A process for encapsulating an active material in a shell composition in which the capsule composition is formed by dispersing an active material and a shell composition in a solvent for the shell composition. Capsules are prepared by spraying the capsule composition into a bath of an anhydrous lower molecular weight polyglycol. The spraying operation serves to form the capsule composition into particles containing the active material as a dispersed phase in a solution of the shell composition and the lower molecular weight polyglycol serves to remove the solvent from the shell composition solution. |
