Electrohilado, nanofibras, encapsulación, agentes bioactivos

Resumen

El electrohilado es una técnica emergente de encapsulación en la que un campo eléctrico de alto potencial es aplicado a una solución de un polímero, lo que resulta en la formación de nanofibras que migran a un colector. Este artículo presenta una revisión integral sobre los fundamentos teóricos del electrohilado, los factores que influyen en su eficiencia (como la viscosidad de la solución, el tipo de disolvente, el voltaje aplicado, el caudal y las condiciones ambientales), así como las diferentes configuraciones del proceso (electrohilado uniaxial, coaxial y de emulsión). Además, se analizan diversos materiales de pared utilizados para la encapsulación de compuestos bioactivos lo que permite protegerlos frente a condiciones ambientales que comprometan su integridad estructural y actividad biológica. Finalmente, se discuten aplicaciones del electrohilado en la industria alimentaria como una alternativa a las técnicas convencionales de fabricación de alimentos funcionales y con ello mejorar la nutrición humana
