Global concern on petroleum based plastics which is non-degradable in our environment has led researchers to develop biodegradable plastics. However, biodegradable plastics have poor barrier properties because of their hydrophilic character of biopolymers. It is known that incorporation of nanocellulose extracted from plant sources to improve barri

In this study, the effect of polymer composition on physicochemical characteristics of fish oil microcapsules produced by spray drying (180 °C) was investigated. Fish oil powders were produced using hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) 15 cP and HPMC 5 cP as a solid carrier and PEG 6000 as a plasticizer. The ratio of the polymer to the lipid pha
