摘      要：The effectiveness of maltodextrin(10%)and cactus mucilage(CM)(0%,0.25%,0.50%,0.75%,and 1%)as carrier agents was evaluated in the encapsulation of bioactive amaranth *** drying,an efficient encapsulation method,achieved high yields(62.9%-68%).The increase in CM concentration significantly augmented the water absorption index(WAI),bulk density,and hygroscopicity of the encapsulated amaranth ***,it significantly decreased the moisture content,water activity,and water solubility index(WSI).The glass transition temperatures(40℃),Hausner ratio(HR),and Carr’s index(CI)values indicated the suitability of powders for handling and ***,no cracks were observed in the microcapsules surface,which favoured the bioactive amaranth compounds retention and ***,low degradation rate constants and long half-life time values were determined for the encapsulated amaranth powders,indicative of its storage *** of 0.75%CM was an efficient concentration to achieve high percentage retention of betacyanins(55.5%),betaxanthins(58%),total polyphenols(73.3%),amaranthine(56.8%),isoamaranthine(62.7%),individual polyphenols(44.6%-81%),and antioxidant activity(79.6%).These results demonstrated the efficiency of CM as an encapsulating agent in the food industry.
