Evaluation of the oxidative stability of chia oil-loaded microparticles by thermal, spectroscopic and chemometric methods

Chia oil has been widely studied due to its benefits to human health, being source of important omega-3 and omega-6. Encapsulation has been studied in order to protect the oil from thermal degradation. In this work, oil from chia seeds was microencapsulated in carnauba wax and thermal stability was evaluated not only by thermal methods but also Spectroscopy and chemometric based analyses. High encapsulation efficiency of both omega-3 and -6 (up...
