Resumen

Rosa canina pseudo-fruits contain interesting bioactive compounds. This work aims toevaluate the use of different biopolymers as encapsulating agents on the content of organic acids,minerals, fibers, phenols, carotenoids, and the antioxidant activity of the powdered product. Fruitswere ground and freeze-dried with or without biopolymers (maltodextrin, resistant maltodextrin, cyclodextrin, and pea protein). Rosehip formulated purees with encapsulating agents are an interestingfood ingredient rich in fiber and minerals that could be used in the food industry in order to obtaindifferent functional foods. Results obtained in this study show that all formulated samples are a goodsource of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and manganese. Both rosehip without biopolymers androsehip with pea protein formulations are also a good source of Zn. Formulation with pea protein canbe claimed as a good source of Fe. All formulations are food ingredients with a very high content ofascorbic acid. Comparing the encapsulating agents, depending on the studied bioactive compoundsamples behaved differently. In conclusion, it can be indicated that pea protein is recommended asan encapsulating agent since the rosehip with pea protein sample has the highest content of fiber,minerals, organic acids, and carotenoids among the encapsulating agents studied.
