Evaluation of feed flow rate on the physicochemical properties of fish oil microcapsules

Fish oil is one of the sources of fatty acids and plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Regular intake of fish oil can prevent cardiovascular-related disease and improve the development of infants' and young children's brain functions. However, fish oil is highly pro...

Abdul Mudalip, S. K. M. Arshad, Z. I. Che Man, R. QD Chemistry R Medicine (General) Fish oil is one of the sources of fatty acids and plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Regular intake of fish oil can prevent cardiovascular-related disease and improve the development of infants' and young children's brain functions. However, fish oil is highly prone to oxidative deterioration, leading to higher shelf-stability reduction.

The present study focuses on the physicochemical properties of fish oil microcapsules by spray drying techniques with different feed flow rates.

It was observed that the moisture content and particle size distribution were increased from 3.15  0.01 % to 3.54  0.06 % and 27.621  0.320 μm to 50.636  1.321 μm from the feed flow rate of 280 mL/h to 444 mL/h, respectively.

Evaluation of feed flow rate on the physicochemical properties of fish oil microcapsules
description Fish oil is one of the sources of fatty acids and plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Regular intake of fish oil can prevent cardiovascular-related disease and improve the development of infants' and young children's brain functions.

The present study focuses on the physicochemical properties of fish oil microcapsules by spray drying techniques with different feed flow rates.
