Abstract: | The stability of microencapsulated fish oil was studied during storage at 4 °C for up to 20 wk. Different coating mixtures consisting of gelatin or caseinate in blends with carbohydrates (sucrose, lactose, maltodextrin) were investigated. Oxidative stability of the microencapsulated fish oil was monitored by analysis of volatile compounds using gas chromatography olfactometry (GC‐O) or GC flame ionization (GC‐FID) (SPME‐HS‐GC/O or GC/ FID and HS‐GC/MS), Oxipres test, thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances (TBARS), and sensory analysis. Coating mixture of caseinate and lactose showed slightly better stability than the sucrose and maltodextrin caseinate mixtures. Combination of fish gelatin and maltodextrin did not show as good oxidative stability as the coating blend of caseinate, lactose, and lecithin. Hexanal, 2‐nonenal and 2,4‐decadienals were selected as quality indicators to monitor the lipid oxidation during storage of the samples. SPME‐GC‐O analysis of these indicators showed that they were representative for the oxidation occurring in the microencapsulated fish oil. SPME‐GC‐FID analysis was sensitive enough to detect oxidative changes during storage. Oxidative stability test, TBARS results, and sensory analysis were in agreement with the SPME, indicating that SPME (polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene PDMS/ DVB] fiber) can be a useful tool for rapid analysis of lipid oxidation in microencapsulated fish oil. |
