The invention discloses a peanut red
skin procyanidine microcapsule as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of microcapsules. The peanut red
skin procyanidine microcapsule is prepared by the following method: adding peanut red
skin procyanidine
powder into a
wall material solution, and uniformly mixing to obtain a mixed
emulsion; and homogenizing the mixed
emulsion, and freeze-
drying to obtain the peanut red skin procyanidine microcapsule. The
inulin and the
whey protein are used as wall materials, the peanut red skin procyanidine is used as a core material, and the proportion of the
inulin and the
whey protein is optimized, so that the prepared microcapsule can weaken the influence of the peanut red skin procyanidine
powder on the color and luster of food and improve the
environmental stability and the
gastrointestinal tract slow release characteristic of the microcapsule. And meanwhile, the
prebiotic inulin is used as a
wall material raw material, so that the intestinal
microecology can be improved, and the intestinal health can be promoted.
