Wheat germ oil is a rich source of omega 3 and omega 6, octacosanol and tocopherol which has vitamin E activity. Due to these properties it is beneficial for health but it is prone to oxidation in free form. The aim of this study was to encapsulate wheat germ oil in micron size and determine the best encapsulation conditions by analysing encapsulation efficiency, particle size distribution and surface morphology of the capsules. The effects of core to coating ratio, coating materials ratio and ultrasonication time on encapsulation of wheat germ oil were investigated. Maltodextrin (MD) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) at different ratios (3:1, 2:2, 1:3) were used as coating materials. Total solid content of all samples was 40% (w/w). Five different core to coating ratios (1:8, 1:4, 2:4, 3:4, 4:4) were experimented. Ultrasound was used at 320 W and 20 kHz frequency for three different times (2, 5, 10 min). Prepared emulsions were frozen and then freeze dried for 48 hours to obtain microcapsules. Encapsulation efficiency analysis, particle size analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were performed. Increasing WPC content in coating led to an increase in encapsulation efficiency. Microcapsules prepared with MD:WPC ratio of 1:3 were found to have higher encapsulation efficiencies (65.62%-89.62%) than the other ratios. Increase in oil load led to decrease in encapsulation efficiency thus 1:8 core to coating ratio gave better results. The best conditions for microcapsules were determined as ultrasonication time 10 min, core to coating ratio of 1:8 and MD:WPC ratio 1:3.

Enhancement of storage stability of wheat germ oil by encapsulation Karadeniz, Meltem; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2015) Wheat germ oil is a rich source of omega 3 and omega 6-fatty acids, octacosanol and tocopherol which has vitamin E activity. Due to these properties it is very beneficial for health but it is prone to oxidation in free form. Encapsulation provides protection of food ingredients from environmental stresses and increases the stability and functionality of the ingredient, which makes it possible to be used in functional foods. The main objective of this study was to encapsulate wheat germ oil and to investigat...
Microencapsulation of wheat germ oil Yazicioglu, Basak; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2015-06-01) Wheat germ oil (WGO) is beneficial for health since it is a rich source of omega-3, omega-6 and tocopherol. However, as it contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, it is prone to oxidation. The aim of this study was to encapsulate wheat germ oil and determine the effects of core to coating ratio, coating materials ratio and ultrasonication time on particle size distribution of emulsions and encapsulation efficiency (EE) and surface morphology of capsules. Maltodextrin (MD) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) at...
Enhancement of storage stability of wheat germ oil by encapsulation KARADENIZ, Meltem; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2018-04-01) Wheat germ oil which is a rich source of a-tocopherol is susceptible to oxidation. The main objective of this study was to encapsulate wheat germ oil to enhance its oxidation stability. It was also aimed to investigate the effects of different homogenization methods on physicochemical properties and storage stability of encapsulated wheat germ oil. As homogenization methods, silent crusher (SC), microfluidization (MF) and ultrasonication (US) were used. SC and MF techniques created more stable emulsions tha...
Encapsulation of pea protein in an alginate matrix by cold set gelation method and use of the capsules in fruit juices Narin, Ceren; Ertuğrul, Ülkü; Taş, Ozan; Şahin, Serpil; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Wiley, 2020-09-01) Plant-based proteins gained importance in recent years due to the increase in the awareness of healthy diet and in the consumption of plant-based foods. However, some features of plant-based proteins like the undesirable odor and flavor affect the sensorial properties of protein containing foods. Therefore, encapsulation of these proteins could be a good strategy to tackle with this problem. The objective of this study was to design microcapsules (beads) consisting of pea protein by using sodium alginate an...
Encapsulation of rosemary essential oil Turasan, Hazal; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2015-11-01) Encapsulation protects sensitive food ingredients against oxygen, heat, moisture, pH and it masks the unwanted taste of nutrients. The objective of the study was to encapsulate the rosemary essential oil in micron size and to find the optimum coating material formulation by investigating the physicochemical properties and storage stability of microcapsules. In the capsule preparation two different ratios of whey protein concentrate (WP) and maltodextrin (MD) (1:3 and 3:1), three different core to coating ra...
