Production and Properties of Mononuclear Microcapsules Encapsulating Cinnamon Oil by Complex Coacervation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of present study was to prepare the mononuclear microcapsules containing cinnamon oil (CO) using a complex coacervation method with gelatin and pectin as wall material. The surface morphology of microcapsule was characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then the microcapsules were analyzed by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) to confirm the cinnamon oil had been successfully embedded into the microcapsules and determine the loading capacity. The results showed that the microcapsules were uniform in size, spherical with a mean size of 13.6 ± 4.8μm. The microencapsulation yield, loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency were 65.4±3.3%, 43.3±1.3% and 42.4±1.7%, respectively.
