Curdlan as a heat-irreversible gel wall material in electrostatic spray-dried solid/oil/water probiotic microcapsules: Thermal resistance and storage stability.
In this study, to develop a robust probiotic delivery system, high molecular weight 1,3-β-D-glucan curdlan gum (CUR) was employed as a functional wall material. It was combined with whey protein isolate and high oleic sunflower oil to prepare solid/oil/water (S/O/W) emulsion microcapsules using electrostatic spray dryi...
