The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different wall materials and the processing parameters on the microencapsulation of olive oil by spray drying. Casein, maltodextrin and guar gum were used to produce olive microcapsules. Different combination of wall materials (casein/maltodextrin at 1:1 ratio, casein/maltodextrin at 1:2 ratio, maltodextrin/guar gum and casein/maltodextrin/guar gum) and inlet air temperature (140, 160 and 180˚C), for a total of 4 combination of emulsions were prepared. | Effect of wall materials and inlet air temperatures on physical properties of microencapsulated of olive oil powder
