Here we show a method for the preparation of edible liquid marbles and capsules covered with fatty acid crystals and triacylglycerol crystals. We prepared liquid marbles using a simple method; namely, a water droplet was rolled on lipid crystals in petri dishes. The resulting marbles were converted to capsules covered with a lipid shell by heating. These marbles were stable not only on glass surfaces but also on water surfaces because they had rigid hydrophobic exteriors. The lifetime of the liquid marbles on water depended on the alkyl chain length of the lipid molecules and the pH of the water. These findings are useful for applying liquid marbles to food, cosmetic, and medical products. Key words: Liquid marble, Hydrophobic material, Fatty acid, Triacylglycerol 1 INTRODUCTION oral formulations becomes possible. Liquid marbles and dry water are water droplets covered Here, we propose a method for the preparation of liquid with solid particles such as hydrophobic silica and fluorine marbles covered with fatty acid crystals and triacylglycerol resin particles; here, liquid marbles are macroscopic single crystals because these lipid crystals are suitable stabilizing water droplets, while dry water is a white powder contain- agents for edible liquid marbles.

Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) oil is a reliable source of both omega-3 and omega-6 and its encapsulation must be better evaluated as an effort to increase the number of foodstuffs containing PUFAs to consumers. In this work chia oil was extracted and encapsulated in stearic acid microparticles by the hot homogenization technique. UV-Vis spectroscopy coupled with Multivariate Curve Resolution with Alternating Least-Squares methodology demonstrated that no oil degradation or tocopherol loss occurred during heating. After lyophilization, the fatty acids profile of the oil-loaded microparticles was determined by gas chromatography and compared to in natura oil.

  • Estimation Methods for Thermophysical Properties of Camelina Sativa Crude Oil
    U.P.B. Sci. Bull., Series B, Vol. 78, Iss. 1, 2016 ISSN 1454-2331 ESTIMATION METHODS FOR THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CAMELINA SATIVA CRUDE OIL Andreea Cristina PETCU1, Valentin PLEŞU2, Corneliu BERBENTE3 Camelina is one of the most promising sources of renewable fuels. The crude oil obtained from this plant can be chemically treated and converted into bio-diesel or bio-kerosene. To study straight camelina oil combustion process is very important to know as many of its properties as possible. In this article, estimation methods of several thermophysical properties, such as: critical properties, density, thermal conductivity, and specific heat are presented. Where it was possible, the estimated values have been compared with experimental measurements, thus validating the used method. Keywords: camelina oil, estimation methods, thermophysical properties 1. Introduction Camelina oil is a new, promising feedstock for second generation bio- fuels. The bio-kerosene obtained from camelina oil meets all the performance and safety requirements so that it can be used in aviation. Blends of classic aviation fuel / bio-kerosene obtained from camelina oil have been successfully tested on fighting planes and passenger planes [1]. According to European directives 2003/30/CE and 2009/28/CE, crude vegetable oils are also considered biofuels. In the specialized literature, there is scarce information regarding the combustion process of crude vegetable oils, in particular camelina oil. The possibility of using straight camelina oil as fuel for terrestrial applications has been taken in consideration because the process of obtaining the vegetable oil is cheaper and less time consuming then obtaining biofuels from vegetable oils.
