Sonochemically-produced proteinaceous microspheres

The field of microencapsulation has found increasing application since its industrial debut in carbonless copying paper some fifty years ago. Microencapsulated materials are found in a wide variety of technical, agricultural, food, and household products. There have been many methods developed for microencapsulation: from reverse-phase evaporation into liposomes to coacervation into polymeric microspheres. Previously, Suslick and coworkers have used high-intensity ultrasound to generate nonaqueous-filled serum albumin microspheres. The mechanism involved the oxidation of cysteine residues by sonochemically generated superoxide to form disulfide bonds.
