Table 3.

The following table illustrates the results of the three-level factorial design that has been studied for optimization of hydration conditions; the factors were: The volume of the hydrating medium and the time for hydration, and the response is their effect on the % of the entrapment efficiency.

Std Order	Formulas	The Volume of Hydrating Medium	Time for Hydration	%Entrapment Efficiency
1	FM 1	10 mL	5 min	84 ± 0.66
2	FM 2	10 mL	30 min	84 ± 0.75
3	FM 3	10 mL	60 min	82 ± 0.28
4	FM 4	15 mL	5 min	82 ± 0.29
5	FM 5	15 mL	30 min	78 ± 0.66
6	FM 6	15 mL	60 min	74 ± 0.74
7	FM 7	20 mL	5 min	81 ± 0.94
8	FM 8	20 mL	30 min	78 ± 0.61
9	FM 9	20 mL	60 min	73 ± 0.31
