Encapsulation Effect on the In Vitro Bioaccessibility of Sacha Inchi Oil ( L.) by Soft Capsules Composed of Gelatin and Cactus Mucilage Biopolymers.

Sacha inchi ( L.) seed oil is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are beneficial for human health, whose nutritional efficacy is limited because of its low water solubility and labile bioaccessibility (compositional integrity). In this work, the encapsulation effect, using blended softgels of gelatin (G) and cactus mucilage (CM) biopolymers, on the PUFAs' bioaccessibility of seed oil was evaluated during in vitro simulated digestive processes (mouth, gastric, and intestinal).
