Abstract
This study investigated the properties of 3D-printed high internal phase emulsion (HIPE)-rice starch gels, specially tailored for personalized nutrition by co-encapsulating resveratrol and β-carotene. We examined the influence of amylose content on various parameters, including functional groups, linear and nonlinear rheology, printed precision and microstructural stability. Additionally, we assessed the protective efficacy and release in vitro digestion of these gels on the encapsulated bioactive components. Compared to HIPE, HIPE-starch gels differently impacted by amylose content in starches. Low-level amylose weakened the network structure, attributed to amylose mainly responsible for gel formation and weak hydrogen bond interaction between the surface-active molecules and amylose due to gelatinized starch granules rupturing the protein network. Oppositely, high-level amylose led to denser, more gel-like structures with enhanced mechanical strength and reversible deformation resistance, making them suitable for 3D printing. Furthermore, 3D-printed gels with high-level amylose demonstrated well-defined structures, smooth surfaces, stable printing and less dimension deviation. They were also regarded as effective entrapping and delivery systems for resveratrol and β-carotene, protecting them against degradation from environment and damage under the erosion of digestive fluid. Overall, this research offers a straightforward strategy for creating reduced-fat HIPE gels that serve as the carrier for personalized nutraceutical foods.

Abstract
High internal phase emulsion (HIPE) was produced and stabilized using a novel antioxidant emulsifier formed by the complexation between sodium caseinate (SC) and quercetin (Q). Colloidal complexes, produced via an alkaline process, showed great ability to reduce the interfacial tension between oil-water phases, promoting stabilization of the HIPEs even at low concentrations (1.5% w/v in the aqueous fraction). HIPEs at 0.80 volume fraction of dispersed phase presented remarkable viscosity due to the high-packing network of oil droplets surrounded by a thin liquid layer. Moreover, the emulsions showed a gel-like behavior and kinetic stability for 45-days at 25 °C. The approach of SC:Q complexes on HIPEs development is promising to reduce lipid oxidation, translated by the formation of hydroperoxides and malondialdehyde during storage, especially for the complex formed with the highest amount of the phenolic compound. In this study, the development of HIPEs with outstanding kinetic and oxidative stability is reported as a potential alternative for the development of healthier products with reduced saturated and trans-fat content.

Abstract
Solid-stabilized high internal phase emulsions have received extensive attention. Many previous studies have confirmed that solid emulsifiers in high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) provide a great interface mechanical barrier. With the development of research, novel solid-stabilized emulsions have emerged. These emulsions are stabilized by the electrostatic repulsion between the surfactants and hydrophilic solid particles. They are distinct from Pickering emulsions in that the solid particles do not exist at the oil-water interface, but are dispersed in the continuous phase, so it is called a non-Pickering emulsion. However, high internal phase non-Pickering emulsions (HIPNPEs) are rarely reported. Herein, HIPNPEs that are synergistically stabilized by anionic surfactants with dynamic covalent bonds and negatively charged nano-SiO2 particles were prepared. In the presence of dodecylamine, the acidity causes the dynamic covalent bonds to break and the surfactant to be inactivated. Additionally, the long-chain amine is protonated and adsorbed on nano-SiO2 particles to form a new surfactant for stabilizing HIPPEs. However, alkalinity causes the HIPNPEs to form again. In addition, rheological tests confirmed that the HIPNPEs and HIPPEs had similar rheological behaviors, which were typical gel-like fluids. The emulsion can quickly respond to realize the conversion between the different types of high internal phase emulsion by simple stimulation, which provides a new direction for stimulus-responsive high internal phase emulsions.

High internal phase emulsions stabilized by native and heat-treated lactoferrin-carboxymethyl chitosan complexes: Comparison of molecular and granular emulsifiers. Food Chem 2022; 370:130507.

Abstract
While the high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) have been formed by food-grade biopolymers and granules have been widely reported, it is not known which components are more effective. In this work, we first used heat-treated lactoferrin (LF)-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) granules and native LF-CMCTS physical mixtures as emulsifiers to form HIPEs. The results showed that the interfacial behavior and emulsifying properties of the two complexes were controlled by the ratio of LF-CMCTS and the optimal ratio of LF to CMCTS was 1:1. Heated LF-CMCTS granules anchored to the water-oil interface and formed an elastic shell to stabilize HIPEs, while unheated LF-CMCTS complexes formed a thick film layer to stabilize HIPEs. Both HIPEs could act as delivery systems loaded with curcumin, and they showed better protection of curcumin than Tween-80 under light. This study provides a new basis for the design of LF-based HIPEs systems loaded with lipophilic food functional ingredients.

