CAPSULE COMPRISING A LIQUID-TIGHT AND GAS-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND USE OF SAME FOR THE IN VINTRO BREEDING OF ARTHROPODS

摘要

The invention relates to a capsule comprising a semi-solid core containing a material of interest to be encapsulated, and a polymer chitosan membrane surrounding said core, having a thickness of less than 1 μm, and impregnated with at least one hydrophobic compound, especially a mixture of C20-C40 alkanes. Said capsule is especially useful as a support for the in vitro breeding of an arthropod, a nutritive medium for said arthropod being encapsulated to this end, in a gellified form, in the membrane.
