摘要：

The present invention relates to a process for producing a dispersion of spheres comprising arranged molecular layers encapsulating an aqueous phase. The process comprises admixing a water-dispersible lipid component with the aqueous phase to be encapsulated, the liphophile/hydrophile ratio of the lipid component being such that the lipid swells in the said aqueous phase so as to form a lamellar phase. The lamellar phase is agitated and there is added thereto a dispersion liquid in an amount greater than the resulting lamellar phase and the resulting mixture is vigorously agitated for a period of time ranging from 15 minutes to 3-4 hours. The spheres can encapsulate a water-soluble pharmaceutical, a cosmetic or a food and the dispersions containing said encapsulated materials can be used particularly in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.
