Method for continuously encapsulating or embedding a component in a matrix, comprising: a. mixing at least one plasticizable matrix material that includes a biopolymer with at least one plasticizer and at least one component to control the release rate of an encapsulant, said mixture being performed under low shear conditions to plasticize the plasticizable material without essentially destroying the material or the plasticizable materials and without cooking or gelatinization of the material or the plasticizable materials, in order to obtain an essentially homogeneous plasticized mass, said plasticizable matrix material comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of durum wheat, semolina and starch pregelatinized, said plasticized matrix material comprising a hard wheat flour or pregelatinized starch, the maximum processing temperature ranging between 40 ° C and 100 ° C, and said plasticized mass comprising at least 40% by weight of the matrix material or materials, with respect to to the weight of the prod ucto final； b. mixing at least one encapsulant with said plasticized mass to obtain a conformable mixture, said mixture being carried out under conditions of low shear and low temperature to essentially prevent thermal destruction of said or said encapsulants, said encapsulant consisting of at least one pharmaceutical, nutraceutical component, nutritional, flavoring or a biologically active component and this being present in an amount of 1% by weight to 85% by weight, with respect to the weight of the matrix material or materials； C. extruding said conformable mixture through a nozzle to obtain an extrusion product； and d. Cut the extrusion product into pieces.Método para encapsular o embeber de forma continua un componente en una matriz, que comprende: a. mezclar al menos un material de matriz plastificable que incluye un biopolímero con al menos un plastificante y al menos un componente para controlar la tasa de liberación de un encapsu
