Abstract: In recent years, the in vivo and in vitro digestibility of microcapsules is one of the major focuses in the field of microcapsule research. The digestibility of microcapsules in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract is summarized and analyzed as well as the effects of wall materials, microencapsulation methods and other factors on the release rate and bioavailability of the core material. Future prospects for the development and application of microcapsules are discussed. This review hopes to provide a useful basis for the research and industrial production of microcapsules as functional food ingredients.

Key words: microcapsules, digestion, release rate, bioavailability
