Fabrication of crosslinked spray dried alginate microparticles for encapsulation of bioactives by Lim, Yu Lin

“…In this study, crosslinked calcium alginate microparticles were successfully fabricated using a novel one-step spray drying method. The one step fabrication eliminates the need for multiple crosslinking and drying steps, as in traditional calcium alginate microparticles production. …”

Ultralight and Highly Elastic Graphene/Lignin-Derived Carbon Nanocomposite Aerogels with Ultrahigh Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance by Zhang, Youfang, Wang, Peiyu, Pei, Yongmao, Chen, Mingji, Lu, Xuehong, Zeng, Zhihui, Wang, Changxian, Seyed Shahabadi, Seyed Ismail

“…Ultralight and highly elastic reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/lignin-derived carbon (LDC) composite aerogels with aligned micron-sized pores and cell walls are prepared using a facile freeze-drying method. The presence of a small fraction of LDC in the cell walls enhances the interfacial polarization effect while almost maintaining the amount of charge carriers and conductivity of the cell walls, greatly boosting the wave absorption capability of the cell walls. …”

Microencapsulation of ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) extract as food ingredients: Effect of water ratio and maltodextrin concentration variables on product characteristics by Iwansyah, Ade Chandra, Wardhani, Riuh, Darsih, Cici, Kurniawan, Taufik, Ariani, Dini, Andriana, Yusuf, Karim, Mirwan Ardiansyah, Indriati, Ashri, Luthfiyanti, Rohmah, Hazrulrizawati, Abd Hamid

“…The present work evaluated the characteristics of ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) microcapsule extracts prepared by spray drying method. Different water ratios namely X1 (1:2), X2 (1:5), and X3 (1:10), and maltodextrin concentrations namely Y1 (5%) and Y2 (10%) were applied in a spray drying system to produce microcapsule extracts. …”
