The purpose of this study was to prepare fish oil capsules using Cyclodextrin and whey protein concentrate. γ-cyclodextrin was more effective than β-cyclodextrin in enhancing emulsion stability and encapsulation efficiency. Mixing a larger amount of γ-cyclodextrin with a smaller amount of whey protein concentrate caused smaller particles to be produced. The initial γ-cyclodextrin: whey protein concentrate : xanthan gum ratio was 0.8 : 0.2 : 0.5 this ratio showed 40% loanding capacity and 80% efficiency in the encapsulation of fish oil. In addition, the odor intensity of the encapsulated fish oil was decreased to 30% of its original value.
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.
