Abstract
The fat in coconut milk contributes to unique flavour, while increasing fat content affects stability of the coconut milk. In this study, coconut water and fat were separated, recombined, and homogenized to obtain coconut milk with different fat contents (0-20 %). Emulsifying properties, stability, and digestibility of coconut milk with different fat contents were comprehensively evaluated. The results showed that as the fat content increased from 0 to 20 %, the droplet size increased from 2.18 to 4.70 μm and the viscosity showed an increasing trend. During storage and freeze-thaw, coconut milk with 5 % and 10 % fat content showed excellent stability. In addition, coconut milk with 10 % fat content had superior fat digestibility, which was related to high affinity of pancrelipase. In short, this study revealed that fat content below 10 % can withstand environmental factors such as storage, lipid oxidation, and freeze-thaw, which can be accurately developed as coconut milk products.

Comparison of sea buckthorn fruit oil nanoemulsions stabilized by protein-polysaccharide conjugates prepared using β-glucan from various sources. Food Chem 2024; 457:140098. [PMID: 38901345 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
To understand the influence of β-glucans structure on the emulsifying properties of protein-polysaccharide conjugates, sodium caseinate (NaCas) was utilized to form glycosylation conjugates with varying degrees of glycosylation (10.68-17.50%) using three β-glucans from bacteria, yeast, and oats. This process induced alterations in the secondary structure of protein. The nanoemulsions prepared with the glycosylated conjugates exhibited superior stability compared to those formulated solely with NaCas, particularly under conditions of drastic pH fluctuations and extended storage periods. The nanoemulsion prepared with the NaCas-Salecan conjugate demonstrated exceptional stability at pH 4 and 6, or storage for 20 days. Additionally, it significantly attenuated the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and exhibited the lowest levels of aggregation, flocculation, and free fatty acid release rate during in vitro digestion. This study suggested the potential of the NaCas-Salecan conjugates in enhancing the stability of nanoemulsions and facilitating the colorectal-targeted delivery of sea buckthorn fruit oil.

Abstract
In this study, the impact of soy hull polysaccharide (SHP) concentration on high-internal-phase emulsions (HIPEs) formation and the gastrointestinal viability of Lactobacillus plantarum within HIPEs were demonstrated. Following the addition of SHP, competitive adsorption with soy protein isolate (SPI) occurred, leading to increased protein adhesion to the oil-water interface and subsequent coating of oil droplets. This process augmented viscosity and enhanced HIPEs stability. Specifically, 1.8 % SHP had the best encapsulation efficiency and delivery efficiency, reaching 99.3 % and 71.1 %, respectively. After 14 d of continuous zebrafishs feeding, viable counts of Lactobacillus plantarum and complex probiotics in the intestinal tract was 1.1 × 107, 1.3 × 107, respectively. In vitro experiments further proved that HIPEs' ability to significantly enhance probiotics' intestinal colonization and provided targeted release for colon-specific delivery. These results provided a promising strategy for HIPEs-encapsulated probiotic delivery systems in oral food applications.

Enhanced environmental stress resistance and functional properties of the curcumin-shellac nano-delivery system: Anti-flocculation of poly-γ-glutamic acid. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131607. [PMID: 38631573 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
Curcumin was widely designed as nanoparticles to remove application restrictions. The occurrence of flocculation is a primary factor limiting the application of the curcumin nano-delivery system. To enhance the environmental stress resistance and functional properties of shellac-curcumin nanoparticles (S-Cur-NPs), γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) was utilized as an anti-flocculant. The encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of S-Cur-NPs were also improved with γ-PGA incorporation. FTIR and XRD analysis confirmed the presence of amorphous characteristics in S-Cur-NPs and the combination of γ-PGA and shellac was driven by hydrogen bonding. The hydrophilic, thermodynamic, and surface potential of S-Cur-NPs was improved by the incorporation of γ-PGA. This contribution of γ-PGA on S-Cur-NPs effectively mitigated the flocculation occurrence during heating, storage, and in-vitro digestive treatment. Furthermore, it was revealed that γ-PGA enhanced the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of S-Cur-NPs and effectively protected the functional activity against heating, storage, and in-vitro digestion. Release studies conducted in simulated gastrointestinal fluids revealed that S-Cur-NPs have targeted intestinal release properties. Overall, the design of shellac with γ-PGA was a promising strategy to relieve the application stress of shellac and curcumin in the food industry.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine rheological and disperse characteristics and stability of oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by soy protein isolate (SPI) and xanthan gum (XG), as natural components. The effects of their combination on emulsion stabilization have not been investigated yet. The existence of interactions between the two macromolecules were indicated by the influence of XG on SPI surface hydrophobicity and surface tension values. Increase in SPI concentration from 1 to 3 % shift of distribution curves towards smaller particle size, while the opposite effects of further increase of SPI was obtained. The emulsions stabilized by SPI showed shear-thinning flow behavior, which changed to thixotropic at 5 % of SPI concentration. The presence of XG in emulsions at low concentrations did not affect the size distribution of the droplets, while at 0.1 % of XG Sauter mean diameter value raised and distribution curves were shifted towards a higher particle size. The presence of XG at higher concentration resulted in thixotropic flow behavior of emulsions. Also, increase in XG concentration led to the increase in consistency index and extent of non-Newtonian behavior of emulsions and enhanced the influence of the elastic modulus and creaming stability of the systems.

