Results are expressed in mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different lower case superscript letters in the same row indicate statistical difference between the encapsulating agents (p ≤ 0.05) according to Student’s t test. Different capital superscript letters in the same column indicate statistical difference between days of storage (p ≤ 0.05) according to Tukey’s test
