ABSTRACT: The availability of different food products containing bioactive compounds promotes their inclusion in the daily diet consumers. However, effective and safe delivery such requires certain precautions to ensure preservation, stability, bioavailability when consumed. Microencapsulation is a great alternative, which method capable protecting compounds, including probiotic cells, prebioti...

the aim of this work was to investigate the influence of interactions between modified starch (hi-cap 100) and the nonionic surfactant tween 80 on the properties of cardamom oil-in-water emulsion and its corresponding spray dried microcapsules. to this end the mean diameter and size distribution of droplets as well as their polydispersity index and also the viscosity and flow behavior of emulsi...

Effect of phytase and alpha-amylase microencapsulation on chemical, physical, microbial sensory properties whole-grain toast

microencapsulation has become a common technique in the production of controlled release dosage forms. many results have been reported, concerning the use of alginate beads as controlled release drug formulations. alginate has a unique gel-forming property in the presence of multivalent cations, in an aqueous medium. ibuprofen is an excellent analgesic and antipyretic, non-steroidal anti-inflam...

The encapsulation of cells into polymeric microspheres or microcapsules has permitted the transplantation of cells into human and animal subjects without the need for immunosuppressants. Cell-based therapies use donor cells to provide sustained release of a therapeutic product, such as insulin, and have shown promise in treating a variety of diseases. Immunoisolation of these cells via microenc...

ABSTARCT Encapsulation is a process of enclosing the substances within an inert material which protects from environment as well as control drug release. Recently, two type of encapsulation has been performed in several research. Nanoencapsulation is the coating of various substances within another material at sizes on the nano scale. Microencapsulation is similar to nanoencapsulation aside fro...

Microcapsules offer a wide variety of convenience in drug delivery when compared with conventional dosage forms. It is unique carrier system for many pharmaceuticals. Microencapsulation potential process which prolongs the efficacy significantly and improves patient compliance. This approach can alleviate limitations dose dumping, multiple inconvenience, kidney disease. form has advantages elde...
