Microencapsulation of vitamin D by using natural polymers

Natural polymers are very good source for producing microgel-based emulsion system which can increase the stability and bioavailability of nutritious components in food industries and use for microencapsulation purposes. Apple pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose are two bio-polymers polysaccharides sources which are mostly used to produce hydrophilic or hydrophobic cross-linking gels-based microencapsulation. In this study, we will describe the formulation of a novel dispersed system for microencapsulation of oil droplet (vitamin D). A comparative study is made between two sources of natural polymers that are pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose for microencapsulation of vitamin D by forming Pickering emulsion to get the desired properties like size, shape, physio-chemical stability under optimum conditions which result in enhanced biotic availability of the encapsulated product.Natural polymers are very good source for producing microgel-based emulsion system which can increase the stability and bioavailability of nutritious components in food industries and use for microencapsulation purposes.
