Encapsulation and Delivery of Active Ingredients for Medical and Consumer Applications
Y. Shona Pek, Wu Hong and Jackie Y. Ying
Personal care and consumer products typically require the encapsulation and delivery of one or more active ingredients. For such applications, the stability of the active ingredients in the delivery system, as well as the tunability of the delivery mechanism are important factors in evaluating the effectiveness of the delivery system. In particular, continuous delivery of active ingredients with minimal initial burst is highly desirable. We have developed microspheres and nanoemulsion-based delivery systems capable of encapsulating sensitive active ingredients, such as drugs and proteins, while maintaining their activity and efficacy. These systems are non-toxic and safe for long-term use. With our technologies, we have successfully delivered active ingredients for postoperative, ocular, wound infection and skincare applications for the medical and consumer industries.
