ar...

Chunks are a programming construct in PLAN, the Packet Language for Active Networks, comprised of a code segment and a suspended function call. In PLAN, chunks provide support for encapsulation and other packet programming techniques. This paper begins by explaining the semantics and implementation of chunks. We proceed, using several PLAN source code examples, to demonstrate the usefulness of ...

INTRODUCTION Single-cell isolation is important for biochemical screening platform in which each cell can be genetically varied and observation of individual reaction level is necessary. Microfluidic droplet-based technology enables the isolation of cells in individual aqueous chamber, but single-cell encapsulation efficiency is usually as low as 22% [1]. Several reports have been presented to ...

Aceclofenac was formulated as novel enteric microcapsules for improved delivery to the intestine using the polymer ethyl cellulose as the retardant material. Micro encapsulation of aceclofenac was done to achieve a controlled drug release profile suitable for per oral administration. Aceclofenac was used as core and microcapsules were prepared by an emulsion solvent evaporation method. The prep...

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed at probiotication of tomato and carrot juices using Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. fermentum, Lb. casei, Lysinibacillus sphaericus and Saccharomyces boulardii. To enhance the stability, the probiotic cultures were micro-encapsulated using alginate coated chitosan beads. Tomato and carrot juice samples were pasteurized for 20 min at 63 °C. Lb. fermentum, Lb. plantara...

This article offers a critical analysis of the evolution encapsulation methods for herbicides and natural products, with main focus on organic formulations. It extols possibilities presented by these micro- nanomaterials, such as their slow release, stability, bioavailability, water solubility, stability classical from origins to present.
