Article Synopsis
- Synthetic chemicals like Me2SO in cryopreservation solutions can be toxic to plant cells, prompting the search for non-toxic natural alternatives.
- A study explored the use of 8 different fructans as potential cryoprotectants, finding that a branched low DP graminan from wheat kernels provided high cell recovery rates after freezing.
- The addition of vitamin C further improved the protective effects, indicating promising developments for crop species cryopreservation.
Essential oils (EOs) have many beneficial qualities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, and antifungal activities, along with good aroma, which have played a significant role in pharmaceutical, textile, and food industries. However, their high volatility and sensibility to external factors, as well as susceptibility to deterioration caused by environmental and storage conditions, or even common processing, and consequently limited water solubility, makes it difficult to incorporate them into aqueous food matrices and limits their industrial application. Spray-drying encapsulation has been proposed as a solution and a challenging research field to retard oil oxidation, extend EO's shelf life, improve their physicochemical stability, achieve controlled release, suggest novel uses, and therefore boost their added value.
