Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for producing nano-capsules and beadlets containing phytonutrients derived from palm oil. The phytonutrients are such as tocotrienols, coenzyme Q and carotenes. In the present invention, the phytonutrients are encapsulated by three different processes. Sizes of the nano-capsules and nano-beadlets are in nano-range (20nm-500nm) which contributes to their stability. Shell materials are used for encapsulation of the phytonutrients. The shell materials are specially chosen to render slow property of the phytonutrients for better adsorption in vivo. Slow release of the encapsulated phytonutrients is able to ensure the phytonutrients are slowly released and remained longer in body for more efficient adsorption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for producing nano-capsules and nano- beadlets containing phytonutrients derived from palm oil. The phytonutrients are such as tocols, tocotrienols, a-tocotrienols, γ-tocotrienols, δ-tocotrienol, coenzyme Q, β-carotene and carotenes. In the present invention, the phytonutrients are encapsulated by three different methods. It should be understood, however, that the disclosed preferred embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, the details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as the basis for the claims and for teaching one skilled in the art of the invention.
The first method called for the use of a shell material to encapsulate the phytonutrients derived from palm oil. The shell material may not be of plant origin. The shell material can be of polymer, sugar, gum or any combination thereof. Preferred shell materials include polymer of carbohydrates and phospholipids. Encapsulation of phytonutrients is carried out by way of dissolving the phytonutrients first in a solvent, preferably non-polar solvent. The non-polar solvent is hexane, heptane, chloroform or any combination thereof. Then adding at least one shell material and at least one additive into the mixture obtained above. The at least one additive is polymeric. Stable oil in water emulsion is achieved by dispersing the dissolved phytonutrients in an aqueous solution (i.e. buffer solution) in the presence of an emulsifier or a surface active agent. The solvent is then removed by distillation under vacuum or flash evaporation after which, homogenization under high pressure, i.e. more than 50bar and/or ultrasound is employed to yield emulsion of very fine particle size. The emulsion is dried and encapsulated phytonutrients is thus obtained. The encapsulated phytonutrients are tested for encapsulation efficiency and stability over time. The encapsulated phytonutrients are in form of nano-capsules with nano range of 20nm-500nm.
The second method of encapsulation involves first, formation of stable oil in water emulsion. The steps involved in forming the stable oil in water emulsion are similar as the first method as mentioned above. The emulsion is then homogenized under high pressure, i.e. more than 50bar or using ultrasound. The homogenized emulsion is then sprayed into a solution of methanolic calcium chloride by using an atomizer. The solution can be of a salt solution. Insoluble nano-beadlets is thus formed. The nano-beadlets are having nano size of 20nm-500nm. The third method involves formation of encapsulation of the palm phytonutrients using a combination of shell materials. The steps involved forming the stable oil in water emulsion are similar as the first method as mentioned above. The shell materials consist but not confined to a sugar and gum. High pressure, i.e. more than 50bar or ultrasonic homogenization resulted in an emulsion of fine particle size. The emulsion was then dried, resulting in solid encapsulants. The solid encapsulants are having nano size of 20nm-500nm.
Nano-capsules with slow release property over period of 4-6 hours are prepared by mixing or coating the beadlets or solid encapsulants with another polymeric shell material. The polymeric material is thus chosen from edible, food grade materials. The beadlets or solid encapsulants are introduced / dissolved in a shell material solution. Thereafter at least one additive is added into -the mixture obtained above and stirred. The beadlets or solid encapsulants are filtered from the mixture and dried. The beadlets or solid encapsulants are having nano size of 20nm-500nm. Releasing property of the resultant capsules were studied and recorded.
