Microencapsulation of polyphenols - the specific case of the microencapsulation of Sambucus Nigra L. extracts - A review

ConclusionsThe main purpose of the current work is to focus on important topics about the microencapsulation of polyphenols, studying the specific case of the Sambucus Nigra L. extracts, including the description of the most important extraction methods for plant samples and of the encapsulation techniques and wall materials used to encapsulate polyphenols. It was also made an approach to the release tests involved in the release phenomenon of the bioactive compounds from the natural resources, including its mechanisms, simulated release media and kinetics.Graphical abstract
