Insulin-containing microcapsules were prepared by a layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and polyanions, such as poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS), poly(vinyl sulfate) (PVS), and dextran sulfate (DS) on insulin-containing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) microparticles. The CaCO3 core was dissolved in diluted HCl solution to obtain insulin-containing hollow microcapsules....

Microencapsulation is a process in which solid, liquid or gas components are covered with a septum.The present study has focused on the effect of stirring to produce ferric saccharide capsules withalginate coating applying the coacervation method so that we can obtain the best capsules forfortification of hydrated and dehydrated food products. At first, three methods, including stirrer,ultra-so...

The rainfastness of a microencapsulated sex pheromone formulation for codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), was evaluated in a series of laboratory experiments with detached apple, pear, and walnut leaves. Increasing the intensity and duration of simulated rainfall significantly increased the removal of microcapsules from both the top and bottom of apple leaves. The removal of microcapsules was s...

The magnetic polymer microcapsules, as a promising environmental stimuli-responsive delivery vehicle, have been increasingly exploited to tackle the problem of remotely navigated delivery. This study presented a novel design and fabrication of magnetic poly(L-glutamic acid)/chitosan (PGA/CS) microcapsules. Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were in situ synthesized inside nanoporous PGA/CS microcapsu...

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...
