The invention relates to a method for preparing double-wall fresh ginger volatile oil microcapsules.The method includes the steps that fresh ginger volatile oil is dispersed in an inner layer wall material and homogenized at normal temperature and high pressure, and a primary suspension is prepared; secondly, the primary suspension is dispersed in an outer layer wall material, emulsifier is added, the primary suspension is homogenized at normal temperature and high pressure, and a secondary suspension is obtained; thirdly, the secondary suspension is dried, and the double-wall fresh ginger volatile oil microcapsules are obtained.The embedding rate of the prepared fresh ginger microcapsules is 81-98%, in the preparation process, the technology that fresh ginger volatile oil is supercritically extracted and normal-temperature double-layer embedding, high-pressure homogenization and freezing or spray drying are conducted is adopted, so that the product embedding rate is high, the embedding effect is good, flowability is good, stability of effective components of the fresh ginger volatile oil can be improved, bioavailability is high, and the method is used in the food and health-care product field.
