ABSTRACT:
Microencapsulation is a process used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries to encapsulate solids, liquids, or gases within polymeric coatings. It is a vital technology in the pharmaceutical industry that helps with precise drug release, and stability and makes unpleasant drugs more tolerable. Through various microencapsulation technologies, it also offers a wide range of benefits in the food and cosmetics industries. Various microencapsulation techniques are utilized in different sectors based on their respective principles. This article provides a review of different microencapsulation techniques, their advantages and disadvantages, and the various core and coating materials used.
