The possible nomenclature of encapsulated products.

The field of encapsulation is being explored widely and new information is not uncommon. However, the basic principles remain the same. Highlighting the importance of the variables in encapsulated products could help improve them for different applications. A separate nomenclature for encapsulated products would not only highlight important variables for producing better encapsulated products but might be helpful from their marketing point-of-view. Nomenclature of encapsulated products has potential in the production, properties, applications, economy, etc. of the final product. It could also help the general public understand more about what they are purchasing, and choose between options claiming the same or similar properties. The nomenclature proposed here is based on four variables (size, wall material, active ingredients and techniques for developing the encapsulated product) employed in the preparation of encapsulated products for different applications.
