Given the above, the objective of this study was to microencapsulate Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 using complex
coacervation followed by freeze-drying, then characterize the particles and evaluate the viability and stability of the encapsulated culture during storage.
Recent scientific studies have shown the importance and the effect of microencapsulation by complex
coacervation on the controlled availability of propolis extract (NORI et al., 2011) and oral drug celecoxib (CHENG et al., 2010).

Chemical methods tend to be preferred for non-solid core materials and include
coacervation and sol-gel approaches.
Several techniques for manufacturing microspheres have been developed, such as electrospray drying [14, 15], solvent evaporation [16-18], emulsion crosslinking [19, 20], ionic gelation technique [21], direct dispersion method [22], microfluidic channels [23], supercritical carbon dioxide [24],
coacervation method [25], and free radical emulsion polymerization [26].
Combined
coacervation method was used to produce omega-3 nanocapsules.
Techniques including spray drying, melt extrusion,
coacervation, and aqueous emulsions have been used to generate fragrance-containing microparticles.
