Prebiotic Carbohydrates: Effect on physicochemical stability and solubility of algal oil nanoparticles

Abstract This study aimed at providing a novel approach for improving the physicochemical stability and solubility of algal oil nanocapsules through formation of electrostatic interactions and prebiotic carbohydrates systems composed of: octenyl-succinic anhydride (OSA) starch, OSA/inulin (IN), OSA/maltodextrin (MD), OSA/chitosan (CS), OSA/MD/IN, and OSA/CS/IN. IN, a functional prebiotic modifier, was found to significantly (p
