Optimizing Production of Persian Shallot Essential Oil Emulsion Loaded with Omega 3 Fatty Acids by Nano Polyaniline-Fiber/Gas Chromatography

The aim of this study was to produce Persian shallot essential oil nano-emulsion containing omega-3 fatty acids by spontaneous emulsification method and obtain the optimum conditions by head space-solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography (HS-SPME/GC) technique and polyaniline (PANI) nano fiber. The effects of four factors including omega 3 percent, surfactant type (TWEEN 20, 80 and caseinate sodium), surfactant-to-oil ratio (SOR 10-300%), and storage time on the encapsulation efficiency and chromatographic characteristics (including total peak area and total peak height) were studied. The Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to design 32 experiments. The effects of factors was considered on the emulsion, and P-value of <0.05 statistically significant. ..
