Fabrication and characterization of emulsion-based edible film containing cinnamon essential oil using chia seed mucilage.

Chia seed mucilage (CSM) film incorporated with 2, 4, and 6 % (w/w) nanoemulsion of cinnamon essential oil (CSM-2, CSM-4, CSM-6) were developed, and their physicochemical, mechanical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties were determined. According to the results, cinnamon EO nanoemulsion (CEN) had droplet size 196.07 ± 1.39 nm with PDI 0.47 ± 0.04. Moreover, CSM film had higher water solubility (99.37 ± 0.05 %) and WVP (8.55 ± 1.10 g/kPa h m2) than reinforced CSM films with CENCEN. The lowest water solubility (98.02 ± 0.01 %) and WVP (3.75 ± 0.80 g/kPa h m2) was observed in CSM-6 film. Moreover, the addition of CEN improved the homogeneity and density of films and the smoothness of the surface, being observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy also confirmed the incorporation of CEN within the film matrix. The CSM films' antioxidant (DPPH radical scavenging power) and antimicrobial (against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) properties of CSM films were notably enhanced with the inclusion of CEN in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanical (tensile strength and elongation at break) of CSM films also was affected by the addition of CEN, TS decreased, and EAB increased (p < 0.05). The lowest TS (20.63 ± 1.39 MPa) and highest EAB (3.36 ± 0.61 %) was observed in CSM-4 film. However, CSM film was relatively dark with low opacity, and adding CEN slightly increased lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) parameters. The superior antioxidant and barrier characteristics of the CSM edible film incorporated with CEN make it a potential candidate for product packaging and shelf-life extension.

Extraction of polysaccharide from Althea rosea and its physicochemical, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive and antioxidant properties.

The valorization of new polymer sources from underutilized plants as structuring, encapsulating, and texturizing agents for food and nutraceutical applications is gaining attention. This provides an opportunity where inexpensive plant-sourced biopolymers can play an impactful role, on both ecological and economic aspects performing equivalently effectual yet cost-effective substitutes to synthetic polymers. With this aim, we explored the use of mucilage from Althea rosea and reveal its physicochemical, in vitro antidiabetic and antihypertensive activity. Besides, structural, micrometric, crystallization, and anti-microbial properties was also seen. We determined the probable structure of the extracted mucilage by FTIR which confirmed the residues of saccharides as galactose and uronic acid with α and ß configurations. It consists of 78.26% carbohydrates, 3.51% ashes, and 3.72% proteins. Here, we show that the mucilage offered protection to DNA against the oxidative damage caused by (-OH) radicals and the morphology of the mucilage particles displayed a fibrillary material settled in a net-like, tangled structure. Our results demonstrate that the reconstituted mucilage powder exhibited good water holding capacity (2.89 g water/g mucilage), solubility (27.33%), and oil holding capacity (1.79 g oil/g mucilage). Moreover, high emulsifying property (95.83%) and foaming capacity (17.04%) was noted. Our results indicate that A.rosea mucilage can potentially serve as economical and eco-friendly hydrocolloid substitute for the food and nutraceutical industry owing to its functional, hypo-lipidemic, anti-hyperglycemic, antioxidant, and anti-bacterial properties.

Bioactive Carbohydrate Polymers-Between Myth and Reality.

Polysaccharides are complex macromolecules long regarded as energetic storage resources or as components of plant and fungal cell walls. They have also been described as plant mucilages or microbial exopolysaccharides. The development of glycosciences has led to a partial and difficult deciphering of their other biological functions in living organisms. The objectives of glycobiochemistry and glycobiology are currently to correlate some structural features of polysaccharides with some biological responses in the producing organisms or in another one. In this context, the literature focusing on bioactive polysaccharides has increased exponentially during the last two decades, being sometimes very optimistic for some new applications of bioactive polysaccharides, notably in the medical field. Therefore, this review aims to examine bioactive polysaccharide, taking a critical look of the different biological activities reported by authors and the reality of the market. It focuses also on the chemical, biochemical, enzymatic, and physical modifications of these biopolymers to optimize their potential as bioactive agents.

Nano Milk Protein-Mucilage Complexes: Characterization and Anticancer Effect.