Abstract
Continuous contact of air pollutants on human skin has produced early ageing and led to roughness, dryness, poor elasticity, increased wrinkling and irregular pigmentation of the skin. The present study was carried out to fabricate an anti-pollution cosmetic-based w/o/w multiple emulsion containing D-biotin, prepared by a one-step formation as protection for the skin against the effects of air pollutants and further used for in vitro and in vivo evaluation. A similar multiple emulsion without D-biotin was also prepared in the same way. Each of the tested multiple emulsions (CB2 and CF2) was applied to the cheeks of 15 human volunteers for a testing period of 90 days. Both emulsions were assessed for skin melanin, erythema, hydration and elasticity values. The droplet sizes of CB2 and CF2 stored in the dark were 10.92 ± 0.23 and 15.4 ± 0.12 μm, respectively. The size distributions of CB2 and CF2 ranged from 4.55 ± 0.1 to 26.056 ± 0.34 μm and from 1.97.16 ± 1.2 to 45.13 ± 2.17 μm, respectively. The rheological parameters showed non-Newtonian, pseudo-plastic and shear thinning behaviour, while pH remained within an acceptable range. No considerable physical changes were observed. The skin irritation testing indicated that CB2 and CF2 were safe after application and did not cause any skin irritation. The skin melanin, erythema, moisture and elasticity values of both the right and left cheeks of the volunteers were measured at baseline visits: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days of time intervals. While CB2 showed insignificant effects, therefore, it was demonstrated that CF2 decreased skin erythema content and increased skin elasticity and hydration significantly but had an insignificant effect on skin melanin content with respect to time. Good sensory attributes were also achieved. Therefore, CF2 is a promising new approach for protection of the skin from the deleterious effects of air pollutants.

Abstract
Due to their elastomeric behavior, polyurethane-based scaffolds can find various applications in soft-tissue engineering. However, their relatively inert surface has to be modified in order to improve cell colonization and control cell fate. The present study focuses on porous biodegradable scaffolds based on poly(ester-urea-urethane), functionalized concomitantly to the scaffold elaboration with low-molecular-weight (LMW) fucoidan; and their bio-activation with platelet rich plasma (PRP) formulations with the aim to promote cell response. The LMW fucoidan-functionalization was obtained in a very homogeneous way, and was stable after the scaffold sterilization and incubation in phosphate-buffered saline. Biomolecules from PRP readily penetrated into the functionalized scaffold, leading to a biological frame on the pore walls. Preliminary in vitro assays were assessed to demonstrate the improvement of scaffold behavior towards cell response. The scaffold bio-activation drastically improved cell migration. Moreover, cells interacted with all pore sides into the bio-activated scaffold forming cell bridges across pores. Our work brought out an easy and versatile way of developing functionalized and bio-activated elastomeric poly(ester-urea-urethane) scaffolds with a better cell response.

Abstract
This review explores the physics underlying the rheology of highly concentrated emulsions (HCEs) to determine the relationship between elasticity and HCE stability, and to consider whether it is possible to describe all physicochemical properties of HCEs on the basis of a unique physical approach. We define HCEs as emulsions with a volume fraction above the maximum closest packing fraction of monodisperse spheres, φm=0.74, even if droplets are not of polyhedron shape. The solid-like rheological behavior of HCEs is characterized by yield stress and elasticity, properties which depend on droplet polydispersity and which are affected by caging at volume fractions about the jamming concentration, φj. A bimodal size distribution in HCEs diminishes caging and facilitates droplet movement, resulting in HCEs with negligible yield stress and no plateau in storage modulus. Thermodynamic forces automatically move HCEs toward the lowest free energy state, but since interdroplet forces create local minimums - points beyond which free energy temporarily increases before it reaches the global minimum of the system - the free energy of HCEs will settle at a local minimum unless additional energy is added. Several attempts have been undertaken to predict the elasticity of HCEs. In many cases, the elastic modulus of HCEs is higher than the one predicted from classical models, which only take into account spatial repulsion (or simply interfacial energy). Improved models based on free energy calculation should be developed to consider the disjoining pressure and interfacial rheology in addition to spatial repulsion. The disjoining pressure and interfacial viscoelasticity, which result in the deviation of elasticity from the classical model, can be regarded as parameters for quantifying the stability of HCEs.

Abstract
It is shown that phospholipid dispersions with a few percent of diacylphosphocholine PC in water can be swollen to single-phase lyotropic liquid crystalline Lα-phases by the addition of co-solvents like glycerol, 1,3-butyleneglycol BG or 1,2-propyleneglycol PG. The birefringent Lα-phases contain small unilamellar and multilamellar vesicles if the temperature of the samples is above the Krafft-Temperature Tm of the phospholipid. When such transparent birefringent viscous samples are cooled down below Tm the samples are transformed into birefringent gels. Cryo-TEM and FF-TEM measurements show that the bilayers of the vesicles are transformed from the liquid to the crystalline state during the transformation while the vesicle structure remains. The bilayers of the crystalline vesicles form adhesive contacts in the gel. Pulsed-field gradient NMR measurements show that two different kinds of water or co-solvent can be distinguished in the gels. One type of solvent molecules can diffuse like normal solvent in a continuous bulk phase. A second type of water diffuses much more slowly. This type of solvent is obviously trapped in the vesicles. The permeability of the crystalline vesicles for water and solvent molecules is much lower in the crystalline state than in the fluid state. Maximum swelling of the diacylphosphocholin dispersions occurs when the refractive index of the solvent is matched to the refractive index of the bilayers. The attraction between the bilayers is at a minimum in this state and the liquid crystalline Lα-phase's undulation forces between the bilayers push the bilayers apart. On transformation to the gel state the crystalline bilayers assume a high elastic bending rigidity. Undulations of the bilayers are now suppressed, and the bilayers can form adhesive contacts. Oscillating rheological measurements show that the gels with only 1% of phospholipids can have a storage modulus of 1000Pa. The gels are very brittle. They break when they are deformed by a few percent.

