Table 2

Mean diameter of formulation 6 moist microcapsules, lyophilized and rehydrated by different periods.

Condition of the capsules	Mean diameter (µm)
Lyophilized	30.82±7.56^c
Moist (before lyophilization)	48.32±10.95^a
Rehydrated for 5 min	44.14±14.53^b
Rehydrated for 1 hour	47.92±12.95^a
Rehydrated for 24 hours	47.84±12.17^a
