Abstract
Flavor encapsulation was investigated by spray drying with dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. The yeast cells, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which were by-products in the production of β-glucan, were used in the encapsulation of d-limonene and ethyl hexanoate. Effects of incubation time, temperature, and spray drying conditions on the encapsulated flavor content after spray drying were investigated. The encapsulation rate constant was 0.69 hâ1 for d-limonene and ethyl hexanoate. High contents of both flavors were obtained at an incubation temperature of 40 °C for 4 h and an inlet air temperature of 200 °C for spray drying. Inlet air temperature did not significantly affect encapsulation of flavor content for ethyl hexanoate. Flavor content obtained was 37 wt% for d-limonene and 49 wt% for ethyl hexanoate at an inlet air temperature 200 °C. Thus, yeast could be used as a successful flavor-encapsulant by spray drying.
