Abstract
Land spinach (Ipomoea reptans Poir) contains polyphenols that act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Polyphenols scavenge free radicals that induce oxidative stress, which can lead to inflammation. However, polyphenols are easily degraded by temperature, oxygen, and moisture. This study aims to determine the effect of encapsulation in maintaining chemical properties and the best physical characteristics of encapsulated land spinach. Land spinach extract is encapsulated using freeze-drying with a variation of maltodextrin and gum arabic ratio (20:80; 40:60; and 60:40). Encapsulation can protect active compounds and extend shelf life by protecting products from environmental conditions and damage. All treatments were analyzed on 0-, 7-, and 14-days of storage. Treatment with 20:80 maltodextrin:gum arabic demonstrated the finest chemical properties and stability with the lowest percentage decrease in polyphenols, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory activities compared to other treatments. Furthermore, treatment of 20:80 maltodextrin:gum arabic had the highest encapsulation efficiency, moisture content, and yield.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
