Abstract

This detailed study models the release behavior of reverse enteric spray-dried microcapsules under different pH conditions, to better understand the release of iron fortificants. Spray drying is one of the mechanisms used for microencapsulating water-soluble iron salts with desired coating materials. Food fortification is an inexpensive and effective method to increase the intake of iron without compromising dietary customs. Of three models, the Eudragit coating, due to higher solid content, can handle a higher amount of iron payload. The new methodology developed for studying iron release of microencapsulated microparticles could be used in future applications in food fortification research.
