Why does this page have nothing on lipospheric encapsulation which is not only so common but increasingly popular with laymen? Would be great to have it added. Here's a review paper I found that talks about various lipo versions: http://www.ifrj.upm.edu.my/afjv14(1)2007/1-14.pdf ASEAN Food Journal 14 (1): 1-14 (2007) user:palyne

Methods / Terms I Encountered

 * I encountered these while looking into Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (which i dove into looking for Industrial (Applications of) Chromatography (Seems Simulated Moving Bed Chromatography is the term for that) )
 * Wurster (Process) Coating / "Wurster Fluid Bed Coating" / "Wurster Fluid Bed Micro-encapsulation" etc
 * This is basically a Spouted Fluidized Bed / Spouted Bed / Spouted Bed Reactor (Whichever term gets a page first), that uses a gas to fluidize the material, but also has a spray nozzle that sprays the coating material on the particles as they pass by
 * "Top Spray" Process
 * This is a more conventional Fluidized Bed ("Bubbling Fluidized Bed" may be the term, although it may be more violent than that?) (it may also be able to utilize the spouted kind, but i feel in that case the wurster process is basically there already and seems superior so i doubt this is done?) with sprayers near the top of the unit spraying down at the particles being fluidized
 * I just thought i'd document this here in case it helps anyone else working on this / in case i come back later and write pages on this
