Microencapsulating vitamin C with dietary fibers and prebiotics can improve the storage, preservation, and marketing of vitamin C supplements. This research aimed to explore the feasibility of creating microcapsules using vitamin C, pectin, and alginate through a microencapsulation technique. Pectin was extracted from lemon peel using an acid treatment and then characterised. The morphology of the vitamin C-pectin-alginate microcapsules was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Time, temperature, and pH-dependent vitamin C release profiles of the vitamin C-pectin-alginate microcapsules were studied. The rate of release of vitamin C increased towards pH values close to 7.0, with a higher rate of 83.97% observed at pH 7.0. Additionally, temperature affected the release of vitamin C from the microcapsules, with approximately 47.2% release at body temperature (37°C) and a higher fluctuation in vitamin C release was observed at 20°C. This study revealed that pectin extracted from lemon peels can be used with alginate to encapsulate vitamin C.

C vitamininin diyet lifleri ve prebiyotiklerle mikrokapsüllenmesi, C vitamini takviyelerinin depolanmasını, korunmasını ve pazarlanmasını iyileştirebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir mikrokapsülleme tekniği ile C vitamini, pektin ve aljinat kullanarak mikrokapsüller oluşturmanın fizibilitesini araştırmaktır. Pektin, asit muamelesi kullanılarak limon kabuğundan ekstrakte edildi ve karakterize edildi. C vitamini-pektin-aljinat mikrokapsüllerinin morfolojisi taramalı elektron mikroskobu ile incelenmiştir. C vitamini-pektin-aljinat mikrokapsüllerinin zaman, sıcaklık ve pH bağımlı C vitamini salım profilleri incelenmiştir. C vitamini salım hızı, pH 7.0'a yakın pH değerlerine doğru artarken, pH 7.0'da daha yüksek oranda %83.97 gözlendi. Ek olarak sıcaklık, vücut sıcaklığında (37°C) yaklaşık %47.2 salınım ile mikrokapsüllerden C vitamini salınımını etkiledi ve 20°C'de C vitamini salınımında daha yüksek bir dalgalanma gözlendi. Bu çalışma, limon kabuklarından ekstrakte edilen pektinin, C vitaminini kapsüllemek için aljinat ile birlikte kullanılabileceğini ortaya koydu.

Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty accepts articles in Turkish and English with original results in basic sciences and other applied sciences. The journal may also include compilations containing current innovations.
It was first published in 1981 as "S.Ü. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi" and was published under this name until 1984 (Number 1-4).
In 1984, its name was changed to "S.Ü. Fen-Edeb. Fak. Fen Dergisi" and it was published under this name as of the 5th issue.
When the Faculty of Letters and Sciences was separated into the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Letters with the decision of the Council of Ministers numbered 2008/4344 published in the Official Gazette dated 3 December 2008 and numbered 27073, it has been published as "Selcuk University Journal of Science Faculty" since 2009.
It has been scanned in DergiPark since 2016.