Abstract
Protein particle-stabilized emulsions often lack thermal stability, impacting their industrial use. This study investigated the effects of genipin (GP)-zein cross-linked particles with varying GP-to-protein weight ratios (0/0.02/0.1:1) on emulsion thermal stability. Enhanced stability was observed at the GP level of 0.1. Heat treatment increased the covalent cross-linking in raw particles and emulsions. Isolated particles from heated emulsions grew in size (micrometer scale) with higher GP levels, unlike heated raw particles (nanoscale). GP-protein cross-linking reduced the droplet-droplet and particle-emulsifier interactions in the heated emulsion. Spectroscopic analysis and electrophoresis revealed that GP-zein cross-linking increased protein structural stability and inhibited nondisulfide and non-GP cross-linking reactions in heated emulsions. The GP-zein bridges between particles at the oil-water interface create strong connections in the particle layer (shell), referred to as "particle-shell locking", enhancing the thermal stability of emulsion significantly. This insight aids the future design of protein-particle-based emulsions, preserving properties like aeratability during thermal processing.

Abstract
This study was to improve the physical and oxidative stability of sodium caseinate (NaCas)-stabilized oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with arabinoxylan hydrolysates (AXHs). AXHs with different molecular sizes were prepared using xylanase treatment for 0 (AXH0), 30 (AXH30), 60 (AXH60), and 120 (AXH120) min, respectively. Compared with the emulsion without AXHs, all AXHs emulsions showed increased coalescence stability, evidenced by no change occurred in the droplet size with the pH variation from 7.0 to 5.0. Moreover, at pH 7.0 and 5.0, AXH60 and AXH120 emulsions showed no flocculation, coalescence, or creaming before and after 21 d storage. All the AXH samples showed excellent antioxidant capacities, demonstrated by the slow accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances during storage. In sum, rice bran arabinoxylans hydrolyzed ≥60 min possess a potential as effective antioxidants to form physically and oxidatively stable O/W emulsions at pH above the emulsifier pI, and substances with high antioxidant activity below the emulsifier pI still need to be explored.

Abstract
Lactose crystallization during storage deteriorates reconstitution performance of milk powders, but the relationship between lactose crystallization and reconstitution is inexplicit. The objective of this study is to characterize crystalline lactose in the context of formulation and elucidate the complex relationship between lactose crystallization and powder functionality. Lactose in Skim Milk Powder (SMP), Whole Milk Powder (WMP) and Fat-Filled Milk Powder (FFMP) stored under 23 %, 53 % and 75 % Relative Humidity (RH) at 25 ℃ for four months was compared. Lactose, surface chemistry and microstructure of FFMP stored at 25 ℃ and 40 ℃ at 23 % to 75 % RH for four months were also analyzed and interpreted. At the same RH, FFMP crystallized in the same pattern as WMP. At 53 % RH, FFMP and WMP differentiated from SMP in terms of lactose morphology as well as the ratio between anhydrous α-lactose and anhydrous β-lactose. Lactose remained amorphous at 23 % RH, crystallized predominantly to α/β-lactose (1:4) at 40 to 58 % RH and to α-lactose monohydrate at 75 % RH. The crystallinity index was similar for all powders containing crystalline lactose. The estimated crystallite size increased from approx. 0.1 to 20 µm with increasing RH and temperature. When amorphous lactose crystallized into crystals below approx. 0.1 µm at 25 °C and 43 % RH, the microstructure and surface lipid were comparable to that of the reference powder. This powder reconstituted into a stable suspension system comparable to that of reference (well performing) powders. These results demonstrate that crystallite size is the key property linking lactose crystallization and reconstitution. Our finding thus indicates limiting crystallite size is important for maintaining desired product quality.

Abstract
Myofibrillar protein (MP) aggregate models have been established to elucidate the correlation between their aggregate sizes and interfacial properties. The interfacial layer thickness was measured by the polystyrene latex method and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation measurement. Interfacial conformations were then characterized in situ (front-surface fluorescence spectroscopy) and ex situ (reactive sulfhydryl group and secondary structure measurement following MP displacement). The viscoelasticity of the interfacial film and its resistance to surfactant-induced competitive displacement were reflected by the dilatational rheology and dynamic interfacial tension with the bulk phase exchange. Finally, we compared the findings of competitive displacement before/after adding a sulfhydryl-blocking agent, N-ethylmaleimide, to highlight the role of S-S linkage on interfacial film formation and stability. We substantiated that the aggregate size of the MP governed their interfacial properties. Small-sized aggregates exhibited more ordered secondary structures on the oil-water interface, which was conducive to the adsorption ratio of the protein and the adsorption dynamics. Although larger aggregates lowered the diffusion rate during interfacial film formation, they allowed the thicker and more viscoelastic interfacial film to be constructed afterward through more disulfide bond formation, resulting in greater resistance to surfactant-induced competitive displacement.

Abstract
The incorporation of lipid droplets and further characterization of matrices within dairy products may be possible using such adjacent particles as protein complexes/lipids. Among the range of varied emulsions and their functionalities, great attention has recently focused on the fabrication of high internal phase types. Feasibly, stable alternatives structured with health-beneficial lipids like those derived from plants could replace saturated fatty acids. As a fat replacement strategy, the fate of incorporated HIPE would require some adjustments either with storage stability and/or structural feat for the food matrix. Therefore, the replacement of milk fat by rapeseed oil stabilised emulsion in commercial yogurt was investigated. This involved 25%, 50% and 75% rapeseed oil respectively assigned as low (LIPE), medium (MIPE), and high internal phase emulsion (HIPE). Specifically, emulsions were examined by droplet size, encapsulation, pH, zeta potential, phase separation, and rheology. The fat free yogurt supplemented by HIPE were examined by droplet size, zeta potential, pH, color, sensory, texture and microbiological aspects against positive (regular milk fat) and negative (fat free) yogurt controls. Results showed increasing rapeseed oil contents would form smaller droplet-like emulsions. Within the yogurt matrix however, incorporating HIPE would seemingly reduce oil droplet size without much compromise to bacterial viability, sensory, or texture. Overall, this simple method of lipid alternation shows promise in dairy products.

