- Novel electrosprayed liposome-protein encapsulation structures were developed.
- Curcumin was successfully incorporated within the developed microstructures.
- Microencapsulation considerably stabilized curcumin in aqueous solution.
- The whey protein coating provided enhanced protection to liposomal curcumin.
- The hybrid vehicles significantly increased the bioaccessibility of curcumin.
Novel food-grade hybrid encapsulation structures based on the entrapment of phosphatidylcholine liposomes, within a WPC matrix through electrospraying, were developed and used as delivery vehicles for curcumin. The loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of the proposed system was studied, and the suitability of the approach to stabilize curcumin and increase its bioaccessibility was assessed. Results showed that the maximum loading capacity of the liposomes was around 1.5% of curcumin, although the loading capacity of the hybrid microencapsulation structures increased with the curcumin content by incorporation of curcumin microcrystals upon electrospraying. Microencapsulation of curcumin within the proposed hybrid structures significantly increased its bioaccessibility (â¼1.7-fold) compared to the free compound, and could successfully stabilize it against degradation in PBS (pHÂ =Â 7.4). The proposed approach thus proved to be a promising alternative to produce powder-like functional ingredients.
