Abstract
Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions may be used to encapsulate, protect, and deliver water-soluble bioactive compounds or nutrients into food products. In this study, W/O emulsions stabilized using an oil-soluble surfactant (polyglycerol polyricinoleate, PGPR) and fat crystal network (rice bran stearin) were shown to be useful for encapsulation and delivery of iron into foods. This strategy may be a promising approach to reduce iron deficiency, a major nutritional deficiency for people with inadequate food supplies.
