1. Choice of process and formulation
Microencapsulation processes enable the preparation of microparticles of the microcapsule or microsphere type (figure 1 ). The choice of process and formulation completely determines the final characteristics of the microparticles (morphology, structure, size, active ingredient content, stability, release profile, etc.).
1.1 Different classes of industrial processes
Microencapsulation processes are varied. It is necessary to classify them in order to make an appropriate choice when faced with a formulation problem in this field. Several classifications exist, all equally valid.
