Micronization is a process that reduces the size of particles to the micrometer scale, typically between 1 and 100 microns. This technique is commonly used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics, to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of substances. By creating smaller particles, materials can dissolve more easily and be absorbed more effectively by the body. The micronization process often involves methods such as jet milling or ball milling, which mechanically break down larger particles. This results in a more uniform particle size distribution, improving the performance and stability of products. Micronized materials can lead to better product efficacy and improved sensory attributes in applications like medications and cosmetic formulations.