Abstract
Many proteins are surface active molecules and form stable emulsions. In these emulsions, the protein covered oil droplets behave as sticky droplets even when they are ionically charged. As a result of the stickiness of the droplets the emulsions have gel-like properties. The stickiness is due to the multipolar nature of the proteins in contrast to the bipolar nature of surfactants or other amphiphilic compounds that form emulsions with repulsive droplets. Stable emulsions are also formed from particles like clays to which proteins are adsorbed. These hybrid compounds form even more stable emulsions with stronger elastic properties than clays and proteins on their own. These so called pickering emulsions have paste-like properties and do not flow. The scaffolding network of the crosslinked protein bilayers on the droplets is so strong that both the water and the oil can be removed from the emulsions by freeze drying without collapse of the scaffold. The resulting sponge can be used again for the uptake of both water and oil. Emulsions which are prepared from different proteins differ mainly in their elastic properties.

Abstract
The purpose of the present work was to investigate the changes on physical stability (color, creaming, liquefaction, pH, conductivity, centrifugation, viscosity and rheological parameters) by non-ionic surfactant polysiloxane polyalkyl polyether copolymer based creams following inclusion of plant extract containing phenolic compounds. The antioxidant activity of the plant extract alone and after addition in the cream was assessed using the stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Physical stability was assessed by submitting the creams to storage at 8°C, 25°C, 40°C, and at 40°C with 70% RH (relative humidity) for a period of two months. Physical characteristics of polysiloxane polyalkyl polyether copolymer based creams, that is, color, creaming, liquefaction, centrifugation and pH were noted at various intervals for 2 months. The viscosities and rheological behavior of creams were determined using a rotational rheometer. Data were analyzed by using Brookfield Software Rheocalc version (2.6) with IPC Paste and Power Law (PL) math models. Cream with plant extract showed pseudo plastic behaviour with decreasing on viscosity. TheAcacia nilotica(AN) extract alone and the cream containing this extract showed great antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. Power Law and IPC analysis were found to fit all the rheograms.

Abstract
Anomalous subdiffusion in cells and model systems is an active area of research. The main questions are whether diffusion is anomalous or normal, and if it is anomalous, its mechanism. The subject is controversial, especially the hypothesis that crowding causes anomalous subdiffusion. Anomalous subdiffusion measurements would be strengthened by an experimental standard, particularly one able to cross-calibrate the different types of measurements. Criteria for a calibration standard are proposed. First, diffusion must be anomalous over the length and timescales of the different measurements. The length-scale is fundamental; the time scale can be adjusted through the viscosity of the medium. Second, the standard must be theoretically well understood, with a known anomalous subdiffusion exponent, ideally readily tunable. Third, the standard must be simple, reproducible, and independently characterizable (by, for example, electron microscopy for nanostructures). Candidate experimental standards are evaluated, including obstructed lipid bilayers; aqueous systems obstructed by nanopillars; a continuum percolation system in which a prescribed fraction of randomly chosen obstacles in a regular array is ablated; single-file diffusion in pores; transient anomalous subdiffusion due to binding of particles in arrays such as transcription factors in randomized DNA arrays; and computer-generated physical trajectories.

Abstract
The changes in structure of high internal phase emulsions at low concentrations and at elevated temperature are reported for comparison with the same emulsions under conditions well away from instability. Small angle neutron scattering measurements on aqueous ammonium nitrate droplets dispersed in hexadecane and stabilized by very small quantities of a polyisobutylene-based surfactant (PIBSA) as well as related inverse micellar solutions in hexadecane, have been made as a function of temperature and surfactant concentration. Experimental conditions here favour larger and more deformable droplets than in previous studies. Besides the expected micelles and adsorbed surfactant, planar bilayers of micron lateral extent between touching droplets cover 20% of the droplet surface. Another difference from previous experiments is that the oil phase in the emulsions, and corresponding inverse micellar solutions are different in micellar radii and composition. The differences, and changes with surfactant concentration and temperature, are attributed to fractionation of the polydisperse PIBSA in the emulsions, but not the inverse micellar solutions. At low PIBSA concentration and high temperature the SANS shows emulsion decomposing into separate oil and aqueous phases. This occurs when the micelle concentration reaches a very small but measurable value. The inverse micelles may suppress by steric action long wavelength unstable capillary waves in the bilayers. Depletion repulsion forces here have a minor role in the emulsion stabilization.
