Abstract:The encapsulation of menthol by polymer particles is an attempt to decrease its volatilization loss during the drying process when used in tobacco, cosmetics, and food applications. To generate precise size‐controllable menthol microcapsules with high menthol loading, this work encapsulated menthol with alginate using a new active flow‐focusing microfluidic technology. The size of the alginate‐encapsulated menthol microcapsules can be precisely controlled by adjusting the diameters of the nozzles. The results … Show more
