Abstract:  Four drying methods including air drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying and spray drying on momordica charantia (MC) were compared. Through observing four kinds of dried powders of MC with a microscope and microencapsulating process of MC as well, it was found that MC spray-drying powders existed in an agglomerating form, leading to good dissolution capability. The encapsulated microcapsule with MC cellulose and dextrin acted as continues phase, and its lipid as distract phase and with the emulsifier distributed evenly between water and oil, leads to a stable microencapsulation system.

Key words:  , momordica charantia(MC); microencapsule; micro-structures;
