ARTICLE OPEN Tween emulsifiers improved alginate-based dispersions and ionic crosslinked milli-sized capsules Yulu Zheng 1,2 , Ye Zi2 , Cuiping Shi 1 , Huan Gong2 , Hongbin Zhang3 , Xichang Wang2 and Jian Zhong 1,2 ✉ The blending of surfactants might change the properties of alginate-based oil encapsulation preparations. Herein, the effects of Tween series (Tween 20, 40, 60, and 80) blending on the fish oil-encapsulated sodium alginate dispersions and calcium alginate capsules were studied....
