Inulin as microencapsulating agent improves physicochemical properties of spray-dried aspalathin-rich green rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) extract with α-glucosidase inhibitory activity

Limiting aspalathin degradation during spray-drying of green rooibos extract (GRE) is crucial to produce a functional food ingredient with antidiabetic properties. Retention of aspalathin in a GRE-inulin mixture (1:1, m/m) was not affected by process conditions (inlet air temperature, feed concentra...
