Microencapsulation of phenolic compounds extracted from sour cherry pomace: effect of formulation, ultrasonication time and core to coating ratio

2012-10-01
Sour cherries (Prunus cerasus L.) contain phenolic compounds that decrease the proclivity to several chronic diseases such as types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of different coating materials, ultrasonication time and core to coating ratio on encapsulation of phenolic compounds extracted from sour cherry pomace. For this study, maltodextrin and gum arabic were chosen as coating materials. Different maltodextrin/gum arabic ratios (10:0, 8:2, 6:4) (total solid content 10 %) and two different core to coating ratios (1:10 and 1:20) were used. Emulsions were prepared using ultrasonication at 160 W power and 20 kHz frequency for different time periods (5-30 min). Then the emulsions were freeze-dried for 48 h to obtain the microcapsules. Encapsulation efficiency, surface morphology, particle size, antioxidant activity and color of microcapsules were determined. The microcapsules having core to coating ratio of 1:20 were found to have smaller particle sizes and higher encapsulation efficiencies (78-92 %) than those with a core to coating ratio of 1:10 (encapsulation efficiency 70-85 %). Increasing gum arabic ratio in the coating material increased encapsulation efficiency. Capsules prepared by sonication for 20 min and with a core to coating ratio of 1:20 can be selected as the best conditions for encapsulation of phenolic compounds from sour cherry pomace.

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...

Therapeutic effects of several medicinal plants and vegetables, which are commonly used as food and in folk medicine against many disease, are well known. Antioxidant capacities of Heracleum persicum Desf., Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl., Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss. species from Apiaceae family were evaluated by determining their effects on DPPH radical scavenging, and lipid peroxidation inhibition, as well as their total phenolic contents. Potential natural glutathione-S-transferase inhibitors have gain...

The consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants are known to be associated with a long life span and low incidence of oxidative stress related diseases such as Alzheimer̕s, Parkinson̕s, cancer, aging and cardiovascular diseases. Fitotherapeutic effects of medicinal plants is virtually attributable to their phenolic compounds with low cytotoxicity. In this study, plants used in Anatolian folk medicine for their effects such as antiinflammatory, antiulcer, antipyretic, fertility, analgesic a...
