This study was designed to find the optimum conditions for isoflavone or beta-galactosidase microencapsulation and to examine the release efficiency of microcapsules in simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Coating materials were either medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) or polyglycerol monostearate (PGMS). The highest rate of microencapsulation was found at 15:1 (w/w) ratio of MCT to isoflavone or beta-galactosidase as 70.2 or 75.4%, respectively. When PGMS was used as the coating material, 91.5% beta-galactosidase was microencapsulated with 15:1 mixture (w/w). In vitro study, less than 6.3-9.3% of isoflavone was released in simulated gastric fluid (pH 2-5) during 1 h incubation. Comparatively, isoflavone release increased dramatically to 87.8% at pH 8 for 1 h incubation in simulated intestinal fluid and was maintained thereafter. The release of beta-galactosidase showed a similar trend to that of isoflavone. It appeared in the range of 12.3-15.2% at pH 2-5; however, it increased significantly to 80.6% as the highest value at pH 8. Among the released isoflavones, 53.5% was converted into the aglycone form of isoflavone at pH 8 for 3 h incubation. The present study indicated that isoflavone or beta-galactosidase could be microencapsulated with fatty acid esters and released effectively in simulated intestinal condition.
For centuries surface tension (gamma) and viscosity (eta) data have been measured with individual instruments consuming much time and materials. Thus the two different types of survismeters have been designed and made of borosil glass material for surface tension and viscosity data to rationalize frictional and cohesive forces, respectively. Friccohesity (sigma (sm(-1), second per meter)) is derived from Fric of frictional and cohesity of cohesive forces of the liquid respectively, and denoted by rational coefficient a eta/gamma (sigma). The values of the friccohesity are correlated to the dipole moment of liquids and their plot gives a standard calibration curve along with an equation of the curve with definite values of the coefficients, the friccohesity values are put on the calibration curve to retrieve the dipole moment values. Here, the sigma values for each of dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide and acetronitrile solvents along with their 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 mol kg(-1) aqueous solutions, respectively, were determined at 293.15K and plotted against their dipole moment values for standard calibration curve. The range of the dipole moment values for calibration curve is pre-decided and the sigma values for homogenous solutions of compositions below their saturation point can be measured with +/-1 x 10(-5)sm(-1).
