INTRODUCTION
Encapsulation or microencapsulation is dened[1] as the
covering of liquids, solids, or gases with a thin, protective
layer or wall of some material, which inhibits volatilization
of the compound in question, thereby protecting it from
chemical deterioration. The term microencapsulation,
when used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, is a
synonym for encapsulation. The encapsulation or microencapsulation process has been applied in the food industry
for various reasons.[2] Various methods have been proposed in the literature to produce microcapsules, and spray
drying is the most commonly used method.[3] One of the
most promising low-cost alternatives to spray drying is
spouted-bed drying on a bed of inert solids.[4] The spouted
bed has been widely used in drying processes and represents an alternative to spray drying to obtain products of
the same quality at a lower cost.[57] Since its introduction
in 1995,[8] this technique has been used in numerous operations, such as the following[9]: drying of granular materials;
granulation; drying of solutions and suspensions; coating
and disinfection of grains and mixing solids.[7,10,11] The

solids) compared with that of spray drying (drying of droplets); similar results were obtained in this study.
The retention and encapsulation efciency obtained for
both the spout-uid bed dryer and the spray dryer for all
operating conditions used in this study are shown in
Fig. 3. For the spouted bed dryer, at 1.5 Umst, the retention
efciency increased with increases in the inlet and outlet
drying air temperatures, which obtained the maximum
(56%) at a Ti of 155 C and a To of 80 C; after reaching
these temperatures, the efciency decreased as Ti and T0
increased. The encapsulation efciency exhibited the same
behavior, though the maximum value (54%) was reached
at a Ti of 140 C and a To of 90 C. For a ow rate of
1.2 Umst, the same pattern was observed; however, the
retention and encapsulation efciencies were generally
