Effect of ultrasound on the encapsulation potential of a ternary blend of wall materials for protection of flaxseed oil.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of the present study was to explore the effect of ultrasound on the encapsulation potential of a ternary blend of wall materials (Whey Protein Concentrates: Maltodextrin: Gum Arabic; WPC: MD: GA) for adequate protection of flaxseed oil. Combined effects of sonication treatment time and variable composition of wall materials on the emulsion properties (droplet size, Polydispersity Index and Zeta Potential and viscosity) and subsequent spray-dried microcapsules of flaxseed oil were investigated. The best-formulated emulsion, with average droplet sizes of 406.28 nm, exhibited pseudoplastic behaviour. Microcapsules were obtained with the highest encapsulation rates of 90.27% with 4 min of sonication treatment with WPC: MD: GA present in ratio of 0.20:0.50:1.5. The microca
