Abstract

The microcapsules according to the present invention are heat-resistant and shear-resistant, and each comprise a core material, a protein coating layer encapsulating the core material, and a wall material encapsulating the protein coating layer. The core material contains an oil or fat, and the wall material is formed by heat-curing a colloid. The microcapsules according to the present invention first encapsulate the oil or fat in the internal phase with the protein, thereby providing an internal environment that blocks moisture and oxygen. Furthermore, the endothermic phase change at the melting point is utilized to improve the viability and stability of the active substance during the heat treatment process. The wall material further protects the microcapsules, allowing them to have high stability and high-temperature resistance, as well as excellent shear resistance and acid resistance.

[0003] This application claims priority based on a Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on December 30, 2022, bearing application number 202211734622.8 and entitled "Heat-resistant and acid-resistant oil and fat composition, microcapsules, their manufacturing method and application," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0004] The present invention belongs to the food technology field, and particularly relates to heat-resistant and shear-resistant microcapsules, their manufacturing method and applications. [Background technology]

[0005] Microcapsules are tiny containers made of natural or synthetic polymers (wall materials). They not only confine and protect liquid droplets, particles, or gases (core materials) within the capsules, but also enhance the performance and activity of the core materials by selecting or preparing appropriate wall materials. Therefore, the microencapsulation method has excellent adaptability and advanced functionality. Since their introduction in the 1930s, microcapsules have undergone extensive research and have made great progress. They are now widely used in fields such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, pesticides and fertilizers, dyes and pigments, paints, adhesives, textiles, inks, and additives.

[0006] When volatile, oxidative, light-sensitive, or heat-sensitive substances are microencapsulated, they are protected from direct contact with light, heat, or air, their volatilization and oxidation are inhibited, and their light (heat) sensitivity is reduced.

[0007] Vitamin A is an important drug for preventing and treating night blindness, and vitamin D2 promotes intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, but these are easily decomposed under ultraviolet light and easily oxidized in the air, reducing their effectiveness. Vitamin C is a major treatment for scurvy, but its properties are unstable and it is easily destroyed by heat. Therefore, by microencapsulating vitamins, it is possible to extend the shelf life of vitamin preparations.

[0008] Probiotics have many benefits, including improving the intestinal microbial balance, boosting immunity, fighting tumors, and lowering cholesterol. However, during the processing and storage of commercial products, parameters such as mechanical force, temperature, water activity, oxygen gas content, and pH change can all have a negative impact on the survival of probiotics. Furthermore, in order to colonize and grow in the intestine, probiotics must maintain their activity even after being digested in the gastrointestinal tract (generally, bacterial activity lasts for 10 years). 6 CFU / g or 10 6 (It is believed that the CFU / mL level must be maintained at or above 1000.) In order for probiotics to survive during production and processing, storage, and digestion in the intestinal tract and exert their beneficial effects on human health, it is necessary to design specific encapsulation systems, such as microcapsules, that can withstand the external processing environment, and then transport them to the desired location in the intestinal tract where they can successfully colonize and grow.

[0009] However, as raw materials for food and pharmaceuticals, they must be subjected to high-temperature sterilization during production (for example, the sterilization process to kill most microorganisms requires relatively high temperatures), and during this process, the wall material often melts, causing the active substance to separate into the outer layer, which then becomes inactive when exposed to high temperatures.

[0010] Furthermore, food processing often requires high-temperature stirring processes. For example, in the production of processed cheese, the raw materials for the processed cheese must be placed in a melting pot and heated and stirred. This often results in the loss of activity of physiologically active substances, including probiotics and lactoferrin, due to the high temperature. Furthermore, due to the high temperature and stirring, typical microcapsule products containing embedded physiologically active substances are subject to shear forces caused by the stirring action, resulting in the physiologically active substances losing their activity upon contact with high temperatures. Therefore, how to enable physiologically active substances to withstand the harsh conditions of food processing while maximally maintaining their original biological activity is a technical challenge that must be addressed as soon as possible.
