Encapsulation Methods and Use in Animal Nutrition

Abstract

Encapsulation is a technology based on coating an active compound with one or more coating material and keeping it in the capsule. Encapsulation is a system can be used for increased stability and bioavailability, protecting the form and controlled secretion to target tissues of bioactive compounds. Coating materials are can be ranged as starch, analogs of starch, proteins, gums, lipids or their mixtures.

From Acidifiers to Intestinal Health Enhancers: How Organic Acids Can Improve Growth Efficiency of Pigs

“…In the last decade, the use of organic acids "protected" using different coating and microencapsulation techniques has become well established. The protection of organic acids is of great interest for the pig nutrition industry because it allows various technological advantages: it improves handling and safety, increases stability, reduces dustiness and corrosiveness problems, and prevents damages due to temperature/pressure during processing, as well as undesirable interactions with other ingredients [120]. Moreover, microencapsulation allows to increase palatability by masking unpleasant smell/taste and, even more importantly, to deliver the ingredients to specific target sites of action inside the animal, providing therefore also "biological" advantages.…”

Acidifiers as Alternatives for Antibiotics Reduction and Gut Health Improvement for Poultry and Swine

“…The inclusion of valeric acid glyceride ester in the broiler dietary can improve the feed conversion ratio, positively impact to the intestinal morphology, increase the density of glucagon-like peptide-2 immunoreactive cells, and significantly reduce the number of birds infected necrotic enteritis [30]. Besides, owing to the advantages of today's modern technologies, especially encapsulation technology, which has been widely employed across various scientific fields, including animal nutrition, it effectively overcomes the limitations of conventional feeding methods [31,32]. Coated organic acids with encapsulated nano/micro materials led to an increase in the stability, bioavailability, and their activity.…”

Review: Penambahan Mikroenkapsulasi Minyak Ikan Pada Pakan Sebagai Inovasi Enrichment Feed Untuk Meningkatkan Produktivitas Unggas

“…Komponen bahan penyalut yang bisanya digunakan dalam metode spray drying adalah maltodekstrin, gum arabic, dan pati. Polisakarida seperti alginat, gum, dan protein seperti natrium kaseinat, protein kedelai, dan protein whey juga dapat digunakan dalam proses enkapsulasi (Temiz & Öztürk, 2018). Proses mikroenkapsulasi dengan menggunakan teknik spray drying terdiri dari dua tahapan yang pertama adalah proses emulsifikasi dan kedua adalah atomisasi.…”
