Chia Oil Microencapsulation Using Tannic Acid and Soy Protein Isolate as Wall Materials

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

your paper has been sent for my consideration. Unfortunately, due to numerous imperfections, it cannot be processed further.

First, it is not clear what and how the authors did. There is no key information about sample preparation (once? many times? is it repeatable?). There is no information what they analyzed for biological activity (oil? capsules? how were the active substances extracted?)

The collection and use of human biological material (saliva) requires the consent of the ethics committee (no data).

The introduction needs to be refined (comments in the PDF file).

There is basically no discussion, just citing the literature. Why were the observed phenomena not precisely explained? And the reasons for these changes?

I have included other comments in a PDF file.

I'm sorry, but the manuscript requires many changes and cannot be published in a journal with such a high IF in its current form.

Reviewer 2 Report

To whom it may concern,

The current research article entitled "Chia oil microencapsulation using tannic acid and soy protein 2 isolate as wall materials" is about the concept of encapsulating  bioactive compound to prevent from damage during the storage. This is a well-written manuscript and can be considered for publication after minor corrections. My specific comments are attached as a pdf file. Thank you.

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors, I have read the replies to my comments. My doubts were explained in great detail and key missing information was added. I realize that each manuscript has its strengths and weaknesses. However, this one has been corrected in a way. There are still text editing issues (typos), but this can be corrected during production.

Reviewer 2 Report

To whom it may concern,

The manuscript entitled "Chia oil microencapsulation using tannic acid and soy protein isolate as wall materials" has been revised well. However, there are still some minor gramatical errors should be addressed.
