First, we optimized the feed formulation and processing conditions required to obtain nano-microcapsules by electrospraying when using Arabic gum as an encapsulating agent and pullulan and Tween 20 as additives. The optimum formulation was also dried by spray-drying, where the removal of the additives was also assayed. Morphology analysis reveals that electrosprayed capsules have a smaller size (1.2 0.5 m vs. 12.4 8.7 m) and greater uniformity compared to those obtained by spray-drying. Regarding the surface nitrogen content and DPP-IV inhibitory activity, our results show no significant difference between the electrosprayed capsules and spray-dried capsules containing additives (IC50 of ~1.5 mg protein/mL). Therefore, it was concluded that adding additives during spray-drying allows for a similar encapsulation efficiency and reduced degradation during processing, as achieved by electrospraying technique but providing higher productivity. On the other hand, spray-dried capsules without additives displayed a higher surface nitrogen content percentage, which was mainly due to the absence of Tween 20 in the feed formulation. Consequently, these capsules presented a higher IC50 value (IC50 of 1.99 0.03 mg protein/mL) due to the potential degradation of surface-exposed peptides.}, organization = {PID2020-114137RB-I00 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Antidiabetic peptides}, keywords = {Enzymatic hydrolysis}, keywords = {Nano-microencapsulation}, title = {Encapsulation of Tenebrio molitor Hydrolysate with DPP-IV Inhibitory Activity by Electrospraying and Spray-Drying}, doi = {10.3390/nano14100840}, author = {Berraquero García, Carmen and Martínez-Sánchez, Lydia and Guadix Escobar, Emilia María and García Moreno, Pedro Jesús}, }
