Abstract

The application of antioxidants in foods is constant practice and has sparked numerous researches. Ascorbic acid is an effective antioxidant, and that still have nutritional appeal, due to its vitamin function. However, this compound is quite unstable and their application is difficult in some foods. The microencapsulation will be studied as an alternative to solve such problems. Thus, the objective of this work will be to prepare microcapsules of Ascorbic acid by the method of double emulsion followed by complex coacervation, using gelatin and gum Arabic as wall material. The treatments will be assessed with respect to morphology, particle size, water activity and stability. The treatments examined in the first phase of the project, that present the best results will be applied on sausage and compared to products made with free Ascorbic acid and sodium erythorbate. It is expected to get an innovative product, which confers oxidative stability and appeal of "healthiness" emulsified meat products without compromising its quality or process. (AU)
