Characterization of microcapsule containing black cumin seed (Nigella sativa) extract as preventive antioxidant

Abstract

The aim of this analysis was to complete antioxidant activity in microcapsule and to develop black cumin seed extract microcapsules by spray drying technique. The analysis was performed using a non-factorial completely randomized design. Firstly, microcapsules were made with 4 formulations using maltodextrin and soy protein as coating materials for the microcapsule and with black cumin extract and water. Formulation were using in this research were formula A (28,57:14,29:42,86:200), formula B (28,57:14,29:51,43:220), formula C (28,57:14,29:60,00:240), formula D (28,57:14,29:68,57:260). The analysed parameters moisture content, solubility and antioxidant activity (IC50 value). The result showed that the addition black seed extract provides a very significant different (P<0,01) effect on content of moisture, solubility, and antioxidant activity. The best formulation was formula D (28,57:14,29:68,57:260) with result activity antioxidant (IC50) 22,29 μg/ml.
