The selected person will work on potential applications in lactase encapsulation, with the aim of transferring the technology to the pharmaceutical sector. The Colloidal and Interfacial Chemistry (QCI) Research Group at IQAC-CSIC recently encapsulated the protein BSA, combining water-in-water emulsion (W/W) preparation techniques with ionic complexation. W/W emulsions were prepared in aqueous mixtures of an anionic polyelectrolyte (sodium alginate) with BSA, obtaining BSA-in-alginate dispersions, which were introduced into polyelectrolyte capsules through the ionic complexation of sodium alginate with Ca2+ and chitosan. This method has yielded gastro-resistant capsules that can release proteins in a simulated intestinal fluid.
