Abstract
Fabrication of next generation polysaccharides with interfacial properties is driven by the need to create high performance surfactants that operate at extreme environments, as for example in complex food formulations or in the gastrointestinal tract. The present review examines the behaviour of polysaccharides at fluid food interfaces focusing on their performance in the absence of any other intentionally added interfacially active components. Relevant theoretical principles of colloidal stabilisation using concepts that have been developed for synthetic polymers at interfaces are firstly introduced. The role of protein that in most cases is present in polysaccharide preparations either as contaminant or as integral part of the structure is also discussed. Critical assessment of the literature reveals that although protein may contribute to emulsion formation mostly as an anchor for polysaccharides to attach, it is not the determinant factor for the long-term emulsion stability, irrespectively of polysaccharide structure. Interfacial performance of key polysaccharides is also assessed revealing shared characteristics in their modes of adsorption. Conformation of polysaccharides, as affected by the composition of the aqueous solvent needs to be closely controlled, as it seems to be the underlying fundamental cause of stabilisation events and appears to be more important than the constituent polysaccharide sugar-monomers. Finally, polysaccharide adsorption is better understood by regarding them as copolymers, as this approach may assist to better control their properties with the aim to create the next generation biosurfactants.

Abstract
Pomegranate peel pectin is an important acidic anionic plant polysaccharide which can be used as a natural emulsifier. In order to study its emulsifying properties, this paper systematically analyses pomegranate peel pectin samples from Chinese Xinjiang, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, through rheometer, interfacial rheometer, Zetasizer Nano-ZS and mastersizer. It is shown that pomegranate peel pectin can effectively reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, reaching an emulsion droplet size of only 0.507 μm, 0.669 μm and 0.569 μm, respectively, while the pectin concentration is 1.5% and the oil phase (MCT) is 10%. It has also shown that the extreme conditions of pH and ion strength can not significantly change its emulsion stability. However, freeze-thaw cycles can cause the pomegranate peel pectin emulsion to become less stable. Furthermore, the effects of decolourization, protein removal and dialysis on the emulsifying properties of pomegranate peel pectin are investigated using mastersizer rheometer and interfacial rheometer. It is found that the protein and pigment in pomegranate peel pectin have little effect on its emulsifying properties, while the results from dialyzed pectin show that the small molecule substances can reduce the emulsion particle size and increase the emulsion stability. The research outcomes of this study provide technical support for the further application of pomegranate peel pectin in the food industry.

Abstract
Citrus pectin and citrus oil are the main functional components of citrus residuals in the processing industry. In this study, citrus oil emulsions were fabricated for the first time using four different citrus pectins (orange, mandarin, grapefruit, and commercial citrus pectins) as the emulsifier. The influence mechanism of citrus variety and acid treatment (pH 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) on the emulsifying capacity of citrus pectins was systematically investigated by understanding the relationship between molecular structure, solution property, interfacial property, and emulsion property. The results suggest that citrus variety and acid treatment can significantly influence the emulsifying capacity in relation to the molecular structure and molecular state of citrus pectins. A smaller molecular size of citrus pectin and lower pH between 2 and 7 produced a reduction in aggregate size, which improved the interfacial capacity and emulsifying ability by promoting their distribution at the interface. Although hydrolyzed citrus pectins at pH 1 with a lower molecular size exhibited better interfacial capacity, citrus oil emulsions were unstable due to electrostatic attraction caused by partially positive charged citrus pectins. Fine stable citrus oil emulsion was prepared using mandarin pectin with a relative high methyl ester content and small molecular size at pH 2. Our results provide a scientific basis for the fabrication of citrus oil emulsion based on citrus pectin and facilitate the application of citrus residuals in the food industry.

