Microencapsulation of vitamin E: Optimization and Characterization of Complex Coacervation Conditions Using Response Surface Methodology

In this study, high efficiency vitamin E microencapsulation was aimed with the complex coacervation method. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the microencapsulation efficiency of vitamin E. The microencapsulation efficiency of microencapsulated vitamin E was investigated in terms of two variables, including the amount of core material and surfactant concentration (SDS). According to the RSM results, the experimental condition with the highest efficiency (93.42%) was found in 4.00 g of core material and 0.50% surfactant in the experiment set. Morphological and chemical analyzes of microcapsules were characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).
