چکیده

Lemongrass oil and d-limonene are typical flavor oils used in the food and cosmetic industries. Lemongrass oil displays some therapeutic properties such as analgesic, antimicrobial, fungicidal, deodorant, etc. Citral, the main active component of lemongrass oil, consists of a mixture of two isomeric acyclic monoterpene aldehydes: geranial and neral. Molecular encapsulation of these flavors was investigated by spray drying. Cyclodextrin (CD) and modified starch were used as encapsulants that made up the wall material of the spray-dried powders. CD can control flavor release rate and protect the encapsulated flavor from volatilization by the formation of inclusion complex. CD content in the wall material affected the morphology, flavor retention, and flavor stability of the spray-dried powders. d-Limonene and citral in lemongrass oil encapsulated within the matrix of CD were the most stable. However, the retention of dlimonene and citral was the highest in their respective wall materials of pure modified starch and highly branched cluster dextrin (HBCD). Microscopy of the spray-dried powders revealed that hollow structure of the powders was influenced by the content of cyclodextrin in the wall material. The inclusion complexation ability of β-CD could possibly remedy the inefficiency of Capsul in protecting the encapsulated citral against oxidation over time due to its “leaky” structure.

Release characteristics of flavor from spray-dried powder in boiling water and during rice cooking.

The release characteristics of flavor in boiling water and the flavor retention in the rice after cooking were investigated by using spray dried powder in encapsulated in or emulsified with d-limonene or ethyl n-hexanoate in cyclodextrin and maltodextrin, or in gum arabic and maltodextrin. The behavior of flavor release into the boiling water was well simulated by Avrami's equation. The retenti...

The effect of proportion of maltodextrin and gum arabic as carrier material and the percentage of nutmeg essential oil as flavor load on microencapsulation by spray drying was studied. The proportions of 0, 20, 40 and 60 percent gum arabic (w/w) in the carrier blend and 10, 20 and 30 percent nutmeg oil (w/w) as flavor load were studied. Emulsions were microencapsulated in a vertical co-current ...
