A delivery vehicle with a core surrounded by a digestible polymer shell having a melting and/or softening point above the body temperature of an animal or human, and where the core has a lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredient dispersed in a continuous polymer matrix. The delivery vehicle can be used to release lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredients, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, supplements, traditional/herbal medicine, or combinations thereof, after a predetermined lag time following ingestion.

Delivery system comprising a core and a digestible polymer shell

A delivery vehicle comprising a core () surrounded by a digestible polymer shell () having a melting and/or softening point above the body temperature of an animal or human, wherein said core comprises a lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredient () dispersed in a continuous polymer matrix (). The delivery vehicle can be used to release lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredients, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, supplements, traditional/herbal medicine, or combinations thereof, after a predetermined lag time following ingestion.

The present invention concerns an oil-in-water emulsion wherein the oil droplets of a diameter in the range of 5 nm to hundreds of micrometers exhibit a nano-sized self-assembled structurization with hydrophilic domains having a diameter size in the range of 0.5 to 200 nm, due to the presence of a lipophilic additive and the oil-in-water emulsion contains an active element being present in the range comprised between 0.00001 and 79% based on the total composition.
