  • Publication number: 20230014170
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the disclosure may be drawn to ingestible delivery devices. An ingestible delivery device may include a first compartment and a second compartment. A lipase may be contained within the first compartment, and a fat may be contained within the second compartment. The first compartment may be sealed from the second compartment prior to exposure to a trigger, preventing the lipase and the fat from contacting each other, and at least one of the first compartment or the second compartment may at least partially rupture upon exposure to the trigger, allowing the lipase and the fat to contact each other.
