Abstract

The main objective of this study was to develop an affordable bioactive food ingredient from a blend of pressed pomegranate seed oil (PSO) and soybean oil (SO) microencapsulated by spray drying.Compared to liquid oil blends, the microencapsulated powder presented higher oxidative stability (42%) due to the effective protection of the carrier agents and higher antioxidant capacity (two-fold) due to the antioxidant characteristic of the applied carrier material, proving to be an adequate alternative to associate the pressed pomegranate and soybean oils.
