Do wet calcium alginate microencapsulated particles absorb water during curing in calcium clorua bath?

18 October 2022 1 2K Report

I have a problem with solids recovery (yeild effeciency ) in microencapsulation when the mass of microencapsulated particles is more than the mass of material I use (mass of alginate, calcium chloride, water,.. ..). This makes yeild effeciency greater than 100%.

Thank in advance

Pawandeep Kour

Yes, they do absorb water. That's why, it's yield efficiency is greater than 100%. Once taken out from the bath and keeping at room temperature will dry them out.
