Abstract:Microencapsulation of biological control agents by spray drying (SD) has been studied as a method for increasing product shelf life and stability to enable the application of microencapsulated agents in sustainable agriculture. In this study, the microencapsulation of Trichoderma asperellum conidia by spray drying was evaluated. The objective was to assess the influence of drying air temperature and wall material (maltodextrin DE20, MD20) concentration on the microencapsulation of Trichoderma asperellum conidi… Show more
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.
