چکیده

As amoras-pretas apresentam coloração atrativa devido à presença de antocianinas, porém a utilização destes pigmentos como corante natural é difícil, pois alguns fatores, especialmente pH>3, provocam sua descoloração. Por outro lado, a microencapsulação tem sido utilizada na indústria para proteger ingredientes ativos. Os objetivos deste estudo foram estabelecer as condições de encapsulação de antocianinas de amora-preta, avaliar as características das cápsulas, bem como a liberação de antocianinas. Três polissacarídeos (curdlana, pectina e alginato de sódio) foram avaliados como material de parede para obter cápsulas por gelificação. A curdlana foi escolhida, pois foi a única goma capaz de formar um gel firme sob baixo pH. As cápsulas apresentaram forma esférica e multinucleada, e a eficiência de encapsulação variou entre 80,3 e 96,7%. As curvas de liberação apresentaram comportamento cinético de primeira ordem, com forte efeito “burst” com 80 a 100% das antocianinas liberadas em solução pH 1 após 20 min.

Development and evaluation of floating alginate microspheres for oral delivery of anthocyanins – A preliminary investigation

The goal of this study was to develop floating microspheres that could be used as gastroretentive systems for the delivery of anthocyanins (ACNs). These compounds are absorbed in the stomach and small intestine, and insufficient residence time in these organs could result in limited absorption and contribute to degradation. The microparticles containing freeze-dried haskap berry extract (321.96...
