Litsea cubeba oil microcapsule were prepared by spray drying method. The effect of several shell materials on emulsion stability and surface morphology of microcapsule was investigated, and process conditions of Litsea cubeba oil microcapsule were optimized. The results of scanning electronic microscope (SEM) showed that Litsea cubeba oil microcapsule prepared with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/ arabic gum(HP-β-CD/AG) as wall material is similar to smooth spheres with uniform size and good fluidity, and dents, wrinkles and aggregation for microcapsules prepared with other wall materials were observed. The embedding rate of Litsea cubeba oil in microcapsule was 83.80% under optimum conditions of W_HP-β-CD/AG:W_LCO 6, feed flow rate inlet 3.10 mL/min at air temperature at 171.0 ℃. The quadratic regression model between embedding rate and three factors was found reasonable and reliable.
