The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different coating materials on the efficiency of red ginger oleoresin encapsulation and characterization of microcapsule surface. The encapsulation process begins by dissolving chitosan with 1 % (v/v) acetic acid and dissolving sodium alginate using aquadest to be used as a coating material. Red ginger oleoresin alginate included in the solution was stirred. The mixture entered into the chitosan solution and added tween 80 was stirred using a homogenizer to emulsify. The emulsion that forms included in the <em>spray dryer</em> to be converted into a powder of microcapsules, and then analyzes the encapsulation efficiency and surface morphology of microcapsules using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Differences in the coating material used were chitosan, mixture of chitosan-alginate and mixture of chitosan-alginate-sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). Weight ratio of red ginger oleoresin and the coating material were 1: 1, 1: 2 and 1: 3. The research results obtained were the highest encapsulation efficiency obtained from the coating material of the chitosan-alginate-sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) at a ratio of 1: 3, namely by 85 %.

Garcinia atroviridis fruit has been shown to express anti-obesity activity as a result of its bioactive compound, hydroxycitric acid (HCA). HCA is effective in decreasing appetite, inhibiting fat synthesis, and reducing body weight. However, HCA is very unstable towards certain conditions thus limiting its bioavailability. To overcome the issue of HCA instability, HCA was encapsulated in chitosan (CS) nanoparticles in this study. CS nanoparticles were prepared based on ionic gelation using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linking agent. The concentration of chitosan and TPP: chitosan volume ratios were varied and the resulting nanoparticles were characterized based on zeta potential, particle size, encapsulation efficiency (EE%), and kinetics release. The most optimum nanoparticle was obtained with a combination of 1.5 mg/mL chitosan with a CS: TPP volume ratio of 4: 1. Zeta potential was measured by approximately 49 mV. The size of the particle at optimum condition was found to be 140 nm and the nanoparticle had high encapsulation efficiency (87.55±5.35%). G. atroviridis extract release from CS nanoparticles followed either Higuchi or Korsmeyer Peppas kinetic model. FT-IR studies indicated that G. atroviridis was encapsulated in CS nanoparticles. The present study revealed that concentration of chitosan, and CS: TPP volume ratio can significantly change the physical characteristics of the nanoparticles and this provides an avenue for formulators to engineer CS nanoparticles according to needs.

Nanoparticles-based drug delivery has been recognized to improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, prolong the half-life of drug systematic circulation by reducing immunogenicity, and releases drugs at a sustain rate. The present study reports on the characterization of mahogany bark extract-loaded chitosan nanoparticles and their antioxidant activity.  Mahogany bark meal was extracted in boiled water for four hours.  Chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) nanospheres were sonicated with ultrasonicator to obtain chitosan-STTP nanocapsules for 30 and 60 min and then were dried with spray dryer. The chitosan-STPP nanocapsules loaded by mahogany extract were then analysed for surface morphology and physical state by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Antioxidant activity of the nanoparticles was evaluated by scavenging the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) using free radical method. Based on SEM data, the nanoparticle shapes were viewed to adhere to spherical shape. Spherical chitosan-STTP nanoparticles loaded with mahogany bark extract were obtained in the size range of 480 ~ 2000 nm and 240 ~ 1000 nm for 30 and 60 min of ultrasonication time, respectively. The antioxidant activity of the nanoparticles was lower than that of the native mahogany bark extract.

The aim of this study was to determine the characterization of ionic and covalent interactions to form a crosslinking network with chitosan as a wall material of microcapsules. Red ginger oleoresin microcapsule was prepared by emulsion crosslinking method. Red ginger oleoresin was mixed and stirred with chitosan solution to form an emulsion, then added to corn oil and stirred again to form a second emulsion. Crosslinking agents of glutaraldehyde saturated toluene (GST) or sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) solution was slowly added to the emulsion. When using a crosslinking agent of TPP solution was added glacial acetic acid to adjust pH. Red ginger oleoresin microcapsules were filtered and washed with petroleum ether followed by n-hexane and then dried in an oven. Microcapsules from chitosan that are cross-linked with GST produce higher yield and size of microcapsules compared to TPP. Whereas, the highest encapsulation efficiency produced from chitosan cross-linked with TPP was 91.63±0.02%. Meanwhile, the highest cumulative release was obtained from TPP cross-linked chitosan microcapsules of 63.71% and the lowest was 50.01% from chitosan microcapsules that cross-linked with GST. The conclusion of this study was the differences between ionic and covalent crosslinking agents produce different microcapsule characteristics. Microcapsules from chitosan cross-linked with GST generated more compact with a smoother surface than with TPP.

Phycocyanin is a source of natural blue dye which can be extracted from Spirulina sp. The main characteristics of phycocyanin are unstable by temperature and pH during processing and storage. Microencapsulation methods could be proposed to protect the phycocyanin from the external effect, where the types and concentration of encapsulant used may affect the characteristics of the result. The aim of this study was to determine the best formulation and characterization of phycocyanin microcapsules from Spirulina sp. with maltodextrin and alginate as an encapsulant. The microcapsules were produced using five different concentrations of alginate in maltodextrin, namely 0%; 0.2%; 0.4%; 0.6%; and 0.8% (w/w). The total encapsulant used was 10% of phycocyanin microparticle solution. The results showed that the increasing concentration of alginate could raise the levels of phycocyanin, moisture content, encapsulation efficiency, bulk density, blue intensity, and particle size, it also improved the morphology of the microcapsules. Phycocyanin microcapsules with alginate concentration of 0.6% and 9.4% maltodextrin had the highest phycocyanin content, encapsulation efficiency, and blue intensity.
