[PMID: 38873677 PMCID: PMC11170136 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Food industry is increasingly using functional ingredients to improve the food product quality. Lipid-containing functional ingredients are important sources of nutrients. This review examines the current state of emulsification and stabilisation technologies for incorporating lipophilic functional ingredients into food systems. Lipophilic functional ingredients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids, and fat-soluble vitamins, offer numerous health benefits but present challenges due to their limited solubility in water-based food matrices. Emulsification techniques enable the dispersion of these ingredients in aqueous environments, facilitating their inclusion in a variety of food products. This review highlights recent advances in food emulsion formulation, emulsification methods and stabilisation techniques which, together, improve the stability and bioavailability of lipophilic compounds. The role of various emulsifiers, stabilizers, and encapsulation materials in enhancing the functionality of these ingredients is also explored. Furthermore, the review discusses different stabilisation techniques which can yield in emulsion in a solid or liquid state. By providing a comprehensive overview of current technologies, this review aims to guide future research and application in the development of functional foods enriched with lipophilic ingredients.

Zhou Q, Xu Z, Wei Z. Precise control of aggregation morphology: Effective strategy to tune the properties of ovotransferrin particles. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126850. [PMID: 37703969 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126850] [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: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
Different aggregation morphologies of ovotransferrin (OVT) aggregates were successfully obtained through precise control, and the effects on structural, physical, liquid-liquid and gas-liquid interfacial characteristics as well as mechanisms were explored for the first time. It was observed that the surface hydrophobicity of OVT fibrils was higher than OVT spheres due to the acid-heat treatment. The exploration of liquid-liquid interface behaviors indicated that OVT fibrils possessed higher adsorption capacity at the interface, revealing the higher surface activity at the oil-water interface. During adsorption process, fibrils exhibited higher diffusion rate, while spheres were easier to penetrate and rearrange at the interface. The interfacial film composed of fibrils possessed more elastic solid-like behaviors owing to the higher surface activity of individual fibrous aggregates and rapid fibril-fibril interactions. The analysis of gas-liquid interface characteristics presented that OVT spheres possessed lower interfacial tension and higher interfacial viscoelasticity, and showed significantly higher FC and FS values in comparation to fibrils. These findings will facilitate the reader's understanding of the relationship between protein aggregate structure and properties, and lay a foundation for broadening the application of OVT and even other proteins.

Homogenized soybean hull suspension as an emulsifier for oil/water emulsions: Synergistic effect of the insoluble fiber and soluble polysaccharide. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 237:123950. [PMID: 36898458 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123950] [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: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the functional properties of the soybean hull soluble fractions and insoluble fiber in stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions were investigated by changing the soluble fraction (SF) content in the soybean hull suspensions. High-pressure homogenization (HPH) caused the release of soluble materials (Polysaccharides and proteins) and the deagglomeration of insoluble fibers (IF) from soybean hulls. The apparent viscosity of the soybean hull fiber suspension increased as the SF content of the suspension increased; The absolute value of ζ-potential increased from 18 to 28 mV. In addition, the IF individually stabilized emulsion had the largest emulsion particle size (32.10 μm), but decreased as the SF content in the suspension increased to 10.53 μm. The microstructure of the emulsions showed that surface-active SF adsorbed at the oil-water interface formed an interfacial film, and microfibrils in IF formed a three-dimensional network in the aqueous phase, which synergistically stabilized the oil-in-water emulsion. The findings of this study are important for understanding emulsion systems stabilized by agricultural by-products.

Abstract
Along with the future food market developing world widely, the personalized nutrition and rational function food design are found to be urgently attracted. Oil in a water (O/W) emulsion system has an excellent ability to maintain nutraceuticals and thus plays a promising role in producing future functional foods. Understanding the interfacial related mechanisms involved are essential for improving the quality of food products. Protein can effectively reduce interfacial tension and stable immiscible phases. The interfacial properties of proteins directly affect the emulsion qualities, which have gradually become a prospective topic. This review will first briefly discuss the interfacial-related fundamental factors of proteins. Next, the paper thoroughly overviewed current physical and chemical strategies tailored to improving the interfacial and emulsion properties of proteins. To be summarized, a higher flexibility could allow protein to be more easily unfolded and adsorbed onto the interface but could also possibly form a softer interfacial film. Several physical strategies, such as thermal, ultrasound and especially high-pressure homogenization are well applied to improve the interfacial properties. The interfacial behavior is also altered by various green chemical strategies, such as pH adjustment, covalent modification, and low molecular weight (LMW) surfactant addition. These strategies upgraded emulsion properties by increasing adsorption load, accelerating diffusion and adsorption rate, associated with lowering interfacial tension, and promoting interfacial protein interactions. Future researches targeted at elucidating interfacial-bulk protein interactions, unraveling interfacial behavior through in silico tools, exploring connection between interfacial-industrial processing properties, and clarifying the interfacial-sensory-digestive relationships of O/W emulsions is needed to develop emulsion applications.
