ENCAPSULATION OF ZINC-CHLOROPHYLL DERIVATIVES IN WHEY PROTEIN MATRIX BY EMULSION/COLD-SET GELATION
Abstract
Encapsulation of spinach zinc-chlorophyll (Zn-chlorophyll) derivatives in whey
protein by emulsion/cold-set gelation seems to be a promising alternative
method for handling stabilized green natural colorant. The main important
parameter was the pH of the emulsion system that caused precipitation of the whey
protein. The shape of the microbeads containing 1 and 5% Zn-chlorophyll derivatives
were spherical, while microbeads containing 10% Zn-chlorophyll derivatives production
concluded with precipitation of whey protein due to reaching isoelectric point
(pI= 4.9). Encapsulation efficiency was determined for different loads of
active material, whereas, the highest value was obtained for 1% Zn-chlorophyll
derivatives containing microbeads. Microbeads with 5% Zn-chlorophyll
derivatives showed the best stability for color values (L*=31.25 ± 0.06, a*=
-2.91 ± 0.11, and b*= 25.85 ± 0.08), and a 74% protection of the total
chlorophyll content was maintained at the end of 3 months of storage at 4 °C.
