Abstract
In this study, we applied a hybrid protection system for encapsulating cinnamon essential oil (CEO) to achieve higher protection, stability, and masking of its intense odor and taste in a beverage system. The CEO was protected in a liposome system with an optimized formulation that maximized encapsulation efficiency while minimizing particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential. The optimized liposomal formula (lecithin/cholesterol: 5 and wall/CEO: 7.5) was injected as the dispersed phase of the millifluidic system to produce the CEO-loaded liposome in alginate millicapsules. Size and PDI values of optimized liposome were 0.18 and 252.33 nm, respectively. Zeta potential of liposome (-33.03 mV) also confirmed its stability, and CEO was encapsulated in the liposome with high efficiency (81.40%). The feasibility of this novel liposomal-hybrid system for masking the odor and taste of CEO was evaluated in an acidic beverage. The results revealed that samples fortified with hybrid liposomal CEO yielded less cinnamaldehyde (about 20%) in the headspace than those with liposomal CEO. Accordingly, the encapsulation of CEO-loaded liposomes using the liposome-fluidic method considerably affected the release of aromatic compounds from the liposome. It successfully controlled the intense odor of essential oil. The organoleptic results confirmed the HS- GC/MS results.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Polymers and the Environment fills the need for an international forum in this diverse and rapidly expanding field. The journal serves a crucial role for the publication of information from a wide range of disciplines and is a central outlet for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed original papers, review articles and short communications. The journal is intentionally interdisciplinary in regard to contributions and covers the following subjects - polymers, environmentally degradable polymers, and degradation pathways: biological, photochemical, oxidative and hydrolytic; new environmental materials: derived by chemical and biosynthetic routes; environmental blends and composites; developments in processing and reactive processing of environmental polymers; characterization of environmental materials: mechanical, physical, thermal, rheological, morphological, and others; recyclable polymers and plastics recycling environmental testing: in-laboratory simulations, outdoor exposures, and standardization of methodologies; environmental fate: end products and intermediates of biodegradation; microbiology and enzymology of polymer biodegradation; solid-waste management and public legislation specific to environmental polymers; and other related topics.
