BSO's unpleasant taste and unavailability of dosage form suitable for children nictitate the need for a new formulation. This study aimed to encapsulate BSO in alginate beads for TQ stabilisation and taste masking. Microencapsulation was performed using an electrospray technique where the flow rate and high voltage were studied using ȑ full factorial design. The response variables were the size and shape of the beads and the encapsulation efficiency. TQ stability was ◅ Back to results  Export  Download  Print  E-mail  Save to PDF ⋆ Add to List ▻ More...
