MUMBAI, India, Jan. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102418 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 24, 2025, for 'method for electrostatic encapsulation of sensitive bioactive ingredients for enhanced stability and controlled delivery.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Polu Picheswara Rao; and Dr. Shubham Mishra.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method for electrostatic encapsulation of sensitive bioactive ingredients is disclosed, enabling ambient-temperature formation of micro- or nano-capsules with uniform shell thickness and tunable barrier properties. Bioactives, including vitamins, enzymes, probiotics, and essential oils, are suspended in a carrier solvent and introduced into an electrostatic field within a chamber. Shell-forming materials, such as alginate, chitosan, pectin, carrageenan, or whey protein, are dispensed with opposite charge to coat the droplets instantaneously. The method preserves ingredient potency, prevents degradation from heat, oxygen, and moisture, and provides customizable release profiles, including time-delayed and targeted delivery. Capsules exhibit high monodispersity, reproducible quality, and extended shelf-life. The process is compatible with industrial-scale production lines and supports safe, efficient, and scalable manufacturing of supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceuticals, offering significant improvements over conventional encapsulation technologies."
