Efficient Improvement of Eugenol Water Solubility by Spray Drying Encapsulation in Soluplus^® and Lutrol F 127.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we present an elegant and simple method for significant improvement of eugenol water solubility using the polymers Soluplus^® and Lutrol F 127 as carriers and spray drying as an encapsulation method. The formulations were optimized by adding myo-inositol-a sweetening agent-and Aerosil^® 200 (colloidal, fumed silica)-an anticaking agent. The highest encapsulation efficiency of 97.9-98.2% was found for the samples containing 5% eugenol with respect to the mass of Soluplus^®. The encapsulation efficiencies of the spray-dried samples with 15% eugenol are around 90%. Although lowering the yield, the addition of Lutrol F 127 results in a more regular particle shape and enhanced powder flowability. The presence of Aerosil^® 200 and myo
