| Abstract | Although spray drying is a scalable route for particle formation with easy product recovery, a typical spray drier produces broad distributions of particles with various morphologies in a single batch, due to the non-uniform formation of droplets, wide spray trajectories, and various residence times experienced by the droplets during drying. Thus any attempt to interpret the resulting particle functionality directly in relation to their physico-chemical properties is difficult. Here, uniform silica-based microencapsulates encapsulating vitamin B12 homogenously distributed within their matrix were synthesised in a single step via a micro-fluidic-jet-spray-dryer (MFJSD), utilising a micro-fluidic-aerosol-nozzle (MFAN) for continuous generation of monodisperse droplets. We investigated the effects of lactose and Na-alginate to the properties of the silica matrix, as well as the overall particle shapes. The uniform nature of the particles allowed direct correlations between the matrix properties and the release behaviour of vitamin B12 to be observed without the complications of wide size distribution or variety of shapes. Spherical particles with relatively smooth surface were obtained with lactose addition, while incorporation of Na-alginate resulted in increasing surface roughness. Lactose accelerated the release of the encapsulated vitamin B12 (VB12), due to the relatively fast lactose dissolution that allowed buffer to penetrate deep into the matrix to facilitate diffusion and silica erosion. On the contrary, Na-alginate slowed down the release considerably by serving as an additional barrier to decelerate the matrix erosion, as well as due to ionic attraction to the VB12 molecules. Release kinetics data indicated diffusion as the main release mechanism independent of the microencapsulate composition. The release profiles from different compositions of the synthesized particles demonstrated good agreements with the computational predictions, highlighting the ability to modulate the release behaviour directly from the precursor compositions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
