Table 2.
Moisture, solubility, and swelling % of the prepared CG, CG/G, G microencapsulates.
| Microencapsulate | Moisture (%) | Solubility (%) | Swelling (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CG | 7.0 ± 0.30a | 33 ± 1.3a | 115 ± 2.0a |
| CG/G | 4.0 ± 0.12b | 37 ± 1.8b | 121 ± 4.0b |
| G | 10.0 ± 0.24c | 50 ± 2.0c | 108 ± 3.3a |
Values are provided as means ± SD (n = 4). Different letters in the same column are statistically different at (P < 0.01).
CG, Chia gum-microencapsulate; CG/G, Chia gum-gelatin microencapsulate; G, gelatin- microencapsulate.
