Proportions of the triple wall materials were optimized in mixture design using the quadratic model. Effects of Ultra-Turrax and ultrasonic emulsifications on microencapsulation efficiencies were additionally characterized in the optimized wall material combinations. The microcapsules produced were investigated for particle size distribution, moisture content, water activity, bulk density, and oxidative stability. Results showed that the combination of modified starch (Hi-Cap® 100)/Arabic gum/whey protein concentrate (4/0/1, w/w/w) provided the highest efficiency in flaxseed oil microencapsulation. However, the only successful combination in preventing flaxseed oil oxidation was maltodextrine/Arabic gum/whey protein concentrate (4/0/1, w/w/w). The microcapsules produced by ultrasonic emulsification had higher microencapsulation efficiency than that of Ultra-Turrax emulsification. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.en10.1080/07373937.2013.795964info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFlaxseed oilMicroencapsulationMixture designSpray dryingWall materialArticle311213621373Q1