The anticancer activity of natural compounds has recently attracted multidisciplinary research. In this study, the complexation of milk proteins (MP) with Isabgol husk mucilage (IHM) and Ziziphus spina-christi mucilage (NabM) was investigated. In this context, the physicochemical properties of milk protein mucilage complexes (MPMC) including pH, Carr's index, water solubility, and water absorption indices were measured, and the flow behavior was studied. In addition, the amino acid profile, protein digestibility, and phenolic and flavonoids content of MPMC were explored, and the microstructure of the complexes was visualized using transmission electron microscopy. The antioxidant and anticancer potencies of MPMC against two cancerous cell lines, human liver cancer HEPG-2 and breast cancer MCF-7, in comparison with two normal cell lines, namely, Bj-1 and MCF-12F, were tested using neutral red uptake assay. The results revealed that MPMC had scavenging activity against DPPH, ABTS, and HS radicals. Moreover, MPMC has the potential to prevent DNA damage induced by oxidative stress in Type-Fenton's reaction. The results of the neutral red assay showed significant growth inhibition of both HEPG-2, MCF-7, whereas no significant cytotoxic effect was detected against Bj-1 and MCF-12F. RT-qPCR results indicated MPMC stimulated apoptosis as revealed by the upregulation of the pro-apoptosis gene markers Casepase-3, p53, Bax. Meanwhile, the anti-apoptosis Bcl-2 gene was downregulated. However, no significant difference was observed in normal cell lines treated with MPMC. In conclusion, MPMC can be considered as a promising anticancer entity that can be used in the development of novel cancer therapeutics with comparable activity and minimal side effects compared to conventional cancer chemotherapies.

Quince seed mucilage coated iron oxide nanoparticles for plasmid DNA delivery.

This study investigates the potential of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and quince seed mucilage as combined genetic carriers to deliver plasmid DNA (pDNA) through the gastrointestinal system. The samples are characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), zeta potential, dynamic light scattering, FT-IR spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. The stability of pDNA loading on the nanocarriers and their release pattern are evaluated in simulated gastrointestinal environments by electrophoresis. The XRD patterns reveal that the nanocarriers could preserve their structure during various synthesis levels. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of the Fe3O4cores are 56.48 emu g-1without any magnetic hysteresis. Not only does the loaded pDNA contents experience a remarkable stability in the simulated gastric environment, but also, they could be released up to 99% when exposed to an alkaline environment similar to the intestinal fluid of fish. The results indicate that the synthesized nanoparticles could be employed as efficient low-cost pDNA carriers.

3D printing and properties of cellulose nanofibrils-reinforced quince seed mucilage bio-inks.

Plant-based hydrogels have attracted great attention in biomedical fields since they are biocompatible and based on natural, sustainable, cost-effective, and widely accessible sources. Here, we introduced new viscoelastic bio-inks composed of quince seed mucilage and cellulose nanofibrils (QSM/CNF) easily extruded into 3D lattice structures through direct ink writing in ambient conditions. The QSM/CNF inks enabled precise control on printing fidelity where CNF endowed objects with shape stability after freeze-drying and with suitable porosity, water uptake capacity, and mechanical strength. The compressive and elastic moduli of samples produced at the highest CNF content were both increased by ~100% (from 5.1 ± 0.2 kPa and 32 ± 1 kPa to 10.7 ± 0.5 and 64 ± 2 kPa, respectively). These values ideally matched those reported for soft tissues; accordingly, the cell compatibility of the printed samples was evaluated against HepG2 cells (human liver cancer). The results confirmed the 3D hydrogels as being non-cytotoxic and suitable to support attachment, survival, and proliferation of the cells. All in all, the newly developed inks allowed sustainable 3D bio-hydrogels fitting the requirements as scaffolds for soft tissue engineering.

