ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigative the in vitro release of propolis from gelatin microparticles. Gelatin microparticles containing porpolis extractive solution (PES) were prepared by spray-drying technique. Microparticles with a mean diameter of 2.50 µm and with regular morphology were obtained. The entrapment efficiency of propolis in the microparticles was over 39%. Spray-drying showed to be a feasible method for the preparation of gelatin microparticles containing propolis. Comparing to PES, the in vitro release of propolis from gelatin microparticles in aqueous medium was slower, considering markes 1 and 2. Thus, it was possible to transform a liquid propolis dosage form into a solid one, improving manipulation, packaging and storage and with modified release in aqueous medium, comparatively to the ethanolic extract of the drug
