Overview

Evaluates the effects of microencapsulated citrus oils on chocolate's properties, suggesting advantages for flavor and health benefits.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore microencapsulated essential oils from citrus peels incorporated into chocolate and their effects on properties.
  • Microencapsulation using maltodextrin, gum arabic, and casein.
  • Characterization via particle size analysis, SEM, and FTIR spectroscopy.
  • Chocolate formulations with varying microcapsule concentrations (1, 1.5, and 2%).
  • Increased total phenolic content to 188.53 mg Gallic Acid Equivalent/g at 2%.
  • Antioxidant activity showed 96% inhibition and 1905.39 μmol Trolox equivalent/g at 2%.
  • Physicochemical properties remained stable with variations in texture and hardness linked to oil concentration.