[PMID: 37986450 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the delivery of functional factor β-carotene by emulsion stabilized with whey protein isolate-Mesona chinensis polysaccharide (WPI-MCP) conjugate. Results showed that the WPI-MCP complex had better antioxidant properties than WPI. Correspondingly, the emulsions stabilized by this complex also had better oxidative stability compared with protein emulsions alone. The particle size of WPI-MCP emulsion was smaller and had a better stability when MCP was added at 0.2 % (w/v). The sizes of WPI-MCP and WPI emulsions were 3594.33 and 7765.67 nm at pH 4, indicating improved emulsion stability around isoelectric point of WPI. At different NaCl concentrations, the absolute values of zeta-potential of WPI-MCP emulsions were larger than that of WPI emulsions except 0.1 % (mol/L) NaCl. The sizes of WPI and WPI-MCP emulsions were 2384.32 and 790.12 nm, respectively. During in vitro digestion, WPI-MCP stabilized emulsions slowed down the release of free fatty acids and achieved about 80 % bioaccessibility of β-carotene, indicating that WPI-MCP-stabilized emulsions encapsulating β-carotene can effectively control the release of bioactive substances. These studies have potential significance and value for the construction of food-grade emulsion delivery system.

Abstract
Preservation of foods, along with health and safety issues, is a growing concern in the current generation. Essential oils have emerged as a natural means for the long-term protection of foods along with the maintenance of their qualities. Direct applications of essential oils have posed various constraints to the food system and also have limitations in application; hence, encapsulation of essential oils into biopolymers has been recognized as a cutting-edge technology to overcome these challenges. This article presents and evaluates the strategies for the development of encapsulated essential oils on the basis of fascination with the modeling and shuffling of various biopolymers, surfactants, and co-surfactants, along with the utilization of different fabrication processes. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have enabled the preparation of different nanoemulsion formulations, synthesis strategies, stability, and release kinetics of essential oils or their bioactive components from nanoemulsions with improved efficacy in food systems. Different mathematical models for the stability and delivery kinetics of essential oils in food systems have also been discussed. The article also explains the advanced application of modeling-based encapsulation strategies on the preservation of a variety of food commodities with their intended implication in food and agricultural industries.

Abstract
Despite the broad research available in the literature dealing with garlic health benefits, little information is found regarding the functional properties of garlic components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the emulsification properties of garlic water-soluble compounds (GWSC), encompassing proteins, saponins, and carbohydrates, after heat treatment (10 min at 95 °C) or pH adjustments (2.5, 3.5, and 7.8). After the various treatments, the extracts were used as such or filtrated (0.45 µm), and 10% soybean oil-in-water emulsions were prepared using low (0.48%) or high (6.55% wt/wt) extract concentrations. Results showed that whereas at low GWSC concentrations, both heating and acidifying resulted in the formation of bigger oil droplet sizes (i.e., from d32 = 0.36 µm using unmodified extract to d32 = 7-22 µm at pH 2.5 with or without extract filtration), the effects were opposite at the highest GWSC concentration. In the latter, heat treatment clearly reduced the droplet size as observed from the micrographs as well as the degree of creaming, though the occurrence of depletion and/or bridging flocculation was still strong. The acidification of the extract at this high GWSC concentration significantly reduced the droplet size, as observed from the micrographs; however, a strong flocculation was observed. Removal of protein aggregates, and possibly also saponin micelles, from the extract resulted in an obvious increase in emulsion droplet size. This research brings valuable insights on this study and utilisation of novel natural food emulsifiers from plant sources.

Abstract
Insect proteins have gained attention as novel ingredients, which may contribute to the development of high-value-added products. This study evaluates the emulsifying and emulsion-stabilizing properties of Tenebrio molitor larvae protein preparations obtained through different procedures, leading to the following rich-in-protein samples: ASP (∼67 %), AIP (∼75 %), and SSP (∼62 %). The method applied for protein isolation influenced the molecular and structural characteristics of the preparations, thus affecting their adsorption behaviour at oil-water interfaces and ability to stabilize emulsions. O/w emulsions were prepared, and their physicochemical stability was assessed with respect to droplet size, oil droplet flocculation/coalescence, microstructure, and creaming upon storage as well as after thermal and freeze-thaw treatments. The use of ASP and AIP protein preparation as emulsifiers led to higher stability during storage. All emulsions were stable upon heating and able to withstand two freeze-thaw cycles without phase separation, although there was an increase in droplet size. Interestingly, the AIP emulsion remained stable after the 3rd freeze-thaw cycle, indicating remarkable stability under freezing compared to the other two emulsions. These findings are of great importance for the formulation of food-grade emulsions using insect protein preparations and their future exploitation in developing food items subjected to different treatments.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main cause of gastric diseases. However, the traditional antibiotic treatment of H. pylori is limited due to increased antibiotic resistance, low efficacy, and low drug concentration in the stomach. This study developed a Nano-emulsion system with ability to carry Curcumin and Clarithromycin to protect them against stomach acidity and increase their efficacy against H. pylori. We used oil in water emulsion system to prepare a novel Curcumin Clarithromycin Nano-Emulsion (Cur-CLR-NE). The nano-emulsion was validated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique, zeta potential; transmission electron microscopy (mean particle size 48 nm), UV-visible scanning and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The in vitro assay of Cur-CLR-NE against H. pylori was evaluated by minimum inhibitory concentration (12.5 to 6.26 µg/mL), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and anti-biofilm that showed a higher inhibitory effect of Cur-CLR-NE in compere with, free curcumin and clarithromycin against H. pylori. The in vivo results indicated that Cur-CLR-NE showed higher H. pylori clearance effect than free clarithromycin or curcumin under the same administration frequency and the same dose regimen. Histological analysis clearly showed that curcumin is highly effective in repairing damaged tissue. In addition, a potent synergistic effect was obvious between clarithromycin and curcumin in nano-emulsion system. The inflammation, superficial damage, the symptoms of gastritis including erosion in the mouse gastric mucosa, necrosis of the gastric epithelium gastric glands and interstitial oedema of tunica muscularis were observed in the positive control infected mice and absent from treated mice with Cur-CLR-NE.

