CaCO3 loaded lipid microspheres prepared by the solid-in-oil-in-water emulsions technique with propylene glycol alginate and xanthan gum

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is difficult to deliver in food matrices due to its poor solubility. In this work, CaCO3 powders were encapsulated into Solid-in-Oil-in-Water (S/O/W) emulsions to fabricate delivery systems. The impact of the concentrations of propylene glycol alginate and Xanthan gum (PGA-...

description Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is difficult to deliver in food matrices due to its poor solubility. In this work, CaCO3 powders were encapsulated into Solid-in-Oil-in-Water (S/O/W) emulsions to fabricate delivery systems. The impact of the concentrations of propylene glycol alginate and Xanthan gum (PGA-XG) complexes on the physical stability and structural characteristics of S/O/W calcium-lipid emulsions microspheres were studied. The S/O/W calcium-lipid emulsions were characterized by the particle size, zeta potential, physical stability, and apparent viscosity. The S/O/W calcium-lipid emulsion has higher physical stability (including 6-week storage at 4°C), smaller mean particle size (7.60 ± 1.10 μm), and higher negative zeta-potential (45.91 ± 0.97 mV) when the concentration of PGA-XG complexes was 0.8 wt%. Moreover, Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images confirmed that the CaCO3 powders were encapsulated in the O phase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that S/O/W calcium-lipid emulsion was spherical. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis further confirmed that CaCO3 was loaded in the S/O/W calcium-lipid emulsion as an amorphous state. The formation mechanism of S/O/W calcium-lipid microspheres was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectrum analysis. This study provided new ideas that accelerate the creation of a novel type of calcium preparation with higher quality utilization.
