Process for encapsulation and encapsulated active material system(.

摘要

Capsules are formed having a liquifield core while avoiding capsule core gelatin by adding drops of a solution of either an anionic polymer composition or a cationic polymer composition to a solution of an ionic polymer of opposite charge. The drops contain an active ingredient such as a cell or microorganism capable of producing a biologically active product or can contain a biological or chemical composition. The interface of the ionic polymers form a permeable membrane surrounding the liquid drops.
