Characterization and shelf life of β-carotene loaded solid lipid microparticles produced with stearic acid and sunflower oil
Solid lipid microparticles were tested as microencapsulation systems for protecting β-carotene from degradation. Blends of long-chain (C18) solid lipids (70% stearic acid) and sunflower oil (30%) were used to produce lipid microparticles encapsulating the carotenoid. Polysorbate 80 (4%) was employed...
