Multimicrocapsules that include encapsulated components of at least one nutritionally, pharmacologically, or medically active functional substance, wherein, within an encapsulation of one or more layers of a first encapsulating material around a common capsule matrix, there are provided a first active functional component in an amount sufficient to provide functional benefits after being ingested by a subject and a component preserving or function enhancing substance present in an amount to preserve and enhance the functional benefits of the active functional component. The encapsulation delays release of the active functional component when the microcapsules are ingested by the subject and provides a synchronous or tuned release of the active functional component and component preserving or function enhancing substance in the intestine of the subject. Also, a process and apparatus for forming such microcapsules. |
