                   substance  namely  core  material  into  another              or availability of coated materials. Several of these 
                   substance  that  is  coating  material  is  called  as        properties  can  be  attained  by  macro-packaging 
                   microencapsulation which gives capsules in the size           techniques,     however,      the    uniqueness      of 
                   range from less than one micron to several hundred            microencapsulation  is  the  smallness  of  the  coated 
                   microns  in  size.  Microencapsulation  is  one  of  the      particles and there subsequent use and adaptation to 
                   highly  effective  method.  Various  factors  like            a  wide  variety  of  dosage  forms  and  product 
                   solubility  of  polymer  in  solvent,  concentration  of      application. The materials to be coated are referred 
                   polymer, solubility of organic solvent in water, rate         to  as  core,  internal  phase,  active  ingredient,  fill, 
                   of  solvent  removal  etc.  affects  the  encapsulation       payload  or  nucleus,  whereas  the  coatings  of 
                   efficiency  of  microparticles.  Substances  can  be          microcapsules  are  termed  as  wall,  shell,  external 
                   encapsulated in such a way that the core material is          phase,membrane  or  coating.  Microcapsules  may 
                   enclosed within coating material for specific interval        have one or multiple coatings arranged in strata of 
                   of  time.  This  technique  of  microencapsulation  has       varying  thicknesses  around  core  material.  All  the 
                   been  used  in  different  fields  like  pharmaceutical,      three states of material i.e. solid, liquid and gas, may

                   enclosing  a  substance  inside  a  miniature  capsule.       1.   The  primary  reason  for  microencapsulation  is 
                   Extremely  tiny  droplets,  or  particles  of  liquid  or          found to be either  for  sustained  or  prolonged

                   or  coated  with  a  continuous  film  of  polymeric          2.   This  technique  has  been  widely  used  for 
                   material  for  the  purpose  of  shielding  the  active            masking  taste  and  odour  of  many  drugs  to 
                   ingredient from the surrounding environment. These                 improve patient compliance.

                   of  ionically  crosslinked  moiety.  The  mechanical        scale-up,    when       compared      with     other 
                   strength  and  permeability  of  the  beads  can  be        microencapsulation    techniques,    justifying  the 
                   enhanced    by   an    input   of   polycations   or        preference in industrial terms. Spray-drying method 
                   polyelectrolytes to the bead surface[17].                   was  industrially  employed  since  1927.  The  core

                   process that solid drug particles are suspended on a        because the input solvent evaporates and therefore 
                   jet  of  air  followed by spraying a liquid coating on      the microcapsules can be formed in a poly nuclear 
                   the drug particles, and the coated wall is solidified       or  matrix  type.  Spray-drying  is  normally  used  for 
                   through solvent evaporation or cooling procedures.          encapsulating  labile  drugs  due  to  its  short  contact 
                   Wurster in 1953 developed the coating technique by          time  in  the  drier.  Spraying  drying  can  be  applied 
                   using  a  coating  chamber with a  cylindrical  nozzle      with the use of supercritical carbon dioxide for the 
                   and  a  perforated  bottomplate  for  spraying  the         entrapment of sensitive drugs such as proteins[20].
