The Stability

Objective: This study aimed to determine the stability of microspheres of Sargassum plagyophyllum (brown seaweed) after preparation using spraydrying with maltodextrin DE 10–15 and during drying and storage.Methods: Aqueous extracts of brown seaweed were formulated into microspheres using maltodextrin DE 10–15 as a coating agent. For increasing thestability of polyphenol compounds, spray drying was performed with an inlet temperature of 110°C. Four microsphere formulations were producedusing maltodextrin DE 10–15 at concentrations of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. The resulting microspheres were then characterized in the assessments ofmoisture contents, particle size distributions, pH, total phlorotannin contents, and antioxidant activity, and surface morphology was analyzed usingscanning electron microscope analyses.Results: Powders that were produced with 0% and 15% maltodextrin were more stable at 4°C±2°C than at 28°C±2°C and 40°C±2°C. At the lowesttemperature, phlorotannin contents were maintained in powders that were prepared with 15% maltodextrin but were decreased by 10% in powdersthat were prepared without maltodextrin.Conclusion: Maltodextrin DE 10–15 is a suitable coating agent for dry formulations of S. plagyophyllum powder and maintained stability during spraydrying at 110°C and during storage for 2 months at 4°C±2°C.

Adverse Environmental Conditions

Carotenoids are a class of natural pigments found mainly in fruits and vegetables. Among them,β-carotene is regarded the most potent precursor of vitamin A. However, it is susceptible to oxidation upon exposure to oxygen, light, and heat, which can result in loss of colour, antioxidant activity, and vitamin activity. Thus, the objective of this work was to study the microencapsulation process ofβ-carotene by spray drying, using arabic gum as wall material, to protect it against adverse environmental conditions. This was carried out using the response surface methodology coupled to a central composite rotatable design, evaluating simultaneously the effect of drying air inlet temperature (110-200°C) and the wall material concentration (5-35%) on the drying yield, encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, and antioxidant activity. In addition, morphology and particles size distribution were evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy images have shown that the particles were microcapsules with a smooth surface when produced at the higher drying temperatures tested, most of them having a diameter lower than 10μm. The conditions that enabled obtaining simultaneously arabic gum microparticles with higherβ-carotene content, higher encapsulation efficiency, and higher drying yield were a wall material concentration of 11.9% and a drying inlet temperature of 173°C. The systematic approach used for the study ofβ-carotene microencapsulation process by spray drying using arabic gum may be easily applied for other core and wall materials.

Background: S. chinensis extract contains bioactive compounds, which exhibit high antioxidant activities. However, for commercial uses, it is necessary to encapsulate the extract to protect it from degradation. Objective: This study aimed to optimise spray-drying conditions and then compare with freeze-drying to identify the most suitable conditions for encapsulation of Salacia chinensis L. root extract. Method: Three factors of spray-drying encapsulation, including maltodextrin concentration, inlet temperature and feed rate, have been tested for the impacts on the physical and phytochemical properties of S. chinensis root extract. Based on the optimal conditions, the spray-drying was then compared with freeze-drying. Results: The results showed that maltodextrin concentration, inlet temperature and feed rate had significant impacts on recovery yield, phenolics, mangiferin and antioxidant activity of the spray-dried extract. The optimal spray-drying encapsulation conditions were maltodextrin concentration of 20 %, inlet temperature of 130ºC and feed rate of 9 mL/min. Under these optimal conditions, the encapsulated extract had comparable solubility, total phenolics, mangiferin, and antioxidant activity, lower bulk density, moisture content, and water activity as compared to encapsulated extract made using the freeze-drying technique. These optimal spray-drying conditions are recommended to encapsulate the extract of S. chinensis root. Conclusion: Spray-drying was found to be more effective for encapsulation of S. chinensis root extract than freeze-drying. Therefore, spray-drying is recommended for further applications.

Fucus vesiculosus L. is a common coastal brown seaweed associated with various benefits to human health due to its phenolic content and nutrients and is used as food through different methods of consumption. This study aims to evaluate the influence of the seaweed’s gender and growth stage on different types of biological activities as well as its chemical constitution and elements present. Akin to food preparation, aqueous extracts of the seaweed were prepared at 25 °C (salad) and 100 °C (soup). Biological activities were determined by measuring total phenol content (TPC), antioxidant activity and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS) was used for compound identification, and elemental analysis was carried out by using Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (TXRF). Older females and males had higher TPC compared to the new ones at 100 °C. Antioxidant activity depended on the extraction temperature but was higher for the youngest male at 100 °C. AChE inhibitory activity was higher for older males at 25 °C, but at 100 °C it was higher for older females. Primary metabolites and various phloroglucinol were the main compounds identified. Additionally, since this seaweed is often harvested in estuarine systems with high anthropogenic impacts, its safety was evaluated through the evaluation of the sample’s metal content. The heavy metals detected are within the limits established by various regulating entities, pointing to a safe food source.