Effect of chia seed mucilage/bacterial cellulose edible coating on bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of strawberries during cold storage.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of chia seed mucilage (CSM) - bacterial cellulose nano-fiber (CNF) edible coating on bioactive compounds and antioxidant enzyme activity of strawberries. Strawberries were coated with CSM containing 0.6 and 8.0% (w/w) of CNF. The content of total phenol, flavonoids, anthocyanin, ascorbic acid, protein content, antioxidant activity and the activity of polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase enzymes were evaluated. The use of CSM - CNF edible coatings further preserved the phenolic, flavonoid, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity of strawberries, and this effect was more evident in the CSM-coated sample containing CNF; However, the accumulation of anthocyanins in the coated samples was lower than the control sample. The activity of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase enzymes, which lead to the degradation of phenolic compounds and brown color in the product, was also effectively controlled by the edible coating.

The electrochemical immunosensor for detection of prostatic specific antigen using quince seed mucilage-GNPs-SNPs as a green composite.

Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) is known as a biomarker of prostate cancer. In males, prostate cancer is ranked second as leading cause of death out of more than 200 different cancer types1. As a result, early detection of cancer can cause a significant reduction in mortality. PSA concentration directly is related to prostate cancer, so normal serum concentrations in healthy means are 4 ng and above 10 ng as abnormal concentration. Therefore, PSA determination is important to cancer progression. In this study, a free label electrochemical immunosensor was prepared based on a new green platform for the quantitative detection of the PSA. The used platform was formed from quince seed mucilage containing green gold and silver nanoparticles and synthesized by the green method (using Calendula officinalis L. extract). The quince mucilage biopolymer was used as a sub layer to assemble nanoparticles and increase the electrochemical performance. This nanocomposite was used to increase the antibody loading and accelerate the electron transfer, which can increase the biosensor sensitivity. The antibodies of the PSA biomarker were successfully incubated on the green platform. Under the optimal conditions, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was proportional to the PSA biomarker concentration from 0.1 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with low limit of detection (0.078 pg mL-1). The proposed green immunosensor exhibited high stability and reproducibility, which can be used for the quantitative assay of the PSA biomarker in clinical analyses. The results of real sample analysis presented another tool for the PSA biomarker detection in physiologic models.

Eco-friendly UV protective bionanocomposite based on Salep-mucilage/flower-like ZnO nanostructures to control photo-oxidation of kilka fish oil.

The carbohydrate source has shown great potential for preparing edible film structures, particularly as bionanocomposite edible films. In the present study, highly effective eco-friendly UV protective bionanocomposite based on Salep-mucilage (SaM)/ZnO flower-like (ZnOF) nanostructures were developed and characterized. To investigate microstructure and structure properties of SaM/ZnOF bionanocomposite, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques, Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were utilized. Our results showed that the increasing ZnOF content decreased transparency (~80%) of the bionanocomposites. The hunter color values observations confirmed the films' UV-Vis spectrum and their UV-protective properties. Additionally, SaM/ZnOF bionanocomposite were examined for their efficacy to decrease photo-oxidation in kilka fish oil under fluorescent light during 12 days of storage. The outcomes of our investigation confirm that SaM/ZnOF bionanocomposite with performance as the adequate light barrier to delay photo-oxidation of kilka fish oil during extended storage.

Grafting modification of okra mucilage: Recent findings, applications, and future directions.

Okra polysaccharides are biocompatible polymers with antimicrobial, anticancer, hypoglycemic, and antioxidant characteristics and hence are used in different fields such as drug delivery, food industry, and wastewater treatment. Consequently, okra-polymer modification by different methods, such as grafting, to satisfy industrial demands is attracting much scientific attention. Although a large body of literature is available on the extraction of okra polysaccharides and their applications, little is known about their grafting modification. While crosslinking and binary grafting can help in the realization of the desired properties, these methods have not been widely used on okra polysaccharides. In this review, we highlight the different methods used for the extraction of okra polysaccharides and systematically summarize major findings on their grafting modification and applications in different industries. This information will help in designing experimental protocols for the modification of okra polysaccharides to suit future needs.

Electrospun chia seed mucilage/PVA encapsulated with green cardamonmum essential oils: Antioxidant and antibacterial property.

