Microencapsulation of Rodenticides

Studies in Microencapsulation of Rodenticides

Warfarin, zinc phosphide, norbormide and alphachloralose have been microencapsulated by the technique of coacervation and fed to laboratory rats (R. norvegicus) and mice (M. musculus). Results are given of experiments in which the concentration of rodenticide, wall material and phase ratio have been varied separately and in combination. Experiments are also reported in which normal and encapsul...

Principles and Methods of Microencapsulation of Probiotic Microorganisms

Worldwide popularity of probiotic- microorganisms and their products on the one hand, and their general weak viability in food products (especially fermented types) as well as gastrointestinal conditions on the other hand, has encouraged researchers to innovate different methods of probiotics viability improvement.  Microencapsulation of the probiotic cells is one of the newest and highly effic...

Identifying possible alternative rodenticide baits to replace strychnine baits for pocket gophers in California

Rodents cause substantial damage to crops in California and rodenticides have been major tools for reducing that damage. While strychnine has been heavily relied upon to control pocket gophers in California, its future availability is in question because of increased import costs. We conducted efficacy trials with captive, wild-caught Botta's pocket gophers to identify potential alternative rod...

Microencapsulation of Orange Oil by Complex Coacervation and its Release Behavior (REASEARCH NOTE)

Microencapsulation of liquid orange oil as a common flavoring agent in food industries by complex coacervation in a gelatin – gum arabic polymeric wall system was studied. At a fixed ratio of 10% w/v as concentration of the materials used in this study, trend of changes of microencapsulation process variables using different wall polymeric contents along with varying levels of the core to wall ...
