          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Essential oils have antifungal properties and their volatilization can be controlled through encapsulation. The work aimed at controlling the release kinetics of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) essential oil through ionic gelation encapsulation to assess the potential of inhibiting the development of Penicillium spp. Thyme essential oil was encapsulated with sodium alginate (NaAlg; 0.5 and 1.0 %), calcium chloride (CaCl2; 0.8 and 2.5 %), and different residence times in the calcium solution (10, 20, 40, and 60 min). Batches of capsules were placed in closed containers and volatilization was monitored. The release kinetics was modeled and evaluated through transient regime mass balances. Capsules had diameter and thickness between 2.16-2.81 and 0.20-0.46 mm, respectively. The best systems used AlgNa/CaCl2 - 1.0/0.8 %, with residence in the calcium solution of 10 and 20 min, obtaining encapsulation efficiencies of 94.0 and 90.1 %, respectively. Penicillium digitatum was inhibited through the controlled release of the essential oil.

          RESUMEN Los aceites esenciales tienen propiedades antifúngicas y su volatilización se puede controlar mediante encapsulado. El trabajo tuvo como objetivo controlar la cinética de liberación del aceite esencial de tomillo (Thymus vulgaris) mediante el encapsulado con gelación iónica para evaluar el potencial de inhibición del desarrollo de Penicillium spp. El aceite esencial de tomillo se encapsuló con alginato de sodio (NaAlg; 0.5 y 1.0 %), cloruro de calcio (CaCl2; 0.8 y 2.5 %) y diferentes tiempos de residencia en la solución de calcio (10, 20, 40 y 60 min). Se colocaron lotes de cápsulas en recipientes cerrados y se controló la volatilización. La cinética de liberación se modeló y evaluó mediante balances de materia en régimen transitorio. Las cápsulas tuvieron diámetro y grosor entre 2.16-2.81 y 0.20-0.46 mm, respectivamente. Los mejores sistemas utilizaron AlgNa/CaCl2 - 1.0/0.8 %, con residencia en la solución de calcio de 10 y 20 min, obteniendo eficiencias de encapsulado de 94.0 y 90.1 %, respectivamente. El hongo Penicillium digitatum se inhibió mediante la liberación controlada del aceite esencial.

          Alginate: properties and biomedical applications.

          Alginate is a biomaterial that has found numerous applications in biomedical science and engineering due to its favorable properties, including biocompatibility and ease of gelation. Alginate hydrogels have been particularly attractive in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications to date, as these gels retain structural similarity to the extracellular matrices in tissues and can be manipulated to play several critical roles. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of general properties of alginate and its hydrogels, their biomedical applications, and suggest new perspectives for future studies with these polymers.

              Alginate gel particles-A review of production techniques and physical properties.

              The application of hydrocolloid gel particles is potentially useful in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Alginate gel particles are one of the more commonly used hydrocolloid gel particles due to them being biocompatible, nontoxic, biodegradable, cheap, and simple to produce. They are particularly valued for their application in encapsulation. Encapsulation in alginate gel particles confers protective benefits to cells, DNA, nutrients, and microbes. Slow release of flavors, minerals, and drugs can also be achieved by encapsulation in gel particles. The particle size and shape of the gel particles are crucial for specific applications. In this review, current methods of producing alginate gel particles will be discussed, taking into account their advantages, disadvantages, scalability, and impact on particle size. The physical properties of alginate gel particles will determine the effectiveness in different application conditions. This review will cover the current understanding of the alginate biopolymer, gelation mechanisms and factors affecting release properties, gel strength, and rheology of the alginate gel particle systems.
