Abstract: In this paper, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) microspheres stabilized with whey protein isolate (WPI)-gum arabic (GA) complex (WPI-GA ISCs) were prepared by the emulsification solvent evaporation method. The results showed that the solvent evaporation resulted in aggregation of WPI-GA complex and consequently shrinkage and collapse of the WPI-GA interface, contributing to the thicker layer. The emulsifying stability of WPI-GA ISCs was improved, thereby preventing particle aggregation and CLA leakage. When the concentration of WPI-GA ISCs was higher than 1%, the CLA microspheres had good physical stability and resolubility after freeze-drying with high efficiency of encapsulation and delivery in the gastrointestinal tract.

Key words: whey protein isolate (WPI)-gum arabic (GA) complex, emulsifying stability, conjugated linoleic acid, interface, gastrointestinal delivery
