encapsulation of olive oil is an effective method to protect it against environmental deteriorative factors. in this research, olive oil microcapsules were produced by complex coacervation method. the objective was to examine the effect of gelatin and arabic gum as shell materials, lactose as cryprotectant, and different acidification times on microencapsulation efficiency of olive oil. arabic ...

The objective of this work is to develop a novel coacervation process to produce microcapsules of polylactide (PLA) to encapsulate thyme oil that will be used in cosmetics. The novelty of this approach consists of dissolving PLA in dimethylformamide (DMF) which is a good solvent for PLA but in addition has high solubility in water. Upon contact with water, the homogeneous solution of PLA in DMF...

Selective phase separation with polyelectrolytes can be used to separate a mixture of proteins. The efficiency of separation was examined using the cationic polyelectrolyte poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and the model proteins bovine serum albumin, â-lactoglobulin, γ-globulin, and ribonuclease A. The coacervation yield for individual proteins and the degree of separation, for selected p...
