Carotenoids are compounds sensitive to environmental factors such as light, heat, and oxygen, which can result in the loss of their properties due to isomerisation and oxidation. To overcome this problem, spray drying encapsulation has been widely used as a method to protect and stabilise carotenoids in different wall materials. This article summarises the findings and research on spray drying encapsulation of carotenoids over the past 15 years, with an emphasis on the importance of controlling the operational conditions of the drying process and the association of different wall materials (proteins and polysaccharides), promising to increase encapsulation efficiency and stabilise carotenoids, with perspectives and trends in applications. The use of spray drying for carotenoid microencapsulation can open up new opportunities for controlled delivery of beneficial compounds. Based on the study, it is expected to provide information for researchers, professionals, and companies interested in the development of functional food products.
类胡萝卜素是对光、热和氧气等环境因素敏感的化合物，这些因素会导致其因异构化和氧化而失去特性。为克服这一问题，喷雾干燥包封已被广泛用作在不同壁材中保护和稳定类胡萝卜素的方法。本文总结了过去15年中关于类胡萝卜素喷雾干燥包封的研究结果，重点强调了控制干燥过程操作条件的重要性以及不同壁材（蛋白质和多糖）的关联，有望提高包封效率并稳定类胡萝卜素，并探讨了应用前景和趋势。使用喷雾干燥进行类胡萝卜素微胶囊化可为有益化合物的可控递送开辟新机遇。基于该研究，有望为对功能性食品产品开发感兴趣的研究人员、专业人士和公司提供信息。
