Microencapsulation is the process of covering an active substance with a porous wall, obtaining capsules between 50 nm to 2 mm. Different biologically active materials as enzymes, microorganisms, vitamins, hormones, among others, can be microencapsulated
to protect them against environmental conditions. There are different microencapsulation methods, so the choice is based on the physical and chemical properties needed for the application and the production costs. This article discusses the advances in the area of microencapsulation focused on the properties of systems and some examples of its application, advantages and disadvantages.
