Encapsulation of a free-solvent extract of lycopene in alginate-Ca(II) beads containing sugars and biopolymers
Abstract Background The purpose of the present study was to enhance the stability toward isomerization and control the release of an encapsulated free-solvent extract of lycopene, obtained from a nonconventional natural source, by means of alginate beads containing sugar (trehalose) and biopolymers...
