Abstract
The gelatin/gum arabic microcapsules encapsulating peppermint oil were prepared by complex coacervationusing tannic acid as hardening agent. The effects of various parameters, including concentration of wall material, core material, tannic acid and Tween 80 were investigated on particle size and encapsulation efficiency. For statistical evaluation of the parameters, Taguchi method was concerned. The size of prepared spherical microcapsules was 19-66 micrometers. The results showed that, particle size increased with increasing the core and the wall concentration and decreased with increasing tannic acid and Tween 80 concentraIfd efficiency increased by increasing the core and wall...

Abstract
In this research, we focused on demonstration of features and advantages of supercritical fluids technology to formation of fine particles (nano and micro scales) from bulk materials (solid) and synthesized metal oxides nanoparticles. Therefore, using two different fluids, carbon dioxide and water, and two completely different methods, the Rapid expansion of supercritical solution and supercritical hydrothermal, were used to produce fine particles of drug (acetaminophen) and nano metal oxide (zirconium dioxide and bismuth ferrite). The summary of this research are as follows:1. The solubility of acetaminophen in SuperCritical-Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO2) with and without menthol as a cosolvent...

Abstract
The solubility of acetaminophen in SuperCritical-Carbon Dioxide (SC- CO 2) with and without menthol as a cosolvent was measured at various temperatures (313, 328 and 343) K, and within pressures ranging from (10 to 25) MPa. It should be stated that the cosolvent, menthol, has chiral isomers with different melting points. Therefore, the effects of both menthol (I) with a lower melting point and menthol (II) with a higher melting point, as cosolvents on the solubility of acetaminophen in SC- CO 2, were studied. The experimental data collected in this work were obtained using a static flow apparatus. The experiments were replicated at least three times and the data reported are the average of...