Improvement of amphipathic properties with molecular structure unfolding and activation of cottonseed protein as ultra stable and safe emulsifier by deamidation. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 247:125802.

Abstract
By-product cottonseed proteins are excellent options for numerous applications due to their superior properties and lower cost. However, its complex folded structure and large molecular weight lead to lower reactivity and insufficient amphiphilicity. Cottonseed protein isolate (CPI) is less-soluble in water. Therefore, we improved the amphiphilicity of CPI with associated hydrolysis, molecular structure unfolding, and activation by alkaline-induced deamidation (at 24, 36, and 72 h) and produced three cottonseed protein hydrolysates CPH 24, 36, and 72. FTIR/UV-CD measurements confirmed the conformational changes and conversion of the structural content. Particle size decreased 2503.4-771.8 nm, while surface hydrophobicity (133.5-326.7), carboxyl content (1.13 × 10־3-2.09 × 10־3), and flexibility increased, signifying hydrolysis, unfolding, and amphiphilicity improvement. Longer deamidation (CPH 72) exhibited the best properties, its prepared emulsions were long-term stable under all the environmental stresses without visible phase separation after at least 40 days of storage except at pH 4. Compared to CPI, it had smaller droplets (939.3-264.9 nm) and larger absolute ζ-potential (-26.5 to -58.0 mV). From the in-vitro cytotoxicity test, deamidated CPI is extremely safer than commonly used synthetic surfactants. This research provides a new method for producing multifunctional emulsifiers from CPI, which could be utilized in the development of functional foods/non-foods.

Abstract
The sensitivity of protein-stabilized emulsions to flocculation, coalescence, and phase separation under destabilization conditions (i.e., heating, aging, pH, ionic strength, and freeze-thawing) may limit the widespread use of proteins as effective emulsifiers. Therefore, there is a great interest in modulating and improving the technological functionality of food proteins by conjugating them with polysaccharides, through the Maillard reaction. The present review article highlights the current approaches of protein-polysaccharide conjugate formation, their interfacial properties, and the behavior of protein-polysaccharide conjugate stabilized emulsions under various destabilization conditions, including long-term storage, heating and freeze-thawing treatments, acidic conditions, high ionic strength, and oxidation. Protein-polysaccharide conjugates are capable of forming a thick and cohesive macromolecular layer around oil droplets in food emulsions and stabilizing them against flocculation and coalescence under unfavorable conditions, through steric and electrostatic repulsion. The protein-polysaccharide conjugates could be therefore industrially used to design emulsion-based functional foods with high physicochemical stability.

Abstract
The effects of different pH levels and ionic strength in calcium on the stability and aeration characteristics of dairy emulsions were investigated in this study. The results revealed that the stability and aeration characteristics of the emulsion were enhanced as the pH value increased from 6.5 to 7.0 and were optimal within the pH of 6.8~7.0, while the concentration of free calcium ions (Ca2+) was 2.94~3.22 mM. With the pH subsequently fixed at 6.8 and 7.0, when the addition of CaCl2 was increased to 2.00 mM (free Ca2+ strength > 4.11 mM), stability and aeration characteristics reduced significantly, including the flocculation of fat globules, an increase in particle size, and a decrease in the zeta potential and viscosity of the O/W emulsion, all leading to an increase in interfacial protein mass and decreased overrun and foam firmness. Overall, the results indicated that pH changes and CaCl2 addition significantly influenced the stability and aeration characteristics of dairy emulsions, by influencing free Ca2+ strength, which is an important factor in determining the quality of dairy emulsions.

Abstract
An increased interest has been observed in the application of soybean protein isolate (SPI) into O/W emulsion because of the amphipathic characteristics of SPI. However, at pH around 4.5, SPI was almost lost its hydrophilic characteristic, thus greatly limiting its application in emulsion under an acidic environment. Therefore, this drawback of SPI needs to be urgently solved. This study aims to investigate the effect of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) on physicochemical properties of SPI-stabilized O/W emulsion. The results suggested that the interaction between γ-PGA and SPI improved the SPI solubility in solution, and increased emulsifying properties of SPI in the pH range of 4.0-5.0 via electrostatic interaction. Meanwhile, the charge neutralisation between SPI emulsions with γ-PGA was confirmed via ζ-potentiometry. With the presence of γ-PGA in emulsion at pH 4.0 and 5.0, the electrostatic complexation between SPI and anionic γ-PGA exhibited decreased the viscosity of SPI emulsion, which might be related to the phenomenon as indicated by the confocal laser scanning microscope measurements. Therefore, the electrostatic complexation between SPI and γ-PGA suggested that the promising potential of γ-PGA to be used in SPI-stabilized O/W emulsion under an acidic environment.

