Preparation and Stability Evaluation of Pumpkin Seed Oil Microcapsules Using Pumpkin Seed Protein-Modified Flaxseed Gum as Wall Material by Zhanxia LIU, Hongbin WU

“…The in vitro digestion release characteristics of PSP/FG microcapsules showed that the stable pumpkin seed oil microcapsules had the function of controlling the release of pumpkin seed oil, which was characterized by a lower release rate in simulated gastric juice and a significant increase in release rate in simulated intestinal juice, thus effectively releasing pumpkin seed oil. By evaluating the performance of the microcapsule wall materials, it was indicated that the pumpkin seed protein-modified flaxseed gum composite wall material could be used as a good nano-level stable delivery carrier for pumpkin seed oil and improve its bioavailability. …”
