Production and characterization of nanocapsules encapsulated linalool by ionic gelation method using chitosan as wall material

Abstract

Linalool has been extensively applied in various fields, such as flavoring agent, perfumes, cosmetics and medical science. However, linalool is unstable, volatile and readily oxidizable. A sensitive substance can be encapsulated in a capsule, so encapsulation technology can solve these problems. In this paper, linalool-loaded nanocapsules (Lin-nanocapsules) were prepared via the ionic gelation method and Lin-nanocapsules were characterized. The results of Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that linalool was successfully encapsulated in the wall materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results demonstrated that the shapes of Lin-nanocapsules, with smooth surfaces, were nearly spherical. Lin-nanocapsule average particle size was 352 nm and its polydispersity index (PDI) was proved to be 0.214 by the results of dynamic light scattering (DLC). Thermogravimetric results indicated that linalool loading capacity (LC) was 15.17%, and encapsulation could decrease linalool release and increase linalool retaining time under the high temperature. Oscillatory shear and steady-state shear measurements of Lin-nanocapsule emulsions were systematically investigated. The results of steady-state shear showed that Lin-nanocapsule emulsion, which was Newtonian only for high shear rate, was non-Newtonian. It was proved by oscillatory shear that when oscillation frequency changed from low to high, Lin-nanocapsules emulsion changed from viscous into elastic.Keywords: lin-nanocapsules; flavor; encapsulation; rheology.Practical Application: Lin-nanocapsules were prepared via the ionic gelation method.

“…The red curve shows the FTIR spectrum of P. hispidinervum EO. Due to CC, CO, C%bond;H and OH stretching vibrations, the peaks at 992, 1448, 3072 and 3531 cm −1 respectively represent the general bands of linalool . The light blue curve shows the FTIR spectrum of the unloaded nanoparticles.…”

Effect of added prebiotic (Isomalto-oligosaccharide) and Coating of Beads on the Survival of Microencapsulated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG

“…The materials encapsulated in the internal of capsule is known as core, while the wall is known as shell or coating (Suganya & Anuradha, 2017). This technique has been successfully protect the active ingredient such as red beet extract, grape seed oil, and linalool under unfavourable conditions (Antigo et al, 2018;Böger et al, 2018;Xiao et al 2017).…”

Encapsulation and controlled release of fragrances from functionalized porous metal–organic frameworks

“…Fragrances are commonly applied in the textile, leather, papermaking, cosmetics, agriculture, and other industries, owing to their benefits such as pleasant aroma, antibacterial activity, sedative effect, and therapeutic functions . The stable and long‐lasting perception of fragrant molecules is essential for improving customers' experience and enhancing beneficial effects.…”