Abstract
Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems that tend to separate into two immiscible phases over time. The interfacial layer formed by the emulsifiers adsorbed at the oil-water interface plays an important role in the emulsion stability. The interfacial layer properties of emulsion droplets have been considered the cutting-in points that influence emulsion stability, a traditional motif of physical chemistry and colloid chemistry of particular significance in relation to the food science and technology sector. Although many attempts have shown that high interfacial viscoelasticity may contribute to long-term emulsion stability, a universal relationship for all cases between the interfacial layer features at the microscopic scale and the bulk physical stability of the emulsion at the macroscopic scale remains to be established. Not only that, but integrating the cognition from different scales of emulsions and establishing a unified single model to fill the gap in awareness between scales also remain challenging. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the general science of emulsion stability with a peculiar focus on interfacial layer characteristics in relation to the formation and stabilization of food emulsions, where the natural origin and edible safety of emulsifiers and stabilizers are highly requested. This review begins with a general overview of the construction and destruction of interfacial layers in emulsions to highlight the most important physicochemical characteristics of interfacial layers (formation kinetics, surface load, interactions among adsorbed emulsifiers, thickness and structure, and shear and dilatational rheology), and their roles in controlling emulsion stability. Subsequently, the structural effects of a series of typically dietary emulsifiers (small-molecule surfactants,proteins, polysaccharides, protein-polysaccharide complexes, and particles) on oil-water interfaces in food emulsions are emphasized. Finally, the main protocols developed for modifying the structural characteristics of adsorbed emulsifiers at multiple scales and improving the stability of emulsions are highlighted. Overall, this paper aims to comprehensively study the literature findings in the past decade and find out the commonality of multi-scale structures of emulsifiers, so as to deeply understand the common characteristics and emulsification stability behaviour of adsorption emulsifiers with different interfacial layer structures. It is difficult to say that there has been significant progress in the underlying principles and technologies in the general science of emulsion stability over the last decade or two. However, the correlation between interfacial layer properties and physical stability of food emulsions promotes revealing the role of interfacial rheological properties in emulsion stability, providing guidance on controlling the bulk properties by tuning the interfacial layer functionality.

Abstract
Protein-polysaccharide-polyphenol delivery systems function as a promising tool to deliver bioactive ingredients aiming to improve their solubility and bioavailability. In this study, whey protein isolate (WPI), short-chain inulin (SCI), and cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) were first used to stabilize Pickering emulsions. The physicochemical properties and stability of curcumin encapsulated or not in Pickering emulsions were explored. Results showed that glycosylation and C3G reduced surface and interfacial tension on protein surfaces and inhibited the aggregation of emulsion droplets, thereby reducing the emulsion's particle size. WPI-SCI/C3G stabilized Pickering emulsion had the best stability. The CLSM results showed that the WPI-SCI and WPI-SCI/C3G stabilized emulsions were uniformly dispersed, suggesting that glycosylation and the interaction between protein and C3G enhanced the adsorption capacity of the interfacial protein and improved the stability of the Pickering emulsion. The retention rates of curcumin-loaded WPI-SCI- (67.34 %) and WPI-SCI/C3G- (77.07 %) stabilized Pickering emulsions on day 8 of storage were higher than those in WPI- (33.97 %) and WPI/C3G- (37.02 %) stabilized emulsions, and the degradation half-life was also extended from 7 days to >15 days. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the application of WPI Pickering emulsion and indicate a useful means for the delivery of bioactive components.

Abstract
Emulsion gels, also known as gelled emulsions or emulgels, have garnered great attention both in fundamental research and practical applications due to their superior stability, tunable morphology and microstructure, and promising mechanical and functional properties. From an application perspective, attention in this area has been, historically, mainly focused on food industries, e.g., engineering emulsion gels as fat substitutes or delivery systems for bioactive food ingredients. However, a growing body of studies has, in recent years, begun to demonstrate the full potential of emulsion gels as soft templates for designing advanced functional materials widely applied in a variety of fields, spanning chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, and materials science. Herein, a concise and comprehensive overview of emulsion gels is presented, from fundamentals to applications, highlighting significant recent progress and open questions, to scout for and deepen their potential applications in more fields.

Heat treatment in the presence of arginine increases the emulsifying properties of soy proteins. Food Chem X 2023; 17:100567.

Abstract
This study aimed to improve the emulsifying properties of commercial soy protein isolates (CSPIs). CSPIs were thermally denatured without additives (CSPI_H) and with arginine (CSPI_A), urea (CSPI_U), and guanidine hydrochloride (CSPI_G), which improve protein solubility to prevent aggregation. These additives were removed by dialysis, and the samples were lyophilized. CSPI_A resulted in high emulsifying properties. FT-IR analysis showed that the β-sheet content in CSPI_A was reduced compared to that of untreated CSPI (CSPI_F). Fluorescence analysis showed that the tryptophan-derived emission peak of CSPI_A shifted between CSPI_F and CSPI_H which was exposed to hydrophobic amino acid chains with aggregation. As a result, the structure of CSPI_A became moderately unfolded and exposed the hydrophobic amino acid chains without aggregation. The CSPI_A solution had a more reduced oil-water interface tension than other CSPIs. These results support that CSPI_A attaches efficiently to the oil-water interface and produces small, less flocculated emulsions.

