Coacervation-based co-encapsulation of curcumin and vitamin E in gelatine-alginate microcapsules: a comprehensive study on encapsulation efficiency, physical properties, structure and release behaviour.
Curcumin and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) are lipophilic antioxidants limited by poor stability. To overcome this, both compounds were co-encapsulated in tannic acid-crosslinked gelatine-sodium alginate microcapsules via complex coacervation, comparing Ultra-Turrax (UT) and ultrasonication (US) homogenisation across core-t...
