Abstract: Non-toxic, polymeric plush animal toys with incorporated natural food flavor compositions are shown and described. The flavor compositions are microencapsulated in a natural protein shell, and the microcapsules are incorporated in a mesh liner. Along with a plush outer layer, the mesh liner defines a fabric enclosure that encloses a compressible fill material. When an animal bites into the toy, the microcapsules rupture, and the food flavor composition diffuses through the mesh liner and plush outer layer.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to preparation of individual taste-masked, high bioavailability, high payload, microcapsules by microencapsulation of water-insoluble NSAID drug materials in the substantial absence of microcapsule agglomerates. These taste-masked microcapsules contain a high payload, e.g., about 83+ wt. % of said NSAID drug material having high bioavailability and can then be formulated into chewable tablets and liquid aqueous suspensions for medicinal use. Both cellulose acetate phthalate and gelatin are the microencapsulating polymer wall material.
