Effect of thermal processing and storage condition on the flavour stability of spray-dried durian powder

Stability of key odour volatiles (propanethiol, ethyl propanoate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate and diethyl disulfide) from spray-dried durian powder that was subjected to accelerated storage were analysed quantitatively using headspace solid phase microextraction coupled to fast gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The type of drying aids incorporated significantly influenced volatiles retention in the powder product. The addition of gum Arabic resulted in higher retention of volatiles in the durian powder as compared to maltodextrin and N-Lok starches. Volatiles that remained in the powder ranged from 57% to 76% of the original concentration. Volatile composition of the powder product was altered with only two aldehydes included 2- and 3-methyl butanal and no off-flavour volatile was detected throughout the storage. The rates of volatiles release from the spray-dried powder under accelerated storage condition increased markedly at higher relative humidity.     

Encapsulation efficiency and oxidative stability of flaxseed oil microencapsulated by spray drying using different combinations of wall materials

This study aimed at evaluating the potential of maltodextrin combination with different wall materials in the microencapsulation of flaxseed oil by spray drying, in order to maximize encapsulation efficiency and minimize lipid oxidation. Maltodextrin (MD) was mixed with gum Arabic (GA), whey protein concentrate (WPC) or two types of modified starch (Hi-Cap 100^TM and Capsul TA®) at a 25:75 ratio. The feed emulsions used for particle production were characterized for stability, viscosity and droplet size. The best encapsulation efficiency was obtained for MD:Hi-Cap followed by the MD:Capsul combination, while the lowest encapsulation efficiency was obtained for MD:WPC, which also showed poorer emulsion stability. Particles were hollow, with the active material embedded in the wall material matrix, and had no apparent cracks or fissures. During the oxidative stability study, MD:WPC combination was the wall material that best protected the active material against lipid oxidation.     

DHA藻油纳米脂质体粉末制备：壁材对储存稳定性、体外消化及细胞摄取的影响

为开发具有更高储存稳定性和生物利用度的负载DHA藻油的脂质体粉末,以DHA藻油为原料,首先利用大豆卵磷脂制备负载DHA藻油的纳米脂质体悬液,继而分别使用3种壁材(麦芽糊精、羟丙基-β-环糊精及二者质量比为1∶1的混合物)对脂质体悬液包埋后进行喷雾干燥,制得DHA藻油纳米脂质体粉末,最后比较了3种壁材对脂质体粉末氧化稳定性、体外消化和细胞摄取的影响。结果表明：DHA藻油脂质体悬液制备的最佳条件为大豆卵磷脂与DHA藻油质量比3∶1、超声时间1 min、旋蒸温度45℃、PBS的pH 7.0、PBS浓度0.02 mol/L、PBS用量10 mL(大豆卵磷脂与藻油总质量0.4 g时),在此条件下DHA藻油脂质体悬液的包封率为88.01%;3种脂质体粉末粒径范围在(253.87±1.96)～(408.80±1.23)nm之间,Zeta电位在(-40.80±0.78)～(-34.87±0.25) mV之间;羟丙基-β-环糊精与麦芽糊精混合物为壁材时,DHA藻油纳米脂质体粉末具有更高的氧化稳定性、更低的水分含量和更慢的脂肪酸体外消化释放率;3种脂质体粉末使Caco-2细胞中SLC27 A4、FABP4...     

Assessment of production efficiency,physicochemical properties and storage stability of spray‐dried chlorophyllide,a natural food colourant,using gum Arabic,maltodextrin and soy protein isolate‐based carrier systems

The aim of this research was to study spray drying as potential action to protect chlorophyllide from environmental conditions for shelf‐life extension and characterisation of the powders. Six formulations were prepared with 7.5 and 10 g of carrier agents [gum Arabic (GA), maltodextrin (MA) and soybean protein isolate (SPI)]/100 mL of chlorophyllide solutions. The powders were evaluated for morphological characteristics (SEM), particle size, water activity, moisture, density, hygroscopicity, cold water solubility, sorption isotherms, colour and stability, during 90 days. All the powders were highly soluble, with solubility values around 97%. A significant lower hygroscopicity was observed for GA powders, whilst the lower X_m values obtained by GAB equation fitting of the sorption isotherms was observed for the 7.5 g MA/100 mL samples. All formulations, but the 1 (7.5 g SPI/100 mL of chlorophyllide), provided excellent stability to the chlorophyllide during 90 days of storage even at room temperature.