Abstract
Ultrasonic-assisted treatment is an eco-friendly and cost-effective emulsification method, and the acoustic cavitation effect produced by ultrasonic equipment is conducive to the formation of stable emulsion. However, its effect on the underlying stability of low-molecular-weight oyster peptides (LOPs) functional-nutrition W1/O/W2 double emulsion has not been reported. The effects of different ultrasonic power (50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 W) on the stability of double emulsions and the ability to mask the fishy odor of LOPs were investigated. Low ultrasonic power (50 W and 75 W) treatment failed to form a well-stabilized double emulsion, and excessive ultrasound treatment (150 W) destroyed its structure. At an ultrasonic power of 125 W, smaller particle-sized double emulsion was formed with more uniform distribution, more whiteness, and a lower viscosity coefficient. Meanwhile, the cavitation effect generated by 125 W ultrasonic power improved storage, and oxidative stabilities, emulsifying properties of double emulsion by reducing the droplet size and improved sensorial acceptability by masking the undesirable flavor of LOPs. The structure of the double emulsion was further confirmed by optical microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The ultrasonic-assisted treatment is of potential value for the industrial application of double emulsion in functional-nutrition foods.

Spray-Dried Infant Formula Emulsion Stability as Affected by Pre-Heat Treatment and Total Solids Content of the Feed. Foods 2022; 11:foods11233752.

Abstract
Pre-spray-drying processing may affect stability after reconstitution of emulsion-based powders, such as infant formulas. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of pasteurization temperature and total solids (TS) of the feed on the stability of the emulsions obtained from the reconstituted powders. Four infant formula powders (50%-75 °C, 50%-100 °C, 60%-75 °C, and 60%-100 °C) were produced at pilot scale, from emulsions with 50 or 60% TS pasteurized at 75 or 100 °C for 18 s. Both the emulsion feeds and the emulsions from the reconstituted powders (12.5% TS) were analyzed. The results showed that feeds with 60% TS were flocculated, as indicated by the large particle size and viscosity and the pseudoplastic behavior. Light microscopy revealed that, during spray drying, the flocs were disrupted in 60%-100 °C, while the 60%-75 °C emulsion remained flocculated, reducing its stability post-reconstitution. Although all four emulsions were mainly stabilized by caseins, the presence of β-lactoglobulin was also detected at the oil-water interface, in native state in the formulas preheated at 75 °C and aggregated in the formulas preheated at 100 °C. In conclusion, both the degree of whey protein denaturation (resulting from pasteurization) and the TS of the concentrates during infant formula production affected the emulsion stability of the reconstituted powders.

Abstract
The aim of the paper was to investigate the effect of ultrasonic emulsification treatment on the fabrication mechanism and stability of the emulsion. The covalent conjugate made with rice bran protein hydrolysate (RBPH) and ferulic acid (FA) was used as the emulsifier. The effects of high intensity ultrasound (HIU) power with different level (0 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W and 600 W) on the stability of emulsion were evaluated. The results showed that ultrasonic emulsification can significantly improve the stability of the emulsions (p < 0.05). The emulsion gained better stability and emulsifying property at 300 W. It was able to fabricate emulsion with smaller particle size, more uniform distribution and higher interfacial protein content. It was confirmed by fluorescent microscopy and cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) furtherly. And it was also proved that the emulsion treated by proper HIU treatment at 300 W had better storage stability. Excessive HIU treatment (450 W, 600 W) had negative effects on the stability of emulsion. The stability of emulsion (300 W) against different environmental stresses was further explored, which established a theoretical basis for the industrial application of emulsion in food industry.

Abstract
Objective Nowadays, the use of silicones in cosmetic formulation is still controversial, given that “natural” or “biodegradable” components are preferred. Often, the exclusion and/or the discrimination of these excipients from cosmetic field are unmotivated because all things cannot be painted with the same brush. Hence, we want to bring to light and underline the advantages of including silicones in cosmetic emulsions, refuting and debunking some myths related to their use. Methods Silicone‐free and silicone‐based emulsions were obtained within an easy homogenization process. Droplet size distribution was assessed by laser diffraction particle size analyser Mastersizer 2000™, and by optical microscopy. The long‐time stability profiles were investigated thanks to the optical analyser Turbiscan® Lab Expert. Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) by Rheolaser Master™ and frequency sweep measurements by Kinexus® Pro Rotational Rheometer were carried out to assess a full rheological characterization. In vivo studies were carried out by the evaluation of Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) over time on healthy human volunteers. A skin feeling rating was collected from the same volunteers by questionnaire. Results From size distribution analysis, a better coherence of data appeared for silicone‐based emulsion, as the size of the droplets was kept unchanged after 1 month, as well as the uniformity parameter. Morphological investigation confirmed a homogenous droplet distribution for both samples. Silicones enhanced the viscosity, compactness and strength of the cream, providing a suitable stability profile both at room temperature and when heated at 40°C. The solid‐like viscoelastic behaviour was assessed in the presence of dynamic oscillatory stresses. The monitoring of TEWL over time demonstrated non‐occlusive properties of emulsions containing silicones, the values of which were comparable to the negative control. Silicone‐based emulsions gained higher scores from the volunteers in silkiness, freshness and softness features, while lower scores were obtained in greasiness compared to silicone‐free emulsions. No cases of irritation were recorded by the candidates. Conclusion The presence of specific silicones inside a cosmetic product improved its technological characteristics. The rheological identity and the stability feature showed the real suitability of prepared emulsion as a cosmetic product. Moreover, this study demonstrated that silicone‐based emulsions are safe for the skin and did not cause skin occlusion. Improved skin sensations are registered by potential consumers when silicones are included in the formulation.

