Production of microcapsules with an average diameter of 0.1-5 mm comprises: (a) forming an oil-in-water emulsion from an oil and an aqueous formulation of active ingredients in the presence of an emulsifier; (b) mixing the emulsion with an aqueous solution of an anionic polymer; (c) contacting the mixture with an aqueous chitosan solution and (d) separating the microcapsules from the aqueous phase. |
