Spontaneous microencapsulation of geraniol by zein

Geraniol was successfully micro-encapsulated with zein in a one-step phase separation process in which the zein and geraniol were both initially dissolved in a water-ethanol mixture. Microcapsules were only formed at geraniol-to-zein mass ratios above unity. This is ascribed to the relative solubili...
