We are pleased to announce the publication of research in Foods on the high-value use of camellia oil through innovative functional food technology,  co-authored by Dr. Bakht Ramin Shah, Senior Researcher, titled:

Preparation and Characterization of Camellia Oil Microcapsules Using Spray Drying Coupled with Sodium Caseinate/Xanthan Gum-Stabilized Emulsion Template, 

Key findings:
Optimal XG concentration: 0.3%, ensuring stable emulsions and well-balanced microcapsule properties
Optimal drying temperature: 165 °C, achieving high yield, low moisture, excellent β-carotene encapsulation, and strong antioxidant activity
Confirmed benefits: Successful oil encapsulation, high thermal stability, and good digestive characteristics

This work provides valuable technical support for expanding camellia oil applications in functional food development.
