Abstract
Cold pressed avocado oil was microencapsulated by spray drying in four different wall systems consisting of whey protein isolate
(WPI) alone or in combination with maltodextrin (MD) DE 5 at various ratios (90 : 10, 50 : 50 and 10 : 90). The WPI only or WPI/
MD (90 : 10) powders were spherical and smooth, whereas the WPI/MD (50 : 50 and 10 : 90) powders exhibited pronounced
surface collapse. Increasing the MD ratio resulted in higher bulk density and wettability, probably due to more compact physical
structure and hydrophilic wall matrix. Surface free oil contents and microencapsulation efficiencies of powders were 11–16% and
45–66%, respectively, and no significant differences were observed between the samples. The crude avocado oil used in this study

appeared to be stable against oxidation at cold and ambient temperatures, irrespective of microencapsulation. However, at high
temperature of 60 C, the oxidative stability decreased significantly in all cases but it was improved to some extent by
microencapsulation.
