Extrusion is a novel and promising technology used for encapsulation of flavours and bioactive compounds because of its robust, viable method and highly efficient process. It has been widely used in solubility enhancement applications for dispersing the active substance in polymer or lipid matrices at the molecular level. The encapsulated granules can be created using thermal energy (Hot extrusion) or without thermal energy (Cold extrusion).
