PCT No. PCT/FR95/00116 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 27, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 27, 1995 PCT Filed Feb. 1, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/21018 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 10, 1995Microcapsules based on crosslinked plant polyphenols are described. These microcapsules are obtained by the interfacial crosslinking of plant polyphenols, particularly flavonoids. When incorporated in a composition such as a cosmetic, pharmaceutical, dietetic or food composition, these microcapsules make it possible to prevent any impairment of this composition, in particular any color modification, while at the same time preserving the activity, especially the anti-free radical and/or antioxidizing activity, of the plant polyphenols, particularly the flavonoids.
