Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) on the stabilization and gelation of oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsions (PEs) with polyphenol-amino acid particles in the presence of inorganic salts. The results revealed that the CMCS-induced depletion interactions contributed to improving the emulsification ability and interfacial adsorption efficiency of polyphenol-amino acid particles as well as constructing the network structures in the continuous phase. These relevant changes collectively resulted in elevating stability, viscosity and moduli of PEs. The additional effects of different inorganic salts with varying additions were further investigated, and the addition-dependent phenomena were observed. At low additions of inorganic salts, the occurrence of the chelation of inorganic salts with CMCS consolidated the constructed network structure, favorable to the gelation of PEs. With increasing additions, this chelation effect became stronger which compromised the CMCS-induced depletion, gradually leading to destabilization of PEs. In terms of ion species, the more pronounced effect on emulsion stability was achieved with calcium ions than with potassium and iron ions. This study expects to provide a new perspective on the extending application of cationic CMCS for improving the stability of O/W PEs in the food industry.

ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:36343-36353.

Abstract
The stability of an emulsion has an important effect on enhancing oil recovery. However, the effect of ions with different valences on the stability of the emulsion emulsified by an ionic surfactant is not fully understood. In this study, the effects of Fe(III) species on the stability, microscopic morphology of droplets, interfacial properties, and rheological properties of water-model oil emulsions emulsified by sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) were explored. The effect of Fe(III) species on the stability of a W/O crude oil emulsion was also explored. The stability experiment results show that the addition of the Fe(III) species impairs the stability of the model oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion, in which the O/W model oil emulsion is inverted to a water-in-model oil (W/O) emulsion at ∼99 ppm. With the increase of Fe(III) species concentration, stable W/O model oil and W/O crude oil emulsions are obtained. The rheological results indicated that the existence of the Fe(III) species has a remarkable effect on the viscosity and viscoelastic behaviors of the water-model oil emulsion. The calculation results based on Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory are in accord with the stability experiment results. Furthermore, the addition of EO groups makes the phase inversion point appear at a higher Fe(III) species concentration, forming a more stable W/O model oil emulsion and a more unstable O/W model oil emulsion. The experimental results are helpful to comprehensively understand the effect of Fe(III) species on the stability of an emulsion emulsified by an anionic sulfonate surfactant, which can help to enhance the oil recovery.

NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11020425. [PMID: 33567523 PMCID: PMC7916033 DOI: 10.3390/nano11020425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 02/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Ferulic acid is a derivative of cinnamic acid showing efficacious anti-oxidant activity. It catalyzes the stable phenoxy radical formation, upon absorption of ultraviolet light, giving the strength to ferulic acid for terminating free radical chain reactions. Ultraviolet rays are one of the most dangerous factors that daily assault the skin, causing excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are regarded to be important contributors to a variety of cutaneous alterations. The skin possesses endogenous antioxidant defense systems, but the excess of ROS leads to an oxidant–antioxidant imbalance. Although ferulic acid is daily introduced in human organism with the diet, its bioavailability after oral administration is poor, particularly in the skin. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate three types of emulsions (W/O/W multiple emulsions and two simple emulsions) as suitable formulations for topical application of the active compound. In vitro studies were performed to investigate the stability and release profiles of these systems. Multiple emulsions showed great stability and the best ability to carry and release ferulic acid. In vivo evaluations highlighted their best capability to treat UV-B-induced erythema. These findings suggested multiple emulsions as an innovative and more efficient vehicle for topical application of ferulic acid.

Abstract
Rheological properties of the solution of an extended surfactant, sodium alkoxy sulfate (C8-(PO)4-(EO)1-SO4Na), are investigated as a function of the presence of various paraffinic oils over a range of salt conditions in the Winsor III microemulsion region at oil fractions where the microemulsion is "oil-starved". The addition of as small as 3 vol % alkane to 2 wt % surfactant solutions at salt concentrations where the oil-water interfacial tension is minimized induces a sudden shift in the rheological behavior. The solution viscosity increases by 5 orders of magnitude, with solid-like behaviors (G' > G″) being observed in the entire frequency region investigated (0.01-100 rad/s). Commonly, in the cases where wormlike micelles are present in the solution, alkanes are believed to be solubilized in the core of micelles, leading to a radial growth of the cylindrical part of the wormlike micelle, resulting in a drop of end-cap energy (EC) and micelle length and a reduction in viscosity. In this study, however, the addition of oil causes the formation of wormlike micelles. The viscosity of solubilized-oil samples does, however, decrease with an increase in incorporated oil volume. We hypothesize that this "abnormal oleo-responsive" viscoelastic behavior is related to a spacer of intermediate hydrophilicity, that is, polypropylene oxide (PO) segment of the alkoxy sulfate, being inserted between the hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head (the ethoxylated sulfate segment) of the extended surfactant. The addition of a small amount of oil likely extends the PO moiety and increases the tail length of the surfactant in the aggregates as well as reducing the headgroup size, driving the formation of wormlike micelles from a solution that initially had a viscosity consistent with the absence of such structures.
