Abstract
BACKGROUND
The properties and stability of emulsion rely greatly on the emulsification method and emulsifier. In this study, different emulsification methods (high-speed homogenization, ultrasonic treatment and their combination) were employed for the preparation of emulsions stabilized by soybean protein isolate (SPI) and soy lecithin (SLT) at three ratios. The microstructure, hydrodynamic average diameter, ζ-potential, creaming stability and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation behaviors of emulsions were investigated.
RESULTS
The results indicated that the influence of emulsification method was closely related to the ratio of SPI/SLT. Overall, the SPI-SLT-stabilized emulsion treated by ultrasound showed better stability and uniformity, while the combined treatment of high-speed homogenization and ultrasound was helpful in improving the uniformity and stability of SPI-stabilized Pickering emulsion. However, the SLT-stabilized emulsions all exhibited worse uniformity in terms of particle size distribution and polydispersity index.
CONCLUSION
These results will be helpful for selecting an appropriate emulsification method and emulsifier to improve the stability of emulsions. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
