Abstract
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) deficiency is a major public health challenge worldwide. The development of reliable methods for its protection and distribution is essential for effective supplementation. In this study, vacuum-assisted biosorption followed by spray drying was investigated to determine the encapsulation of vitamin D3 in brewer yeast cells. The size of the particles produced ranged from 20.04 µm (plasmolyzed cells) to 37.40 µm (intact cells), with plasmolyzed cells exhibiting higher electronegativity (zeta potential: −19.8 to −20.0 mV). Morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy revealed greater shrinkage of the plasmolyzed cells. Stability tests over 60 days revealed a 31.2% retention of vitamin D3 in intact cells and 20.6% in plasmolyzed cells. The plasmolysis process improved the efficiency of impregnation by about 42%. This method shows potential for stabilizing and protecting vitamin D3 in yeast-based delivery systems, which is a promising approach for sustainable food fortification.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists, researchers, and other food professionals the opportunity to share knowledge of scientific advancements in the myriad disciplines affecting their work, through a respected peer-reviewed publication. The Journal of Food Science serves as an international forum for vital research and developments in food science.
The range of topics covered in the journal include:
-Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
-New Horizons in Food Research
-Integrated Food Science
-Food Chemistry
-Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
-Food Microbiology and Safety
-Sensory and Consumer Sciences
-Health, Nutrition, and Food
-Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including safety and nutrition. Reviews should be 15 to 50 typewritten pages (including tables, figures, and references), should provide in-depth coverage of a narrowly defined topic, and should embody careful evaluation (weaknesses, strengths, explanation of discrepancies in results among similar studies) of all pertinent studies, so that insightful interpretations and conclusions can be presented. Hypothesis papers are especially appropriate in pioneering areas of research or important areas that are afflicted by scientific controversy.
