Biopolymers In Nutraceutical.epub
Pharmaceutical formulations that act as controlled drug delivery systems requires biodegradable polymers that can be metabolized or excreted by the body as non-toxic compounds [4]. In this way, the study of biopolymers aiming pharmaceutical purposes and others biological applications is an attractive research field.

In the process of microencapsulating food ingredients by spray-drying, carbohydrates, gums, biopolymers, colloids, waxes, proteins, and starches have been used as wall materials since they have low viscosities, high solid content, and high solubility (Cano-Chauca et al., 2011). The choice of material to use depends on the physical properties of the core (porosity, solubility), the wall (viscosity, glass transition temperature, film-forming capacity), and the compatibility of the core with the wall. Also, the conditions of encapsulation and the end use of the product must be taken into account (Costa et al., 2015). The microcapsules obtained can be made up of one or more layers that contain one or more cores of spherical or irregular shape (Saifullah et al., 2019) (figure 1). 041b061a72
