Size Matters: Great Things Come in Tiny PackagesIf less truly is more, then Mies van der Rohe and Barry Green would both be proud. Mies van der Rohe is widely credited for coining the phrase he exemplified in his architecture, while Barry Green first discovered microencapsulation when working for the National Cash Register Company. Microencapsulation technology is widely gaining acceptance in agrochemicals, consumer care items, textiles, and adhesives and has been used in copy paper and elsewhere for decades.

| Hidden ingredients take cover in a capsuleAs consumers increasingly turn to foods as sources of health, processors are trying to cram in as many healthful ingredients as possible. Unfortunately, vitamins, minerals and other nutritive ingredients are not known for their pleasant tastes. But precision microencapsulation technologies can mask the taste or color of nutrients, mitigate nutrient loss during processing and generally help processors create foods with added value. |

formulation, but it can also provide a point of differentiation for products too.
