“…Amorphous materials are known to be hygroscopic and more soluble than crystalline materials which are desired in the encapsulation process due to the formation of amorphous glass matrix (Drusch, Serfert, Van Den Heuvel, & Schwarz, ). Generally, powders containing amorphous components may hydrate faster, since the bonds between the molecules are weaker than in the crystalline state (Botrel, Rodrigues, De Souza, & Fernandes, ). Spray‐drying process results in dried materials with amorphous structure (Nežić, Sander, Meštrović, & Čavužić, 2019).…”

Different types of nanoscale components are being tested in the food microencapsulation process, in order to ensure better barrier properties. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the properties of spray‐dried microparticles containing sweet orange essential oil produced using gum Arabic and maltodextrin as wall materials incorporated with cellulose nanofibrils. Therefore, both cellulose nanofibrils (morphology) and microparticles (load capacity, moisture adsorption isotherms, X‐ray diffractometry, thermogravimetry, and morphology) were characterized. The treatments containing gum Arabic and cellulose nanofibrils showed better results regarding load capacity (17% w/w). The moisture adsorption isotherms showed that replacing gum Arabic by maltodextrin the equilibrium moisture of the microparticles with and without cellulose nanofibrils were decreased. The presence of cellulose nanofibrils increased the thermal stability of the microcapsules, while higher maltodextrin concentration decreased thermal stability. The microparticles had spherical morphology and roughened surface for all treatments. Therefore, cellulose nanofibrils have potential use for application in the spray‐drying process. Practical applications With the development of new technologies, there is great potential for encapsulation of blended polymeric formulations with an innovative approach in presence of nanoscale components. Cellulose nanofibrils offer structural and mechanical properties and act as a thickener and a physical barrier allowing stabilization of the interface oil/water, what contributes to the improvement of the properties of the essential oil microparticles.

Annona crassiflora Mart. presents medicinal and food potential, and is also used in the recovery of degraded areas, however, little is known about its nutritional requirements. The aim of this work was to analyze the initial growth of A. crassiflora submitted to nitrogen and potassium fertilization. The experiment was conducted with a complete randomized block design with four replicates, each consisting of five nitrogen and potassium doses (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg dm-3). Results were submitted to regression analysis. The species showed significant response for nitrogen fertilization regarding biometric variables, biomass, DQI and nutritional contents at doses of 100 to 200 mg dm-3. On the other hand, potassium only influenced DQI, nutritional content and accumulation of A. crassiflora seedlings.

“…Inulin is another promising material for use in encapsulation. This polymer belongs to the group of fructans composed mostly of β(2-1) linked fructosyl-fructose units wherein each fructose chain is generally terminated with an α(2-1) linked glucose moiety [80][81][82]. The chain lengths of these fructans range from 2 to 60 units, with an average DP of 12.…”

“…The main applications of inulin are related to its technological properties, such as a substitute for sugars and fats in low-calorie foods, as a thickener, emulsifier, and gelling agent, and it may constitute a potential auxiliary agent for drying processes [80,84]. In the field of bioactives encapsulation, the use of inulin as wall material enables its health benefits to be harnessed, and at the same time it allows the release of bioactive compounds in the colon due to its resistance to pH variations in the gastrointestinal tract [23,90].…”

Advances in the Application of Microcapsules as Carriers of Functional Compounds for Food Products

2019

Natural bioactive compounds and living cells have been reported as promising products with beneficial properties to human health. The constant challenge regarding the use of these components is their easy degradation during processing and storage. However, their stability can be improved with the microencapsulation process, in which a compound sensitive to adverse environmental conditions is retained within a protective polymeric material. Microencapsulation is a widely used methodology for the preservation and stabilization of functional compounds for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. The present review discusses advances in the production and application of microcapsules loaded with functional compounds in food products. The main methods for producing microcapsules, as well as the classes of functional compounds and wall materials used, are presented. Additionally, the release of compounds from loaded microcapsules in food matrices and in simulated gastrointestinal conditions is also assessed.
