Researchers from TUL have enclosed the effect of bees' work in a capsule. They produced innovative honey microcapsules using natural biopolymers. The innovative method used for the first time in the world allowed to limit losses of bioactive compounds in honey, which are the result of destructive action of gastric juice and digestive enzymes. In vitro studies have shown the extensive health-promoting effects of the developed microcapsules.
