Particle characterization and oxidative stability A1 Melgosa Gómez, Rodrigo A1 Benito Román, Oscar A1 Sanz Díez, Mª Teresa A1 Paz Barragán, Esther de A1 Beltrán Calvo, Sagrario K1 Omega–3 K1 Supercritical carbon dioxide K1 Emulsion K1 Oxidation K1 Ingeniería química K1 Chemical engineering K1 Alimentos K1 Food AB Particles from Gas-Saturated Solutions (PGSS)-drying has been used as a green alternative to encapsulate omega–3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n–3 PUFAs) at mild, non-oxidative conditions. PGSS-dried particles have been compared to those obtained by conventional drying methods such as spray-drying and freeze-drying, finding encapsulation efficiencies (EE) up to 98% and spherical morphology for PGSS- and spray-dried particles. Freeze-dried powders showed irregular morphology and EE from 95.8 to 98.6%, depending on the freezing method. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed glass-transition and melting peaks of OSA-starch and a cold-crystallization peak corresponding to the encapsulated n–3 PUFA concentrate. Compared to conventionally dried powders, PGSS-dried microparticles showed lower primary and secondary oxidation after 28 days of storage at 4 °C. Ascorbic acid addition combined with the mild processing conditions of PGSS-drying yielded particles with a maximum peroxide value of 2.5 meq O2/kg oil after 28 days of storage at 4 °C.