Research background: The aim of this work was to evaluate utilization of sweet potato peel as a source of bioactive compounds. The effect of solvents (acetone and acetone/ethanol mixture) on extraction efficiency of total carotenods and phenolics from sweet potato flesh tuber and peel, and antioxidant activity were investigated. SPP extract standed out in terms of antioxidant activity and was choosen for encapsulation by spray and freeze drying techniques. Experimental approach: Encapsulation is an effective method to improve phytochemical stability by entrapping the core material with a coating agent. In this study, spray and freeze-drying techniques were applied for improving the stability of bioactive compounds (carotenoids and phenolics) using whey protein as a coating material. The main advantages of applied techniques over the other encapsulation techniques are simplicity, continuity, effectiveness, availability, and applicability. Results and conclusions: Physicochemical characteristics revealed that spray drying resulted in the formation of lower size particles, better flowing properties, and encapsulation efficiency of carotenoids. The retention of encapsulated and non-encapsulated bioactive compounds was monitoring during storage at daylight and dark conditions. Storage conditions affected the carotenoid retention, whereas daylight exhibited the higher degradation rate for all samples. Phenolic compounds exhibited higher retention for all investigated samples. Degradation kinetic parameters suggest the longer shelf life of spray dried encapsulates and potent method for bioactives stabilization. Novelty and scientific contribution: This study demonstrates that the spray drying technique and utilization of sweet potato peel have big potential in functional additives development, with improved nutritional, color and bioactive properties.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of convective air-drying at different temperatures (35, 50, 60 and 75°C) on the color of Bifurcaria bifurcata (BB) seaweed powders obtained after milling, the antioxidant activity and polyphenolic and carbohydrate content of the aqueous extracts obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction. BB seaweed powders exhibited significant color differences between powders obtained from BB dried at 35ºC (yellowish-green) and 50–75 °C (brown). High air drying temperature (above 60ºC) significantly reduced the total polyphenolic, carbohydrate content and scavenging activity of aqueous extracts of BB.

Carbon Anodes

Carbon anodes participate in chemical reactions to reduce alumina in the Hall–Héroult process, of which coke aggregates make up a major part. The failure analysis of coke aggregates not only leads to a better understanding of the deformation mechanisms of anode paste under compressive loading but also can identify potential causes of structural defects in carbon anodes, such as horizontal cracks. The coke aggregates are composed of particles with different size distributions and shapes, which may strongly affect the failure behavior of the anode during compaction. In this paper, the effects of particle size distributions and shapes on the mechanical behavior and the failure of coke aggregates are investigated using the discrete element method modeling technique. The numerical results reveal that, although the mechanical behavior of coke mixtures is generally dependent on larger particles, the presence of fine particles in the coke aggregates reduces fluctuations in the stress–strain diagram. In addition, the rolling resistance model is employed as a parameter representing the effect of particle shape. It is shown that the rolling resistance model can be an alternative to the overlapped spheres model, which has a higher computational cost than the rolling resistance model. The second-order work criterion is used to evaluate the stability of the coke aggregates, the results of which indicate that the addition of fine particles as well as increasing the rolling resistance between the particles increases the stability range of the coke aggregates. Moreover, by using the analysis of micro-strain contour evaluations during the compaction process, it is shown that, both by adding fine particles to the coke mixture and by increasing the rolling resistance between the particles, the possibility of creating a compression band in the coke aggregates is reduced. Since the presence of the compaction bands in the anode paste creates an area prone to horizontal crack generations, the results of this study could lead to the production of carbon anodes with fewer structural defects.

Abstract Acerola and camu-camu fruits possess high vitamin C content. However, since these fruits are little consumed in their fresh form, it is important to consider that vitamin C can be oxidized depending on storage conditions. Thus, this study aimed to produce acerola and camu-camu powders by spray drying to maintain the stability of their vitamin C content during storage. Acerola and camu-camu powders were characterized in relation to their physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activity, and vitamin C concentration and stability under different storage conditions (30 °C and 40 °C, 75% relative humidity). In general, the powders were proven to be stable, with low water activity (< 0.40) and humidity (< 4.0 g/100 g powder), as well as high vitamin C concentrations (1593.2 and 6690.4 mg/100 g of powder for acerola and camu-camu, respectively). Furthermore, we observed a high antioxidant activity by ABTS●+, DPPH• and FRAP assays. The powders stored at lower temperature (30 °C) showed higher vitamin C stability. In conclusion, acerola and camu-camu powders produced by spray drying are potential sources of vitamin C and active compounds and are therefore suitable for several food industry applications.

Microencapsulation of curcumin in jelly fig pectin was performed by the vacuum spray drying (VSD) technique. The VSD was advanced with a low inlet temperature of 80–90 °C and low pressure of 0.01 mPa. By the in situ cross-linking with multivalent calcium ions, jelly fig pectin produced stable curcumin encapsulated microparticles. The physiochemical characteristics of microparticles were thoroughly investigated. The results revealed that 0.75 w/w% of jelly fig pectin and inlet temperature of 90 °C could be feasible for obtaining curcumin microparticles. The VSD technique showed the best encapsulation efficiency and yield and loading efficiency was up to 91.56 ± 0.80%, 70.02 ± 1.96%, and 5.45 ± 0.14%, respectively. The curcumin was readily released into simulated gastrointestinal fluid with 95.34 ± 0.78% cumulative release in 24 h. The antioxidant activity was stable after being stored for six months and stored as a solution for seven days at room temperature before analysis. Hence, the VSD technique could be applicable for the microencapsulation of bioactive compounds such as curcumin to protect and use in the food/pharmaceutical industry.
