To overcome this, UN was hydrolyzed using enzymes Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, Alcalase-Flavourzyme and Neutrase-Flavourzyme at 50°C for 0 min, 30 min, 60 min and 120 min to form hydrolyzed proteins A, F, N, AF and NF, respectively. All hydrolyzed proteins had lower apparent viscosity and higher solubility than UN. Foaming capacity of A was highest, followed by NF, N, and AF. Hydrolyzed proteins N60, A60, NF60 and AF60 were prepared by hydrolyzing UN for 60 min and used further for microencapsulation. At 20% oil loading (on a total solid basis), the encapsulated powder N60 had the highest microencapsulation efficiency (ME = 56.2). A decrease in ME occurred as oil loading increased to 40%. To improve the ME of N60, >90%, UN and maltodextrin were added. Flowability and particle size distribution of microencapsulated powders with >90% microencapsulation efficiency and morphology of ...
