The aim of this study was to include prebiotic biopolymers as wall material in microparticles lime essential oil. Whey protein isolate (WPI), inulin (IN), and oligofructose (OL) were used the following combinations: WPI, WPI/IN (4:1), WPI/OL (4:1). emulsion droplets presence showed larger sizes on reconstitution. There no significant difference solubility particles, but wettability improved addition polysaccharides. size chains favored adsorption water. Prebiotic reduced thermal chemical stability encapsulated Microparticles produced with WPI a higher bioactive compound release rate, mainly due its structural properties, that enabled rapid diffusion oil through pores. use can be good option add value products, thus promoting health benefits.
