Abstract

Preparation of alginate-soy protein isolate (AL/SPI) complex beads containing essential oil of thyme was carried out by emulsification of thyme oil in aqueous sodium alginate solution blended with SPI solution, followed by atomization via electrostatic extrusion and gelification with calcium ions. The process parameters were optimized by variation of the alginate (1-2.5 wt.%) and SPI (0-1.5 wt.%) concentrations. Dry alginate-SPI particles exhibited wrinkle surface while shape distortion of hydrogel beads occurred with ≥1.5 wt.% alginate concentration, whereas SPI induced reduction of the particle size. Encapsulation efficiency of 72-80 % based on total polyphenols was achieved. In SGF the samples exhibited oil release of 42-55 % (due to matrix shrinkage and proteins degradation by pepsin activity), while the rest was delivered in SIF within 2.5 h simultaneously with swelling and degradation of the matrix.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 November 2018.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Carbohydrate Polymers
#3,933
of 5,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#264,362
of 340,079 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Carbohydrate Polymers
#62
of 90 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,159 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 340,079 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 90 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
