Ferrous sulfate microparticles obtained by spray chilling: characterization, stability and in vitro digestion simulation.

ABSTRACT: The use of microencapsulated ferrous-sulfate is among the various options recommended for food fortification, as the protective wall material surrounding the compound can preserve it from undesirable alterations and also protect the food. Microencapsulated iron can be produced using different wall materials and encapsulation methods. Thus, a microparticle was developed through spray chilling, containing ferrous sulfate (FS), as active compound, and a fat mixture as the coating material. The resulting samples analyzed to determine encapsulation efficiency, particle size distribution, and morphology. Furthermore, the oxidative stability and bioaccessibility of FS microparticles were investigated by simulating in vitro digestion. The findings indicated that the encapsulation technique effecti
