Description Encapsulation is an enduring technology for protection and controlled release of bioactive compounds. Encapsulation of bioactive compound by micro or nanoencapsulation techniques can improve the stability and bioavailability of the molecule to large extent. (-) - Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), one of the major organic acid in Garcinia cowa, reported to have various health benefits, but are unstable in similar to many bioactive. HCA was chosen as a model hydrophilic compound, to evaluate the effect of microencapsulation by spray drying and freeze drying technique and nanoencapsulation by solid lipid nanocarrier (SLN) technique on its stability and bioavailability.
