Microencapsulation of Eugenol by Gelatin-Sodium Alginate Complex Coacervation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Present study describes microencapsulation of eugenol using gelatin-sodium alginate complex coacervation. The effects of core to coat ratio and drying method on properties of the eugenol microcapsules were investigated. The eugenol microcapsules were evaluated for surface characteristics, micromeritic properties, oil loading and encapsulation efficiency. Eugenol microcapsules possessed good flow properties, thus improved handling. The scanning electron photomicrographs showed globular surface of microcapsules prepared with core: coat ratio1:1.The treatment with dehydrating agent isopropanol lead to shrinking of microcapsule wall with cracks on it. The percent oil loading and encapsulation efficiency increased with increase in core: coat ratio whereas treatment with dehydrating agent resulted in reduction in loading and percent encapsulation efficiency of eugenol microcapsules.

متن کاملEffect of pH on Garlic Oil Encapsulation by Complex Coacervation
Coacervation is known to be true microencapsulation because the core material is completely surrounded by a continuous coating of wall material. Coacervation involves interaction between one or many hydrocolloids, particularly between oppositely charged protein and polysaccharide in the same reaction media [1]. The interaction relies on the charges carried by the biopolymers, pH of the coacerva...