Abstract
Although traditional meat products are highly popular with consumers, the high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol present significant health concerns. However, simply using plant oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids to replace animal fat in meat products causes a decline in product quality, such as lower levels of juiciness and hardness. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fat substitute that can ensure the sensory quality of the product while reducing its fat content. Consequently, using emulsion gels to produce structured oils or introducing functional ingredients has attracted substantial attention for replacing the fat in meat products. This paper delineated emulsion gels into protein, polysaccharide, and protein–polysaccharide compound according to the matrix. The preparation methods and the application of the three emulsion gels as fat substitutes in meat products were reviewed. Since it displayed a unique separation structure, the double emulsion was highly suitable for encapsulating bioactive substances, such as functional oils, flavor components, and functional factors, while it also exhibited significant potential for developing low-fat or functional healthy meat products. This paper summarized the studies involving the utilization of double emulsion and gelled double emulsion as fat replacement agents to provide a theoretical basis for related research and new insight into the development of low-fat meat products.

Abstract
The demand for clean labels has increased the importance of natural texture modifying ingredients. Proteins are unique compounds that can impart unique textural and structural changes in food. However, lack of solubility and extensive aggregability of proteins have increased the demand for enzymatically hydrolyzed proteins, to impart functional and structural modifications to food products. The review elaborates the recent application of various proteins, protein hydrolysates, and their role in texture modification. The impact of protein hydrolysates interaction with other food macromolecules, the effect of pretreatments, and dependence of various protein functionalities on textural and structural modification of food products with controlled enzymatic hydrolysis are explained in detail. Many researchers have acknowledged the positive effect of enzymatically hydrolyzed proteins on texture modification over natural protein. With enzymatic hydrolysis, various textural properties including foaming, gelling, emulsifying, water holding capacity have been effectively improved. It is evident that each protein is unique and imparts exceptional structural changes to different food products. Thus, selection of protein requires a fundamental understanding of its structure-substrate property relation. For wider applicability in the industrial sector, more studies on interactions at the molecular level, dosage, functionality changes, and sensorial attributes of protein hydrolysates in food systems are required.

Abstract
Understanding the complicated emulsion microstructures by microscopic images will help to further elaborate their mechanisms and relevance. The formidable goal of the classification and quantification of emulsion microstructure appears difficult to achieve. However, object detection algorithm in deep learning makes it feasible. This paper reports a new technique for evaluating Pickering emulsion properties through classification and quantification of the emulsion microstructure by object detection algorithm. The trained neural network models characterize the emulsion droplets by distinguishing between different individual emulsion droplets and morphological mechanisms from numerous microscopic images. The quantified results of the emulsion droplets presented in this study, provide details of statistical changes at different concentrations of the Pickering interface and storage temperatures enabling elucidation of the mechanisms involved. This methodology provides a new quantitative and statistical analysis of emulsion microstructure and properties.

Abstract
Oxidative attack leads to the oxidative aggregation and structural and functional feature weakening of soybean protein. We aimed to investigate the impact of ultrasonic treatment (UT) with different intensities on the structure, emulsifying features and interfacial features of oxidized soybean protein aggregates (OSPI). The results showed that oxidative treatment could disrupt the native soy protein (SPI) structure by promoting the formation of oxidized aggregates with β1-sheet structures through hydrophobic interactions. These changes led to a decrease in the solubility, emulsification ability and interfacial activity of soybean protein. After low-power ultrasound (100 W, 200 W) treatment, the relative contents of β1-sheets, β2-sheets, random coils, and disulfide bonds of the OSPI increased while the surface hydrophobicity, absolute ζ-potential value and free sulfhydryl content decreased. Moreover, protein aggregates with larger particle sizes and poor solubility were formed. The emulsions prepared using the OSPI showed bridging flocculation and decreased protein adsorption and interfacial tension. After applying medium-power ultrasound (300 W, 400 W, and 500 W) treatments, the OSPI solubility increased and particle size decreased. The α-helix and β-turn contents, surface hydrophobicity and absolute ζ-potential value increased, the structure unfolded, and the disulfide bond content decreased. These changes improved the emulsification activity and emulsion state of the OSPI and increased the protein adsorption capacity and interfacial tension of the emulsion. However, after a high-power ultrasound (600 W) treatment, the OSPI showed a tendency to reaggregate, which had a certain negative effect on the emulsification activity and interfacial activity. The results showed that UT at an appropriate power could depolymerize OSPI and improve the emulsification and interfacial activity of soybean protein.

Abstract
Tea water-insoluble protein nanoparticles (TWIPNs) can be applied to stabilize Pickering emulsions. However, the effect of ionic strength (0–400 mmol/L) on the characteristics of Pickering emulsions stabilized by TWIPNs (TWIPNPEs) including volume-averaged particle size (d4,3), zeta potential, microstructure and rheological properties is still unclear. Therefore, this work researched the effect of ionic strength on the characteristics of TWIPNPEs. The d4,3 of TWIPNPEs in the aquatic phase increased with the increase in ionic strength (0–400 mmol/L), which was higher than that in the SDS phase. Furthermore, the flocculation index of TWIPNPEs significantly (P < 0.05) increased from 24.48 to 152.92% with the increase in ionic strength. This could be verified from the microstructure observation. These results indicated that ionic strength could promote the flocculation of TWIPNPEs. Besides, the absolute values of zeta potential under different ionic strengths were above 40 mV in favor of the stabilization of TWIPNPEs. The viscosity of TWIPNPEs as a pseudoplastic fluid became thin when shear rate increased from 0.1 to 100 s−1. The viscoelasticity of TWIPNPEs increased with increasing ionic strength to make TWIPNPEs form a gel-like Pickering emulsion. the possible mechanism of flocculation stability of TWIPNPEs under different ionic strengths was propose. TWIPNs adsorbed to the oil-water interface would prompt flocculation between different emulsion droplets under the high ionic strength to form gel-like behavior verified by CLSM. These results on the characteristics of TWIPNPEs in a wide ionic strength range would provide the theoretical basis for applying Pickering emulsions stabilized by plant proteins in the food industry.

