Replacing modified starch by inulin as prebiotic encapsulant matrix of lipophilic bioactive compounds

Food Research International, 2016
The purpose of this work was to replace modified starch (SF) by inulin (IN), a prebiotic carbohydrate, during emulsification assisted by ultrasound. Oregano extract was encapsulated using five proportions of IN and SF as wall materials. The effect of such substitution on the microparticle characteristics was evaluated. Attempting to contribute with the
