Morphological, Structural, and Thermal Properties of Microbial Carotenoids Microencapsulated by Spray‐Drying Using Different Combinations of Wall Materials

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the spray‐drying encapsulation of carotenoid‐rich extracts produced by Sporidiobolus salmonicolor, with the optimization of a ternary wall system of gum arabic (GA), inulin (IN), and corn starch (ST). Carotenoids were produced in a semi‐continuous bioreactor, extracted with organic solvents, and microencapsulated by spray ...

The Effect of Mustard Powder Percentage on the Physicochemical, Microbial Load, and Sensory Analysis of Artisanal Ethiopian Cottage Cheese

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cottage cheese quality and shelf life are global challenges, but natural preservatives like mustard seed powder are used due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. This study examines different percentages of mustard powder (C [0%], B1 [0.05%], B2 [0.1%], and B3 [0.15%]) and storage times (T0 [0], T1 [4], T2 [8], T3 [12], and T4 [15] days ...

Effect of organic biocolourants on lightfastness and mechanical properties of polylactic acid

Coloration Technology, Volume 141, Issue 6, Page 921-931, December 2025.
Abstract Most modern colourants are acquired from petroleum‐based sources or mining, which often causes environmental degradation. Consequently, alternative colouring solutions are sought, such as using biocolourants, which are organic colourants from bio‐based sources.