In this work, the potential of chia seed mucilage (CSM) as a new source of carbohydrate for encapsulation of green cardamonmum Essential oils (GCEOs) was evaluated. 1H NMR spectrum, FTIR spectrum and, SEM image has confirmed the existence of the GCEOs in the nanofibers. The nanofibers of CSM and polyvinyl alcohol have not antibacterial property, while nanofibers containing GCEOs show antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Incorporating GCEOs in CSM nanofibers improved the antioxidant of the generated nanofibers. The amount of radical scavenging for the nanofibers containing 16 (mg/ml) of GCEOs was 18% and increasing the GCEOs concentration up to 64 (mg/ml) leads to grow the activity up to 41%. Thus, our studies indicate that nanofiber can be used as a novel antioxidant and antibacterial agent in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Development and evaluation of sodium alginate-basil seeds mucilage beads as a suitable carrier for controlled release of metformin.

Sodium alginate (SA) is a natural biopolymer that is used as biodegradable and non-toxic material in medical and pharmaceutical fields. Although crosslinked SA with calcium ions in the presence of monovalent salts are unstable. The aim of this work is to employe plant mucilage in combination of SA beads to improve the properties of SA beads. SA beads containing metformin drug (MET) were modified using basil seed mucilage (BSM) to achieve controlled release was investigated. The presence of BSM in the SA structure results in more stability, less swelling, and consequently lower release. The effect of pH 1.2 and pH 7.4 on its release and swelling of the beads was studied, and the results showed that the lowest swelling and release was from the acidic environment. Sodium Tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linker in the bead structure caused a lower release and swelling. The chemical structure of beads was confirmed by FTIR, SEM indicated the porous structure of SA bead and continuous structure of SA/BSM bead and DSC indicated that the presence of BSM in the bead structure decreased the chain motility. Also, cytotoxicity of BSM was investigated by MTT method, and the mucilage toxicity was not confirmed until 3 ml.

Recent progress in the research of yam mucilage polysaccharides: Isolation, structure and bioactivities.

Yam (Dioscorea spp.), known as an edible and medicinal tuber crop in China, has been used historically for the treatment of diabetes, diarrhea, asthma, and other ailments in traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, it has been consumed as starchy food for thousands of years in China. Modern phytochemistry and pharmacological experiments have been proved that non-starch polysaccharide is one of the main bioactive substances of yam. Many studies have been focused on the isolation and identification of polysaccharides and their bioactivities of Chinese yam. However, due to the difference in the variety of raw materials and the method of polysaccharides extracting, the structure and biological activity of the obtained polysaccharides also differ. It has been demonstrated that Chinese yam polysaccharide has various important biological activities, such as hypoglycemia, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and antitumor activities. This paper is aimed at summarizing previous and current references of the isolation processes, structural features and bioactivities of yam polysaccharides. The review will serve as a useful reference material for further investigation and application of yam polysaccharides in functional foods and medicine fields.

Microencapsulation of sesame seed oil by tamarind seed mucilage.

Tamarind seed mucilage (TSM) was evaluated as a novel wall material for microencapsulation of sesame oil (SO) by spray-drying method. Wall material:core ratios of 1:1 (M1) and 1:2 (M2) were considered, and the corresponding physical and flow properties, thermal stability, functional groups composition, morphology, encapsulation efficiency, and oxidative stability were evaluated. Powder of M1 and M2 microcapsules exhibited free-flowing characteristics. The particle size distribution for M1 microcapsules was monomodal with diameter in the range 1-50 µm. In contrast, Microcapsules M2 presented a bimodal distribution with diameter in the ranges 1-50 µm and 50-125 µm. M1 microcapsules were thermally stable until 227 °C and microcapsules M2 until 178 °C. Microcapsules M1 and M2 exhibited a dominant amorphous halo and external morphology almost spherical in shape. Encapsulation efficiency was 91.05% for M1 and 81.22% for M2. Peroxide formation reached values after six weeks was 14.65 and 16.51 mEq/kgOil for M1 and M2 respectively. Overall, the results led to the conclusion that tamarind mucilage is a viable material for high microencapsulation efficiency, while offering protection against oxidation mechanisms of SO.

Bioparticles of flaxseed protein and mucilage enhance the physical and oxidative stability of flaxseed oil emulsions as a potential natural alternative for synthetic surfactants.

