Fish oil-loaded multicore submillimeter-sized capsules prepared with monoaxial electrospraying, chitosan-tripolyphosphate ionotropic gelation, and Tween blending.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2024 April 27
In order to load fish oil for potential encapsulation of fat-soluble functional active substances, fish oil-loaded multicore submillimeter-sized capsules were prepared with a combination method of three strategies (monoaxial electrospraying, chitosan-tripolyphosphate ionotropic gelation, and Tween blending). The chitosan-tripolyphosphate/Tween (20, 40, 60, and 80) capsules had smaller and evener fish oil cores than the chitosan-tripolyphosphate capsules, which resulted from that Tween addition induced smaller and evener fish oil droplets in the emulsions. Tween addition decreased the water contents from 56.6 % to 35.0 %-43.4 %, increased the loading capacities from 10.4 % to 12.7 %-17.2 %, and increased encapsulation efficiencies from 97.4 % to 97.8 %-99.1 %. In addition, Tween addition also decreased the highest peroxide values from 417 meq/kg oil to 173-262 meq/kg oil. These properties' changes might result from the structural differences between the chitosan-tripolyphosphate and chitosan-tripolyphosphate/Tween capsules. All the results suggested that the obtained chitosan-tripolyphosphate/Tween capsules are promising carriers for fish oil encapsulation. This work also provided useful knowledge to understand the preparation, structural, and physicochemical properties of the chitosan-tripolyphosphate capsules.
