Abstract
This study was carried out in order to optimize the condition of microencapsulation
with natural sea buckthorn fruit oil as core and chitosan-arabic gum as wall material by
coacervation method using response surface analysis. As independent variables, the rate of
sea buckthorn fruit oil, the rate of emulsifier (Tween 80), stirring speed, and stirring duration
entered the regression models to maximize microencapsulation yield, and to minimize
particle diameter mean and particle size distribution. As results, the models suggested that
4.48(wt%) as sea buckthorn fruit oil rate, 4.58(wt%) as the rate of Tween 80, 10,354 rpm as
stirring speed, 3.34 second as stirring duration could be the optimized conditions to produce
chitosan-arabic gum microcapsules containing sea buckthorn fruit oil with better predictable
for particle size diameter of microcapsules. The microcapsules prepared under the
optimized conditions were shown to have thermal stability by TGA and to exhibit a little
release rate of oil till 70 hours have passed.
