Abstract
Generally encapsulation will develop an impermeable barrier to oxygen diffusion, thus it has been widely used to protect fish oil from oxidation. It also used in the controlled release of ingredients to improve the functionality of food additives and expanding the application range of food ingredients. Several methods have been used to encapsulate fish oil, but spray drying is the most common method. Electro spraying for ultrathin coating, spray granulation and fluid bed film coating, encapsulation using ultrasonic atomizer are the emerging methods for encapsulation of fish oil.
