Advances in the Preservation of Plant-Based Pigments via Spray Drying—A Systematic Review

Processes, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(3), P. 663 - 663

Published: Feb. 26, 2025

Natural pigments derived from plant sources are notable not only for their vibrant colors but also nutritional value and proven biological activities. Spray drying has emerged as an efficient cost-effective encapsulation technique, offering significant advantages such enhanced stability, improved handling properties, protection against degradation. The diverse range of natural wall materials (e.g., polysaccharides, proteins, lipids) the variability in spray operating conditions provide numerous possibilities to optimize processes. aim this systematic review was evaluate compare key factors influencing plant-based pigments. ResearchGate, Scopus, Google Scholar were searched between July December 2024. Data extraction performed manually using a standardized form collect information on source, pigment type, (type concentration), (in-let/outlet temperatures feed flow rate), process results (encapsulation efficiency, yield, total content). Future advances should focus optimization conditions. Furthermore, innovations formulations, customized combinations polysaccharides proteins or incorporation emulsifiers, could lead more effective scalable processes, supporting development high-performance stable food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical applications.

Solanaceae Leaves as are Sources of Antioxidants and Vitamin D

Food Processing Techniques and Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 197 - 213

Coal miners work underground, which means they are likely to be at greater risk of developing Vitamin D deficiency due reduced sunlight exposure. Other industrial health risks may include oxidative stress, respiratory diseases, and inflammatory pathologies. Leaves nightshade plants rich in antioxidants, can prevent mining-related compensate for vitamin deficiency, counteract stress the cellular level. The article describes component composition leaves various Solanaceae used functional foods fortified with antioxidants D. research featured dried tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), potato (S. tuberosum black nigrum bittersweet dulcamara L.). antioxidant studies involved a comprehensive analysis flavonoids, chlorophyll, carotenoids, volatile organic compounds using ABTS DPPH radicals. content was studied by high performance liquid chromatography. proved compounds. potential confirmed tests. highest belonged (224.7 μg/100 g) (22.8 g), demonstrating good prospects food fortification. tomato, potato, nightshade, makes them promising raw material industry. They able improve diseases.