Flaxseed protein (FP) and mucilage (FM) complex bioparticles as sustainable ingredients were assembled by electrostatic interaction for plant-based Pickering stabilization of flaxseed oil (FO)-in-water emulsions. The effect of FO content (1-5 wt%) on droplet size and accelerated creaming stability of the emulsions was evaluated, from which it was found that 2.5 wt% FO emulsion had the smallest initial droplet size (i.e. D[4,3] = 8 µm) and creaming velocity (2.9 µm/s). The microstructure of the emulsions was observed using Cryo-SEM, confocal and optical microscopy, showing a thick layer of the particles on the oil surface responsible for the stabilization. The physical stability of FO emulsions stabilized by complex bioparticles against various environmental stress conditions (pH, salt and temperature) was higher compared to plain FP- and polysorbate 80-stabilized emulsions. Thus, the droplet size of FP-stabilized emulsions (pH 3) increased from 21 to 38 µm after thermal treatment (80 °C), whereas the size distribution of particle-stabilized emulsions hardly changed. The latter emulsions also remained stable during 28 days of storage and displayed good stability against a wide range of pH conditions (2-9) and salt concentrations (0-500 mM) with no sign of oiling-off. The complex particles as Pickering emulsifiers were successful to depress the FO oxidation at 4 °C and 50 °C. This study could open a promising pathway for producing natural and surfactant-free emulsions through Pickering stabilization using plant-based biopolymer particles for protecting lipophilic bioactive components.

Encapsulation of flaxseed oil in the tertiary conjugate of oxidized tannic acid-gelatin and flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) mucilage.

Flaxseed oil, due to high amount of unsaturation, is susceptible to oxidation which could reduce oil nutritional value and cause off-flavor. In this study, flaxseed oil was encapsulated in new wall materials of tertiary conjugate of gelatin-flaxseed mucilage (FM)-oxidized tannic acid (OTA) which are available and food grade with nutritional value, controlled-release ability. The effect of different percentages of oil (15, 30 and 50% w/w concentration of total dry matter) on encapsulation efficiency (EE) and loading (EL) was investigated. Then, the microcapsules were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), oxidative stability and release profile of flaxseed oil. The data showed that the treatment containing 50% (w/w) oil had the highest oil loading. The oil was surrounded by physical link into the complex and the final powder was fine with low porosity. Also, oxidative test exhibited an improved stability of the oil encapsulated in triple complex. During storage, the peroxide value of encapsulated oil increased from 3.0 to 5.3 meq O2/kg while in free oil, higher oxidation rate was recorded. According to the results, this tertiary complex can be used as wall material in encapsulation and delivery system of functional and sensitive oils.

Development and optimization of sustained release mucoadhesive composite beads for colon targeting.

The present work investigates a blend of Linum Seed mucilage(LSM) and Hibiscus Leaf gum(HLG) as mucoadhesive carriers for Capecitabine(CPTB) loaded mucoadhesive composite bead formulation (CMB), in an attempt to achieve sustained release of CPTB (BCS Class I drug) in the colon region. Optimization using Box-Behnken Design(BBD) was used to study the effect of quantities of mucoadhesive carriers(LSM,HLG) and enteric polymer pectin (in curing solution) on response factors such as %drug loading (%DL) and %drug release (%DR). CMB prepared by ion-gelation technique showed uniform bead size, spherical surface morphology, maximum drug encapsulation efficiency. The optimized CMB(F18) exhibited maximum %drug loading(28.94%), favorable in vitro drug release of CPTB(54.43%) in 12 h, where, the release kinetics follow zero order non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. CMB's exhibited significantly higher swelling upon exposure to alkaline media than acidic media similarly ex vivo mucoadhesive study also revealed that major fraction of beads were washed off within 2 h in 1.2pH media whereas in 7.4pH alkaline media major portion of the beads remain adhered even after 24 h Moreover accelerated stability testing of CMB(F18) revealed shelf life of about 2.59 years. Hence the study confirms that the combination of LSM&HLG as ideal mucoadhesive carriers and can favorably target highly soluble drugs to the colon region.

Production of novel chia-mucilage nanocomposite films with starch nanocrystals; An inclusive biological and physicochemical perspective.

