Goldenberry and purple passion fruit contain bioactive compounds (BCs) that can prevent gastrointestinal cancers; hydrogel beads can protect and control their release in the gastrointestinal tract. This study aimed to develop an encapsulating material for fruit hydrogel beads (FHBs) to increase their bioaccessibility and to assess antiproliferative effects. A blend of goldenberry-purple passion fruit was encapsulated using ionic gelation and electrospraying.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the antioxidant properties of goldenberry and purple passion fruit, highlighting their potential to prevent chronic diseases due to their rich bioactive compounds.
- The researchers categorized the fruits by maturity stages, analyzed their compounds, and utilized experimental design to optimize their antioxidant activity.
- Findings indicated that maturity stage 3 for both fruits exhibited higher polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, with a recommended blend ratio of 83% goldenberry and 17% purple passion fruit for maximum benefit.
To compare the encapsulation of annatto extract by external gelation (EG) and internal gelation (IG) and to maximize process yield (% Y), two central composite designs were proposed. Calcium chloride (CaCl) concentration (0.3-3.
