TL;DR: In this article, peppermint oil was encapsulated with gum arabic, maltodextrin, and a blend, (1:1 by mass), by spray drying, and the drying gas was hot air at an inlet temperature 200 0 C.
Abstract: Microencapsulation is one of the quality preservation techniques of sensitive substances used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Peppermint oil was encapsulated with gum arabic, maltodextrin, and a blend,(1:1 by mass) of gum arabic and maltodextrin by spray drying. The drying gas was hot air at an inlet temperature 200 0 C. No valuable changes were detected in the chemical composition of peppermint oil after encapsulation. The materials giving the highest flavor retention during drying were gum arabic and the (1:1)blend, as they provided acceptable oil retention (81% and 80%) ,respectively. The results showed the high safety of encapsulated peppermint oil, as biological evaluation showed that serum glucose, cholesterol and aminotransferases enzymes exhibited no significant change as compared to control mice. Meanwhile, creatinine (mg/dl) was significantly, but slightly, increased from 0.8 to 1.07 mg/dl after feeding diet containing encapsulated peppermint oil.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of storage conditions on the stability of gum arabic and tragacanth polymers was evaluated, and it was shown that gum-arabic is more resistant to higher temperatures compared to tragacananth.
Abstract: Storage conditions should be chosen so that they do not affect the action and stability of the active pharmaceutical substance (API), and excipients used in pharmacy. UV irradiation, increased temperature, and relative humidity can decompose storage substances by photolysis, thermolysis, and hydrolysis process, respectively. The effect of physical factors may be the decomposition of pharmaceutical substances or their inappropriate action, including pharmacological effects. Polymers of natural origin are increasingly used in the pharmaceutical industry. With this in mind, we evaluated the effect of storage conditions on the stability of gum arabic (GA) and tragacanth (GT). The influence of higher temperature, UV irradiation, and relative humidity on GA and GT was tested. Thermogravimetry (TG, c-DTA), colorimetric analysis, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and optical microscopy were used as research methods. The TGA and c-DTA examination indicated that decomposition of GA starts at a higher temperature compared to GT. This indicate that gum arabic is more resistant to higher temperatures compared to tragacanth. However, the conducted analysis showed that gum arabic is more sensitive to the tested storage conditions. Among the tested physical conditions, both polymers were most sensitive to conditions of increased relative humidity in the environment.
