| Abstract: | ABSTRACT The encapsulation properties of pure mesquite and arabic gum powders and mixtures thereof with orange peel oil were measured. The highest rate of encapsulated oil was found to be 93.5 % for a ratio of 60.40% of arabic to mesquite gums. Pure arabic gum preparations were able to encapsulate similar amounts of the oil. Sensory evaluvation of the microencapsulates showed no significant differences (a≤.05) in flavor intensity beween orange peel oil encapsulated with pure arabic gum and mixtures containing mesquite gum. |
