Abstract : Vitamin C (Vit C) is sensitive to oxidation, so maintaining its stability is the biggest challenge in its preparation and use. The aim of this research was to study the effect of adding various additives on the stability of Vit C microencapsulated in microparticles prepared by solvent evaporation method. The results showed that the system viscosity had an effect on the particle size, encapsulation efficiency EE was affected by PVA, Vit C and polymer concentrations. The additives that have shown a positive effect on EE are sucrose concentration, addition of alginate Na and chitosan. The results also showed that using (sucrose, glucose, cysteine, alginate Na and chitosan) as additives can protect AA in microparticles and increase shelf lives (AA shelf life increased significantly from 15 to 42 days by using sucrose as additive).

Keywords : Vit C, Shelf Life, Additives, Microencapsulation.
