The invention relates to a method for producing particles with pore structures, by means of a hybrid process of atomization via drying-cooling, from a water-in-oil-type emulsion of a composition of a non-solubilized and in melt state matrix. The production method comprises: i) forming a water-in-oil-type emulsion consisting of a composition of a solvent that is aqueous or soluble in water (dispersed phase) and a composition of a non-solubilized and in melt state matrix (continuous phase); ii) forming discrete particles from the emulsion via atomization, using a flow of gas at high pressure and temperature; iii) immediately removing the solvent via evaporation; and iv) subsequently cooling the formed discrete particles, resulting in porous particles that are substantially free from solvents.

A method is for generation of capsules containing hydrophobic substances, in particular oily substances, such as essential oils. The capsules are coated with a film of calcium alginate by preparing an aqueous solution of non-calcium alginate and pumping the hydrophobic substance to be encapsulated and the aqueous solution through concentric tubes to produce drops that are introduced into an aqueous solution containing calcium solutions.
