Described herein is a new process for the preparation of core-shell microcapsules. Also described herein are microcapsules. Also described herein are consumer products including said microcapsules, in particular perfumed consumer products or flavoured consumer products.

Provided is a method for preparing an assembly of integrated capsules, the method comprising the steps of: (i) providing a first body comprising a body reagent, wherein the body reagent is, or is contained within, a body medium; (ii) contacting the first body with a bulk medium comprising a bulk reagent, and permitting a first capsule shell to form at the boundary between the body medium and the bulk medium, thereby providing a first capsule, wherein the shell comprises a product of a reaction involving the body reagent and the bulk reagent; (iii) providing a second body comprising a body reagent, wherein the body reagent is, or is contained within, a body medium; (iv) contacting the second body with a bulk medium comprising a bulk reagent, and permitting a second capsule shell to form at the boundary between the second body medium and the bulk medium, thereby providing a second capsule, wherein the shell comprises a product of a reaction involving the body reagent and the bulk reagent; and (v) permitting the first and second capsule shells to integrate, thereby forming an assembly of first and second bodies. An assembly obtained or obtainable by the method is also provided.

The application relates to a device for producing a dispersion including elements including a first phase, which are dispersed in a continuous phase immiscible with the first phase. The device including at least one production nozzle including a first duct intended to convey a first fluid that forms the first phase, a second duct, coaxially surrounding part of the first duct, able to convey a second fluid that forms the continuous phase, and an outlet. The nozzle is able to form, at the outlet, a fluid jet including the first fluid and the second fluid surrounding the first fluid. The production device additionally includes a fragmentation device for mechanically breaking up the fluid jet, positioned in the vicinity of the outlet of the nozzle, the fragmentation device including a mobile part intended to break up the fluid jet mechanically into a plurality of elements.
