What is encapsulation ?• Shielding to evade chemical reactions or to facilitate the
regulated discharge of core bioactive ingredient from the shell (capsule and coating) with efficient mass transport behavior

What encapsulation does?• Protect a fragile or unstable compound fro its surrounding
environment• Protect the user from the side effects fo the encapsulated
compound trap a compound (aroma, organic solvent, pesticide essential oil etc)
• Modify the density of a liquid• Change a liquid into a solid • Isolate two incompatible compounds that must coexist in the
same medium • Control the release of the encapsulated compound

Encapsulation process using supercritical Fluid• Can be classified into
1. As solvent: Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solution(RESS) and derived process
2. As an anti-solvent: Supercritical Anti Solvent(SAS) and derived processes

Supercritical Antisolvent Processing
• Heterogeneous particle size distribution
• Anti solvent dissolves in the solution by decreasing its density and the solvation power of the organic solvent
• Solvent evaporates in the supercritical phase, leading to the oversaturation of the solution, then to precipitation of the solute.
• Excess of solvent is eliminated under a continuous flow of pure supercritical fluid via a purge gate

Gas Saturated Solutions Process
• Supercritical fluid plays the role of a solute
• Under pressure gases can be dissolved in liquids
• Gas-saturated solution expanded through a nozzle into the atomization chamber, to form solid particles or liquid droplets

Encapsulation by Cooling of Emulsions• Dissolving or dispersing the active compound in a melted wall material• melted phase is then emulsified in a continuous phase heated at a higher
temperature than the melting point of the coating material• Then environment is suddenly cooled and particles solidify• Allows the microencapsulation of hydrophilic or lipophilic molecules if a
continuous phase is chosen for which these molecules do not have enough affinity

Ionic Gelation• Consists of extruding an aqueous solution of polymer through
a syringe needle or a nozzle• Droplets are received in a dispersant phase and are
transformed, after reaction, into spherical gel particles• Chitosan (88.3%)• calcium alginate (90%)• tea polyphenol extract• Elsholtzia splendens extract• Catechin and (-)-epigallocatechin

Acidic Precipitation• Acid precipitation of the casein• Sodium caseinate • Calcium caseinate• China green tea
Complex Coacervation• Based on the ability of cationic and anionic water-soluble
polymers to interact in water to form a liquid, neutral, polymer-rich phase called coacervate
• Separation of an aqueous polymeric solution into two miscible liquid phases: a dense coacervate phase and a dilute equilibrium phase
• The dense coacervate phase wraps as a uniform layer around dispersed core materials
04/15/2023 18
Complex Coacervation• Technology parameters are the pH, the ionic strength, the temperature, the
molecular weight and the concentrations of the polymers• Three steps process: formation of an oil-in-water emulsion, formation of
the coating and stabilization of the coating• Particles are not perfectly spherical, and production cost is very high• Useful high value active molecules or for unstable substances• Calcium alginate and chitosan• Pectin and soy protein• Yerba mate extract

Layer-by-Layer Process• Deposit alternate layers of oppositely charged materials onto mineral
or organic substrates which constitute the core of the particle• Self-assembly technique based on electrostatic attraction of charged
polymers leading to the formation of membranes of controllable thickness according to the number of stacked layers.

or more concentric lipid bilayers
separated by water compartments• Classes- Small unilamellar vesicles (SUV), large unilamellar vesicles
(LUV) and large multilamellar vesicles (MLV) or multivesicular vesicles (MVV)
• Used to target, protect, release, immobilize or isolate hydrophilic, lipophilic or amphiphilic substances
• Classical Bangham method-hydration of dried phospholipid films• Unstabile in biological fluids and the high speed of active ingredient
release• Payload of the active ingredient is very low• Encapsulation efficiency of phenolic compounds depends on the
morphology of the liposome

In Situ Polymerization• Process consists of emulsifying the monomer component in an
aqueous phase added with an appropriate surfactant• Mostly vinylic and acrylic compounds such as styrene or
methyl methacrylate• Polymerization having been started, the resulting water-
insoluble polymer gives microsphere• Quercetin
Interfacial Polycondensation and Interfacial Cross-Linking
• Chemical reaction by which a membrane made of polymers is created around emulsion droplets
• Reaction occurs at interface between the continuous and dispersed phases. In the emulsion, each phase contains a type of monomer
• Applied to aqueous or organic
active materials
