Abstract

In this study alyssum homolocarpum seed gum (AHSG) nanocapsules containing D-limonene were fabricated by electrospraying process. For this purpose, D-limonene emulsions with constant AHSG (0.5% w/w) and two different flavor concentrations (10 or 20% based on gum weight) were prepared. The effects of physical properties of emulsions (rheological properties, droplet size, surface tension and electrical conductivity) on the morphology of capsules were studied. The results indicated that the droplet size and electrical conductivity of emulsions was mainly affected by concentration of D-limonene. Consequently, morphology and particle size of nanocapsules obtained from two emulsions, were somewhat different due to their difference in flavor content. FE-SEM images confirmed the success of electrospraying process for production of round and smooth AHSG nanocapsules with narrow size distribution. AHSG nanocapsules showed high encapsulation efficiency (more than 87%). Stability assay revealed a relatively good storage stability of encapsulated D-limonene and the maximum loss in 90 days was 11.67%. The release of D-limonene from AHSG nanocapsules was performed quickly, completely and fairly uniform due to the small and uniform size of particles. The kinetic modeling indicated that the data of D-limonene release in both artificial saliva and deionized water media were well fitted to the Korsmeyer-Peppas models.
