Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a preparation method and application of microcapsules, in particular to a preparation method and application of microcapsules which can be used in the fields of food and medicine based on the gelation of low-ester pectin and calcium ions. technical background
[0002] Pectin is a kind of hydrocolloid extracted from plant cell walls. After ingestion, it is decomposed and utilized by microorganisms in the colon. It has a long history of safe application in the food industry. Pectin can be divided into high-ester pectin and low-ester pectin according to the degree of esterification. High-ester pectin can form irreversible gels in an acidic environment with high sugar content, while low-ester pectin can only form gels at very low solution pH or in the presence of divalent cations. The monovalent salt of low-ester pectin with good water solubility can form a stable gel with calcium ions in a wide pH range, and the introduction of c...
