Study on the Processing of Microencapsulated Garlic Powder

Microencapsulated garlic powder could protect the bioactivity material from destroying.In this paper the effect of different process conditions on encapsulation yield and encapsulation efficiency was studied.The results showed that the optimum process conditions were that the particle range of garlic powder was 30-100 mesh,the concentration of EC was 3%,the ratio of garlic powder/wall materials was 4∶1,the embedded quantity of garlic powder was 80%,and the ratio of wall/PEG was 4∶1.The encapsulation yield and encapsulation efficiency of microencapsulating garlic powder was 95.0% and 96.8% respectively.
