In particular, there is disclosed a microcapsule wherein the EA is water soluble or organic solvent, in particular ethanol, soluble, or a microcapsule wherein said EA is an agent, the water solubility of which is pH-dependent. In particular, the core does not consist in or comprise a metal oxide, and the coating does not comprise a disintegrant, in particular sodium starch glycolate. Also disclosed is a process for preparing the microcapsules. |
