Abstract


Curcumin is a natural substance having potential health benefits including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor... However, due to its low water solubility, curcumin possesses a low bioavailability, low solubility, high decomposition rate and poor absorption. In order to overcome limitations and improve the efficacy of curcumin, the ionotropic gelation method was used in this study by complexing pectin, surfactant and divalent cation Ca2+ resulting in micro curcumin beads. The encapsulation efficiency, encapsulation yield, morphology and size were changed due to the quantity of Solutol® HS 15 used in the production process. Adding Solutol® HS 15 25% (w/v) during the manufacturing process was maintained  the antioxidant activity of curcumin comparing to curcumin powder. As the result, the formulation of the micro curcumin bead was optimizer and chosen.