Abstract
The application of non-toxic carriers to increase drug loading, multi-drug delivery, and extremely small size of nano-drugs to construct a tremendous transmission system is the goal for all researchers to be pursued. The proposal of natural pectin nano-platform for delivery of multiple drugs is critical for biomedical research, especially a particle size of below 100nm with high yield. Here we design a new core-shell structure pectin-eight-arm polyethylene glycol-ursolic acid/hydrooxycampothecin nanoparticle (Pec-8PUH NPs) through a special self-assembly method for stabilizing and dispersing particles, improving water-solubility, and achieving drug controlled release. The obtained Pec-8PUH NPs possessed appropriate size (~91nm), drug-loaded efficiency and encapsulation efficiency through the regulation of eight-arm polyethylene glycol. In addition, Pec-8PUH NPs could enhance cell cytotoxicity, shorten blood retention time (7.3-fold UA, 7.2-fold HCPT) and more effective cellular uptake than free drugs, which exhibited an obvious synergistic effect of UA and HCPT by the co-delivery. 4T1 tumor-bearing mice also showed a higher survival rate than free UA and free HCPT. The result further shows that this novel drug delivery system has a promising potential for anti-cancer combination therapy.

Abstract
Natural pectin is an important carrier for delivering drugs in biomedical research, however, there are only a few reports on the preparation of pectin nanoparticles, especially a particle size of below 100 nm with high yield. Here we design pectin-dihydroartemisinin/hydrooxycampothecin nanoparticles (PDC-H NPs) through a self-assembly method. The prepared PDC-H NPs contained hydrophilic part of pectin and hydrophobic anticancer drugs of dihydroartemisinin and hydroxycamptothecin, which could increase drug loading, improve water solubility, and achieve controlled release of drugs. The results indicated that the particle size of PDC-H NPs was about 70 nm, drug-loaded efficiency of DHA was 20.33 wt %, and encapsulation efficiency of HCPT was 14.11 wt %. PDC-H NPs exhibited a higher cytotoxicity, the blood retention time of PDC-H NPs was 4.8-fold longer than DHA and was 6.8-fold longer than HCPT. In addition, effective cellular uptake exhibited an obvious synergistic effect compared with DHA and HCPT. 4T1 tumor-bearing mice also showed a higher survival rate than free DHA and free HCPT. The result show that the self-assembled PDC-H NPs is a promising anticancer drug for codelivery.

Abstract
The emulsifying characteristics of pectins isolated from six different okra genotypes were investigated and their structure-function relationships have been evaluated. Emulsion formation and stabilization of acidic oil-in-water emulsions (pH 2.0, φ = 0.1) were studied by means of droplet size distribution, ζ-potential measurements, viscometry, interfacial composition analysis and fluorescence microscopy. Fresh and aged emulsions differed in terms of droplet size distribution, interfacial protein and pectin concentrations (Γ) depending on the molecular properties of pectin that was used. Specifically, pectins with intermediate length of RG-I branching with molar ratio of (Ara + Gal)/Rha between 2 and 3 exhibit the optimum emulsification capacity whereas samples with the molar ratio outside this range do not favour emulsification. Additionally, low amounts of RG-I segments (HG/RG-I > 2) improve long term stability of emulsions as opposed to the samples that contain high amounts of RG-I (HG/RG-I < 2) which lead to long term instability. Protein was not found to be the controlling factor for the stability of the dispersions. The present results show that rational design of pectin should be sought before application as functional ingredient in food and/or pharmaceutical systems.

Abstract
Leaf water uptake (LWU) has been observed in plants of different ecosystems and this process is distinct among different species. Four plant species from the Brazilian fog mountain fields were evaluated in order to detect if leaf water uptake capacity is related to the cell wall composition of leaf epidermis. LWU measurements and their relation to anatomical and biochemical traits were analyzed. Cell wall composition was verified through immunocytochemistry using monoclonal antibodies recognizing pectin compounds, and histochemistry with calcofluor white to track cellulose. Differences in LWU among the four species were clearly revealed. Two species presented higher maximum leaf water content and the lowest values of water absorption speed. The other two species presented opposite behavior, namely, low leaf water uptake and the highest values of water absorption speed. The anatomical traits associated with the cell wall composition corroborated the data on the different LWU strategies. The species with abundant detection of cellulose in their epidermal cell walls absorbed more water, but more slowly, while those with abundant detection of pectins absorbed water at a higher speed. These results indicate that cell wall composition regarding pectin and cellulose are significant for water uptake by the leaf epidermis. Pectin provides greater porosity and absorption speed, while cellulose provides greater hydrophilicity and greater water uptake capacity. Current data indicate that the composition of epidermal cell walls is a relevant trait for leaf water uptake.
