Abstract
Particles comprising an outer wall formed of one or more saccharide components selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides crosslinked by interfacial crosslinking in emulsion, preferably at room temperature, with a polyfunctional acylating crosslinking agent to produce ester linkages between the acylatable hydroxyl group(s) of the primary alcohol(s) of the saccharide component and the acyl groups of the polyfunctional acylating agent. These particles can be used for the manufacture of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food compositions.
