Leaflash spray drying technique was used to encapsulate a mixture of two volatile products, citral and linalyl acetate in the proportion of 80:20 (w/w). The support materials were gum arabic and maltodextrin in different proportions. Very short air product contact time during the drying process allowed encapsulation of these compounds using high inlet air temperature (300-4OO"C) without any adverse effect on chemical properties. Emulsions were atomized up to 60% total solids concentration. In this range of concentration, substitution of gum arabic by a less costly maltodextrin was possible achieving 84% volatiles retention. The technique could be efficiently used to encapsulate sensitive flavors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
