Abstract

Microencapsulation is a process used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries to encapsulate solids, liquids, or gases within polymeric coatings. It offers benefits like protection from adverse changes and the controlled release of core materials. In the pharmaceutical industry, it improves drug delivery systems, enhances drug taste masking, and increases patient compliance. The cosmetic industry encapsulates active ingredients for topical application, ensuring gradual release and improved product quality. In the food sector, it protects food components and enhances nutritional content.
