Abstract

Purpose of the completion of on the microencapsulation process of Spirulina LEB-18, aimed at selecting the best protocol for the microencapsulation of microalgae with high protein value. the microencapsulation of Spirulina LEB-18 were performed through different processes by ionic gelation, after realized the morphological characterization of particle optical microscopy. The protocols evaluated with respect to particles obtained by ionic gelation showed different particle sizes. Analysis by light microscopy enabled us to verify if there was, in fact, the encapsulation of Spirulina LEB-18. The samples were close to spherical shapes, indicating that Spirulina LEB-18 was encapsulated.
