Protection: Encapsulation protects sensitive materials from environmental factors like light, oxygen, and moisture. Controlled Release: Microcapsules can be engineered to release their contents in a controlled manner, over a specified period or in response to certain triggers. Improved Stability: Encapsulated materials often exhibit enhanced stability and a longer shelf life. Enhanced Solubility: Microencapsulation can improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds.
