We prepared zein microcapsules containing glutamine using a solvent evaporation method in reverse multiple emulsion. In the experiment, fatty acids were added to the shell material to give the shell hydrophobicity ; as a result, zein microcapsules containing glutamine were successfully prepared by the microencapsulation method adopted here. It was found possible to change the release rate of the core material by addition of fatty acids. Moreover, it was found that the addition of oleic acid resulted in the strongest hydrophobicity and that the use of palmitic acid had the greatest effect on the content of the core material.
