摘要

This study evaluated the encapsulation of carotenogenic extracts from Phaffia rhodozyma NRRL-Y 17268 using spray drying with sodium alginate (SA), soy protein (SP), and xanthan gum (XG), focusing on their potential applications. SP encapsulation was ineffective, while SA and XG formed well-defined microparticles, significantly enhancing compound stability. Process yields ranged from 19.9 to 21.4%, with encapsulation efficiencies of 85.7–92.4%. Thermal analysis confirmed successful encapsulation, and XG showed the highest carotenoid retention during 28-day storage at 4 °C in the absence of light. Color parameters remained stable under light-protected conditions. SA microparticles are suitable for food industry use, while XG is ideal for bioactive applications. This study highlights the potential of P. rhodozyma-based carotenoids as sustainable, natural pigments for functional food applications, marking a significant step in developing targeted, eco-friendly solutions for the food industry.
