摘要 |
The invention described herein includes a particle comprising: a bioactive component and a barrier component, the barrier component preventing deterioration of the bioactive component. The barrier component may comprise a sodium salt of alginic acid which may be polymerized. The particle may further comprise sugar. The particles may be used in foods, pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical cocktails, skin care and hair care products, cosmetics and animal foods. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the particles using a divalent cation to polymerize a mixture of a sodium salt of alginic acid, sugar and water. Also disclosed is a food comprising a substrate comprising one or more of water and a lipid and one or more particles comprising a bioactive component and a barrier component. |
