Abstract:
Black jamun is a rich source of polyphenol and anthocyanin that provides major potential as a natural pigment. The different concentrations of encapsulated jamun pulp phytocompounds (0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5 g 100 g-1) were incorporated with chewing gum for the development of functional food production. The study showed among variants, 5 g 100 g-1 encapsulates of black jamun pulp extract-based chewing gum (BJE-CG) showed better color stability and texture properties caused by the availability of alginate and guar gum in the encapsulates. The results revealed the dissolution behaviour of 5 g 100 g-1 based BJE-CG has a greater (P < 0.05) dissolution of total anthocyanin (TAC) and phenolic content (TPC). The dissolution kinetics model including the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, Higuchi model and Gunes model were statistically tested the dissolution rate of TAC and TPC. The Korsmeyer-Peppas model for TAC and Gunes model for TPC were found the best suitable through R2 (0.995 and 0.991) and the lowest χ2 (0.0098 and 0.0361). The dissolution kinetics study indicated the 5 g 100 g-1 based BJE-CG has the most suitable fitting in dissolution kinetics via simulated salivary fluid at 10 min. The application of the encapsulated phytocompounds shows a better solution for food and pharma industries to deliver decent plant-based pigment and phytocompounds in the food product.

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model
This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...
