Microencapsulation via Spray-Drying of Geraniol-Loaded Emulsions Stabilized by Marine Exopolysaccharide for Enhanced Antimicrobial Activity

The current study investigates the formation of microencapsulated geraniol powder, with the exopolysaccharide EPS-K1B3 produced by <i>Halomonas caseinilytica</i> K1, as wall material, using spray-drying. Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of the functional emulsions, prepared at ei...

description The current study investigates the formation of microencapsulated geraniol powder, with the exopolysaccharide EPS-K1B3 produced by <i>Halomonas caseinilytica</i> K1, as wall material, using spray-drying. Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of the functional emulsions, prepared at either pH 5 or pH 7, was carried out against Gram-positive (<i>Listeria innocua</i> (ATCC 33090)) and Gram-negative (<i>Escherichia coli</i> (DSM682)) bacterial strains. Results showed prolonged antimicrobial efficacy until 30 days of incubation for geraniol microcapsules compared to wet geraniol emulsions, which could confirm the ability of the spray-drying process to protect encapsulated geraniol for a longer period. The highest antimicrobial efficacy of geraniol microcapsules was observed against <i>L. innocua</i> at pH 5. Therefore, the influence of pH on the functional property of geraniol microcapsules could be highlighted beside the targeted bacterial strain.