Abstract
While proteins have been widely used to encapsulate, protect, and regulate the release of bioactive food compounds, little is known about the influence of co-consumed proteins on the absorption of lipophilic constituents following digestion, such as vitamins (A, D, E, K), carotenoids, and curcumin. Their bioavailability is often low and very variable, depending on the food matrix and host factors. Some proteins can act as emulsifiers during digestion. Their liberated peptides have amphiphilic properties that can facilitate the absorption of microconstituents, by improving their transition from lipid droplets into mixed micelles. Contrarily, the less well digested proteins could negatively impinge on enzymatic accessibility to the lipid droplets, slowing down their processing into mixed micelles and entrapping apolar food compounds. Interactions with mixed micelles and proteins are also plausible, as shown earlier for drugs. This review focuses on the ability of proteins to act as effective emulsifiers of lipophilic vitamins, carotenoids, and curcumin during digestion. The functional properties of proteins, their chemical interactions with enzymes and food constituents during gastro-intestinal digestion, potentials and limitations for their use as emulsifiers are emphasized and data from human, animal, and in vitro trials are summarized.

Abstract
The food industry is trying to reformulate many of its products to replace functional ingredients that are chemically synthesized or isolated from animal sources (such as meat, fish, eggs, or milk) with ingredients derived from plant or microbial sources. This effort is largely a result of the demand for foods that are better for the environment, human health, and animal welfare. Many new kinds of plant- or microbial-derived proteins are being isolated for potential utilization as functional ingredients by the food industry. A major challenge in this area is the lack of standardized methods to measure and compare the functional performance of proteins under conditions they might be used in food applications. This information is required to select the most appropriate protein for each application. In this article, we discuss the physicochemical principles of emulsifier functionality and then present a series of analytical tests that can be used to quantify the ability of proteins to form and stabilize emulsions. These tests include methods for characterizing the effectiveness of the proteins to promote the formation and stability of the small droplets generated during homogenization, as well as their ability to stabilize the droplets against aggregation under different conditions (e.g., pH, ionic composition, temperature, and shearing). This information should be useful to the food industry when it is trying to identify alternative proteins to replace existing emulsifiers in specific food applications.

Abstract
In alginate-based emulsion gels containing protein-coated droplets, pH can influence the gelation mechanism of alginate gels, and the interactions between alginate molecules and protein-coated droplets, and thus properties of emulsion gels. This study investigated the impact of pH 3-7 on the properties (e.g., surface structures of droplets, mechanical properties, storage stability, digestion behavior) of alginate gel beads containing soy protein isolate(SPI)-stabilized oil droplets. Emulsion droplets were SPI-coated droplets at pH 6-7 and alginate/SPI-coated droplets at pH 3-5. Emulsion droplet flocculation only occurred in emulsions at pH 7.0. Emulsion gel beads at pH 3.0 had lower mechanical strength, higher storage stability, faster release of encapsulated lycopene during in-vitro digestion, and higher bioaccesibility of lycopene after 2 h of intestinal digestion than those at pH 7.0 and 5.0. The findings of this study are crucial to emulsion gel beads with controlled release and improved storage stability of encapsulated compounds by changing the pH of emulsions.

Abstract
Poor solubility of proteins negatively affects their functional properties and greatly limits their application. Enzymatic cross-linking with polysaccharides can improve solubility and functional properties of proteins. The enzymes used include transglutaminase, laccase and peroxidase. Therefore, this work introduces the cross-linking mechanisms of these enzymes and the characterization techniques, the improved properties and the potential applications of the enzymatically-synthesized protein-polysaccharide conjugate. Transglutaminase catalyzes the formation of a new peptide bond and thus works on amino-containing polysaccharides to conjugate with proteins. However, laccase and peroxidase catalyze oxidation of various compounds with phenol and aniline structures. Therefore, these two enzymes can catalyze the conjugate reaction between proteins and feruloylated polysaccharides which are widely distributed in cereal bran. Compared with the unmodified protein, the enzymatically-synthesized protein-polysaccharide conjugate usually has higher solubility and better functional properties. Thus, it is inferred that enzymatic conjugation with polysaccharide molecules can extend the application of proteins.

Abstract
Soy-based yoghurt alternatives are nowadays preferred by consumers. However, they are often perceived as too firm or too soft, sandy, or fibrous. In order to improve this, fibres, especially as in form of microgel particles (MGP), and fats are added to the soy matrix to create a creamy mouthfeel. Both fat and pectin-based MGP can interact with each other and with the protein matrix, creating different microstructures. This can influence the rheological and tribological properties of plant-based protein gels. This works focuses on the effect droplet stabilisation (coconut oil) on the rheological and tribological behaviour of the fermented stirred soy protein gels. For this, fat droplets were stabilised with MGP, SPI, or a mixture of both. Whilst the rheological behaviour remained unchanged for all investigated samples, the tribology of the samples depended on the emulsifier used. The addition of fat decreased the traction coefficient compared to the reference samples without fat. Even though all samples had the same fat content and identical droplet sizes, differences were observed in their lubricating properties. Droplets stabilised solely with SPI presented the best lubricating properties, as indicated by the lowest traction coefficient. Samples stabilised with MGP (or in mixture with SPI) caused higher friction.
