Did you mean encapsulation efficiency?

Glossaryencapsulation efficiency

percentage of substance successfully enclosed within a carrier system

Encapsulation efficiency refers to the percentage of a substance (like a drug or nutrient) that is successfully enclosed within a carrier system, such as a liposome or nanoparticle, compared to the total amount initially used. For example, if you start with 100 milligrams of a drug and 80 milligrams end up inside the carrier, the encapsulation efficiency is 80%. This measure is crucial in fields like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to ensure effective delivery and controlled release of active ingredients.
