Please did anyone work on microencapsulation of ammonium phosphate in sodium alginate and gelatin? I am making microcapsules and use shell/core ratio 1 . Alginate 1.4% , gelatin 1% and ammonium phosphate 2.4% but the microencapsulation yield of microcapsules was poor 15% .. And when I increased shell/core ratio to 2 the microcapsules were inhered with each other and formed big aggregations because of alginate and film of alginate contain microcapsules was formed.. how can I increase the yield without having a film of alginate?

I think you can decrease the concentration of alginate in the solution, so you can decrease the thickness of the film.
