Encapsulation of cinnamon and thyme essential oils components (cinnamaldehyde and thymol) in β-cyclodextrin: Effect of interactions with water on complex stability
Thymol and cinnamaldehyde formed inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) upon mixing the components in aqueous media and subsequent freeze-drying, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. The samples were stored at constant relative humidities (RH) from 22% to 97%, at 25 °C. The rel...

| Sumario: | Thymol and cinnamaldehyde formed inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) upon mixing the components in aqueous media and subsequent freeze-drying, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. The samples were stored at constant relative humidities (RH) from 22% to 97%, at 25 °C. The release of encapsulated compounds was determined following the melting enthalpy of each guest. Water sorption isotherms for β-CD and the complexes showed constant and low water sorption at RH < 80%, then the uptake of water increased abruptly. The amount of sorbed water at each RH was smaller for the complexes than for β-CD. The guest molecules displaced water molecules from inside the cavity of β-CD. No thymol or cinnamaldehyde release was detected at RH < 84%, and it increased abruptly from 84% RH, coincidentally with the abrupt increase of sorbed water. Water sorption significantly affects β-CD complexes stability, which is thus governed by the shape of the water sorption isotherm. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
