Optimising the Encapsulation of an Aqueous Bitter Melon Extract by Spray-Drying

Optimising the Encapsulation of an Aqueous Bitter Melon Extract by Spray-Drying

Our aim was to optimise the encapsulation of an aqueous bitter melon extract by spray-drying with maltodextrin (MD) and gum Arabic (GA). The response surface methodology models accurately predicted the process yield and retentions of bioactive concentrations and activity (R2 > 0.87). The opti...
