Retention of saffron bioactive components by spray drying encapsulation using maltodextrin, gum Arabic and gelatin as wall materials
Highlights Saffron bioactive components were encapsulated using different wall materials. A mixture of maltodextrin, Arabic gum and gelatin resulted in highest encapsulation efficiency. Total solids significantly affected microcapsule properties and saffron components retention. Over 80% retention of crocin, picrocrocin and safranal was achieved during spray drying encapsulation.
