| abstract |
The invention relates to a microcapsule, in particular, for immobilizing organic or inorganic solids, liquids and/or gases, which is to be used in the fields of food engineering, pharmaceuticals and/or chemistry. The inventive microcapsule comprises a preferably spherical core containing the substance to be immobilized and comprises a covering that encloses said core. According to the invention, a phase limit that prevents the diffusion of small molecules is formed out of two substances, which are preferably liquid and which cannot be mixed with one another, inside the capsule or in the capsule covering. |
