6. Microencapsulation in Pharmacy

The microencapsulation consists in the entrapment of some active compounds (flavours, glue, vitamin, drug, biological cells …) in microparticles to immobilization, protection, controlled release, structuration or functionalization. It is used in most domain of our daily life (food, cosmetics, pharmacy, building, petroleum …). The introduction overviews the definition, objectives, classification, methods and some industrial aspects of microencapsulation.
