Encapsulation protects sensitive food ingredients against oxygen, heat, moisture and pH until they are released to the system. In addition, it can mask the unwanted taste of nutrients that are added to the foods for fortification purposes. The studies about encapsulation of essential oils in micro or nano-size are very much limited. 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 wall material preparation two different ratios of maltodextrin (MD) and whey protein concentrate (WP) were used (3:1 and 1:3). The emulsions were prepared with four different core to coating ratios (1:80, 1:40, 1:20 and 1:10) and two different dextrose equivalent (DE) maltodextrins (DE:13-17 and DE:4-7). Freeze dried capsules were analyzed for their drying efficiencies, encapsulation efficiencies, surface morphologies and particle size distributions. In addition, concentrations of 1,8-cineole were determined during storage. vi Increasing WP:MD ratio was found to increase both drying and encapsulation efficiencies. Also, capsules having core to coating ratio of 1:20 gave the highest drying and encapsulation efficiency. Maltodextrin with DE:13-17 was proven to have better encapsulating properties than maltodextrin with DE:4-7. Changing DE value of MD did not have any significant effect on particle size distributions and surface morphologies of the capsules. Although maltodextrin with DE value of 4-7 provided better storage stability to the capsules for the first 30 days of storage, percent retention of 1,8-cineole in these capsules were similar to the capsules containing maltodextrin with DE value of 13-17 at the end of 40 days of storage.

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...
Effect of ultrasound and high hydrostatic pressure (hhp) on liquefaction and quality parameters of selected honey varieties. Basmacı, İpek; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2010) Heat treatment (around 50°C) is a major step in honey filling and packaging that is applied before filtration to decrease viscosity, reduce the moisture level, to destroy yeasts, liquefy crystals and delay crystallization. As a result, formation of Hydroxy Methyl Furfural (HMF), decrease in enzymatic activity, color deterioration, decrease in viscosity and many other structural changes are observed. HMF is produced as a result of Maillard reaction and/or hexose dehydration -which is undesirable-, practicall...
Removal of boron from aqueous solutions by continuous polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration with polyvinyl alcohol Dilek, C; Ozbelge, HO; Bicak, N; Yılmaz, Levent (2002-01-01) Boron is a highly contaminating metal due to its toxic effects for plants even at very low concentrations. Continuous polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) was applied for removal of boron from aqueous solutions. The effects of operating parameters on the performance of PEUF were investigated. A commercial polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as the boron-complexing agent. The methodology consists of two steps: complexing boron with PVA following separation of boron and polymer complexes by ultrafilt...
Encapsulation of Caffeic Acid in Carob Bean Flour and Whey Protein-Based Nanofibers via Electrospinning Zeren, Sema; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2022-07-01) The purpose of this study was to introduce caffeic acid (CA) into electrospun nanofibers made of carob flour, whey protein concentrate (WPC), and polyethylene oxide (PEO). The effects of WPC concentration (1% and 3%) and CA additions (1% and 10%) on the characteristics of solutions and nanofibers were investigated. The viscosity and electrical conductivity of the solutions were examined to determine characteristics of solutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON PRODUCED FROM ALMOND SHELL AND HAZELNUT SHELL BALCI, S; Doğu, Timur; YUCEL, H (Wiley, 1994-08-01) Ammonium chloride-impregnated and untreated almond shell and hazelnut shell samples were carbonized in a flow of nitrogen at relatively low temperatures. Pore structure characterization and sorption capacities of activated carbons prepared from shells of almond and hazelnut indicated that treatment with NH4Cl increased the total surface area and improved sorption characteristics. Chemical activation carried out at 350-degrees-C gave products with surface area values above 500 m2 g-1. On the other hand, the ...
