Microencapsulation of extra‐virgin olive oil by spray‐drying: Influence of wall material and olive quality

Abstract

Encapsulation is a process by which small particles of core products are packaged within a wall material to form microcapsules. One common technique to produce encapsulated products is spray-drying which involves the conversion of liquid oils in the form of an emulsion into dry powders. Emulsification conditions, wall components, and spray-drying parameters have been optimized for the microencapsulation of different extra-virgin olive oils. To achieve this goal, the influences of emulsion conditions have been evaluated for different wall components such as proteins (sodium caseinate and gelatin), hydrocolloids (Arabic gum), and hydrolyzed starches (starch, lactose, and maltodextrin). In addition, for each of the tested conditions the ratio of wall solid-to-oil and spraydrying parameters were as well optimized.The microencapsulation effectiveness was determined based on process yield and the ratio between free and encapsulated oil (microencapsulation efficiency). Highest encapsulation yields were achieved when gelatin, Arabic gum and maltodextrin and sodium caseinate and maltodextrin were used as encapsulation agents and the ratio of wall solid-to-oil was 1:4 and 1:2, respectively. Under these conditions, 53% of oil was encapsulated. The influence of olive oil quality in the microencapsulation process was evaluated in terms of fatty acids profile alteration after the microencapsulation process.

“…Furthermore, the monosaturated fatty acids (SFAs) were more stable during the spray-drying process as comparison with PUFAs. Similar results were reported by Calvo et al (2010), who found that, the fatty acid profile of olive oil was unaltered during the microencapsulation process. After the accelerated oxidation experiments, the contents of saturated and monosaturated fatty acids increased, whereas the content of PUFAs decreased.…”

Characterization Microencapsul Pepton from Spoiled By Catch Fish Using Spray Drying Methods

“…Formulasi mikroenkapsulat pepton dilakukan dengan mengacu pada metode Calvo et al (2010) pepton cair dan bahan penyalut maltodekstrin dicampurkan dengan perbandingan 1:3. Maltodekstrin dengan konsentrasi 1%, 2%, 3% dihomogenisasi dengan pepton cair menggunakan homogenizer dengan kecepatan 22.000 rpm dengan waktu 5 menit, 10 menit, dan 15 menit.…”

Preservation of Bioactive Compound via Microencapsulation

“…Moreover, not all encapsulating agents are meet all the properties needed, so the modified encapsulating agents by combination with other coating materials such as oxygen scavengers, antioxidants, chelating agents and surfactant are required. 16 The most popular encapsulation agents used in microencapsulation by spray drying are gum arabic, maltodextrin and chitosan. This is due to a high encapsulation efficiency of some oils extracted (53%).…”