In the current study, chia mucilage composite films with starch nanocrystals (3% and 6%) were produced. The films were analyzed physicochemically (FT-IR, AFM, TGA, DSC), mechanically (Tensile strength and contact angle) and biologically (antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxicity) properties. The incorporation of starch nanocrystals was confirmed through FT-IR spectra showing broad OH peak and CO stretching and shift in NH bending vibrations to the lower wave number. Starch nanocrystals enhanced (control 287.23 °C, film with 3% SNC 286.91 °C and film with 6% mucilage 289.41 °C) the thermal properties of the composite films. The Young Modulus of the film showed an increase after the incorporation of starch nanocrystals due to the strong interaction between mucilage and nanocrystals. On the other hand, the overall hydrophobicity of mucilage composite film decreased due to the hydrophilic nature of cornstarch nanocrystals. MTT assay for cell proliferation revealed significant inhibition of cancer cell (HepG2) lines and exhibits a very low inhibition of epithelial cell line (Vero). Starch nanocrystals enhanced the antibacterial and antioxidant (threefold increase compare to control) properties of mucilage composite films. Mucilage-SNC composite films could be a good therapeutic gain for control and directed drug delivery, food packaging, food coating.

Nanoencapsulation of linseed oil with chia mucilage as structuring material: Characterization, stability and enrichment of orange juice.

Linseed oil was nanoencapsulated with chia seed mucilage (CSM) as structuring material. Linseed oil nanoparticles (LO-NP) were evaluated regarding particle size distribution, zeta potential, pH, viscosity, encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, morphology, FT-IR and thermal properties. Furthermore, the nanoparticles were spray-dried, and oxidative stability was evaluated during 28 days under storage at accelerated conditions (40 °C). The bioaccessibility of spray dried nanoparticles (SP LO-NP) was also evaluated after in vitro digestion. Thereafter, SP LO-NP were utilized in the enrichment of orange juice, and physicochemical and sensory evaluation of pure orange juice and orange juice with SP LO-NP were evaluated. Nanoparticles in suspension presented a mean diameter of 356 ±â€¯2.83 nm, zeta potential of -22.75 ±â€¯3.89 mV and encapsulation efficiency of 52%. No significant differences regarding consumer acceptance were observed between pure orange juice and orange juice with SP LO-NP. The results suggest that CSM can be used as structuring material to nanoencapsulate hydrophobic compounds, allowing its solubility in foods with high water content. Furthermore, the SP LO-NP provided a good bioaccessibility to linseed oil after in vitro digestion, which represents an advantage to incorporate the nanoparticles in food.

Effect of chia mucilage addition on oxidation and release kinetics of lemon essential oil microencapsulated using mesquite gum - Chia mucilage mixtures.

Lemon essential oil (LEO) emulsions were prepared using mesquite gum (MG) - chia mucilage (CM) mixtures (90-10 and 80-20 MG-CM weight ratios) and MG as control sample, LEO emulsions were thenspray dried for obtaining the respective microcapsules.LEO emulsions were analyzed by mean droplet size and apparent viscosity, while microcapsules were characterized through mean particle size, morphology, volatile oil retention (≤51.5%), encapsulation efficiency (≥96.9%), as well asoxidation and release kinetics of LEO. TheLEO oxidation kinetics showed that 90-10 and 80-20MG-CM microcapsules displayed maximum peroxide values of 91.6 and 90.5 meq hydroperoxides kg-1 of oil, respectively, without significant differences between them (p > .05).MG-CM microcapsules provided better protection to LEO against oxidation than those formed with MG; where the oxidation kinetics were well adjusted to zero-order (r2 ≥ 0.94).The LEO release kinetics from microcapsules were carried out at differentpH (2.5 and 6.5) and temperature (37 °C and 65 °C) and four mathematical models (zero-order, first-order, Higuchi and Peppas) were used to evaluate the experimental data; the release kinetics indicated that the 80-20 MG-CM microcapsules had a longer delay in LEO release rate, followed by 90-10 MG-CM and MG microcapsules, hence, CM addition in MG-CM microcapsules contributed to delay the LEO release rate. This work clearly demonstrates that use of a relatively small amount of CM mixed with MGimproves oxidative stability and delays the release rate of encapsulated LEO regarding MG microcapsules, therefore, MG-CM mixtures are interesting additives systems suitable for being applied in food industry.
