ENCAPSULATION ON CA(II)-ALGINATE
BEADS: HYDROGEL STRUCTURE RELATED
TO STABILITY AND RELEASE OF THE
ENCAPSULATED BIOCOMPOUNDS
Encapsulation is being used to improve stability and bioavailability of several
bioactive compounds due to the interest in developing more efficient and
selective methods for their protection and preservation. The incorporation of
bioactive into food products provides many advantages in food preservation
and contributes to the development of functional foods promoted by the ap-
plication of emerging technologies. Thus, in the food industry, encapsulation
not only allows adding value to a product food and generating a source of
new additives with specific properties, but it is also characterized, in addition
to scalability, by the ease of operation, cost effectiveness, and broad regula-
tory acceptance. The study of Ca(II)-alginate hydrogels has generated many
research due to their renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-
toxicity characteristics. In particular, this talk will be focus on recent published
results related to hydrogel structure by SAXS (performed at synchrotron facili-
ties), combination of other biopolymers and sugar, stability of the encapsulat-
ed compounds, release and activity under operational conditions.
