Abstract
Thin layer films of entrapping agents, which were used for liquid-lipi d encapsulation, were prepared and their critical surface tensions gam ma(c) were measured. Correlation between the gamma(c) values and the f ractions of lipid exposed at the surface of encapsulated samples indic ated that high encapsulation efficiency was attainable when the gamma( c) value was larger than or equal to the surface tension of lipid to b e encapsulated. This provides us a criterion for selection of an entra pping agent to realize good encapsulation.
