Abstract: A process for encapsulating a solid food particle with a liquid encapsulating material comprising the steps of metering and encapsulation mixture (20) into a flow restrictor (14) concurrently a gas stream is introduced at inlet (22) into the flow restrictor there by atomizing the liquid encapsulating material and creating a turbulent flow zone at the outlet of the flow restrictor (14). Concomitant with metering the encapsulating material with the gas stream, solid food particulate (30) is introduced via hopper (28) to the turbulent zone at the outlet of the flow restrictor (14) wherein the solid food particles are encapsulating by the atomized encapsulating material, the encapsulated food particle inhibits environmental volatiles from diffusing into the food product while preventing oxidation of the food.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing compositions comprised of carrier particles under 100 nm that have been loaded to a level of greater than 60% by weight with a liquid. The highly-liquid-loaded particles can be further coated or encapsulated with functional coating or encapsulating materials.

Abstract: A process of coating to create pharmaceutical particles is disclosed. The coating can enhance the pharmaceutical particle by providing a controlled release barrier, moisture barrier, surface modifying agent, wetting agent, flowability or fluidizing agent, hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity agent, flavor masking agent, odor masking agent, release control agent, or coloring agent; or an inert particle can be coated with a pharmaceutically active liquid. Also disclosed are coated pharmaceutical particles made by one of the processes of the invention.
