Microcapsule system is one of the novel drug delivery system found applications in many areas of science and technology. Microencapsulation technology is an innovator in the encapsulation science. This technology forms a basis for the development of various micro and nano drug loaded capsules. This review paper will address the detail about the microencapsulation technology, commonly used microencapsulation methods in the formulation of microcapsules, their advantages and disadvantages and its wider applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agricultural industry, food technologies and textiles industry. This paper also described about the evaluation techniques, release mechanism of microcapsules and also the recent development in the drug loaded microcapsules.
