Extracción y microencapsulación de aceite de linaza (linum usitatissimum) para la adición en una matriz alimenticia

Abstract

In the present investigation, of the flax seeds was extracted oil, 32 percent and cake 64 percent, by means of spray drying the flaxseed oil was microencapsulated in a matrix of gum arabic and maltodextrin at a temperature of 150 Celsius degrees. and a 30 percent load of linseed oil, reaching an average microencapsulation efficiency of 59.19 percent. By means of physical and chemical analysis, the humidity was evaluated, it was below the 10 percent established as the maximum limit for powdered products. By means of gas chromatography was analyzed that the content of linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, it does not modify after the microencapsulation process, these results were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy where it demonstrated that linseed oil is found inside the microcapsules. The percentage of ground flaxseed instant Mycucayo cereal was replaced by flaxseed oil microcapsules of the best treatment and the cake; it samples were subjected to oxidative stability analysis, the result was an increase in the useful life of the product under study.
