Stabilization of emulsions prepared by ball milling and cellulase treated pomelo peel insoluble dietary fiber: Integrity of porous fiber structure dominates the stability. Food Chem 2024; 440:138189. [PMID: 38100965 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Emulsion gels from the pomelo peel insoluble dietary fiber (PIDF) were developed. The emulsification potentials of PIDFs subjected to various degrees of ball milling (M-PIDFs), cellulase hydrolysis (C-PIDF), and cellulase hydrolysis followed by ball milling (CM-PIDFs) were evaluated. Emulsions prepared by M-PIDFs for different lengths of ball milling time exhibited similar stability characteristics, confirming that M-PIDF emulsion stability might be determined by the three-dimensional structure formed by M-PIDF stacking and oil droplet capture. C-PIDF had characteristics resembling those of Pickering particles. CM-PIDF emulsions got destabilized with ball milling time prolongation. Interface tension and particle size of C/CM-PIDF decreased gradually during ball milling. Rheological and fluorescence microscopy results revealed that the intact internal crosslinking structure frameworks were disrupted in CM-PIDF emulsions. Therefore, intact fiber-based networks, rather than small particle size or low interfacial tension, determine the stability of PIDF emulsions. This study deepens the understanding of PIDF as a clean emulsifier.

Characterization of levans produced by levansucrases from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Gluconobacter oxydans: Structural, techno-functional, and anti-inflammatory properties. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 323:121332.

Abstract
Levans of different structures and molecular weights (MW) can display various techno-functional and health-promoting properties. In the present study, selected levans were produced by the transfructosylation of sucrose catalyzed by levansucrases from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Gluconobacter oxydans, and their structural, techno-functional and anti-inflammatory properties were investigated. NMR and methylation/GC analysis confirmed the structure of β-(2, 6) levans. The structural characterization led to the classification of levans as high MW (HMW, ≥100 kDa), low MW (LMW, ≤20 kDa) and mix L/HMW ones. Levan with higher MW had more linear fructosyl units with fewer reducing ends and branching residues. LMW levan showed the highest foaming capacity and stability while HMW levan had the highest emulsion stability. HMW and mix L/HMW levans showed comparable water and oil-holding capacities, which were higher than LMW. HMW and mix L/HMW levans were found to have gelling properties at low concentrations. The rheological behaviour of HMW levan-based gel was a more viscous-like gel, while that of mix L/HMW levan-based one showed more elastic solid like-gel. The temperature also influenced the rheology of levan, showing that the mix L/HMW levan gel network was the most thermal stable as its viscoelasticity remained constant at the highest temperature (75 °C). Studies on the biological activity of levans of HMW and LMW revealed in-vitro anti-inflammatory properties as they significantly reduced the production of LPS-triggered pro-inflammatory cytokines in differentiated Caco-2 cells.

Abstract
A food-grade emulsion gel was stabilized using waxy maize starch (WS) incorporated (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) at different ratio (from 5 % to 20 %, w/w). The microstructure, rheological behavior, physical stability and antioxidant activity of emulsion gels were investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM), and rheometer, etc. The results suggested that incorporated EGCG obviously affected the spatial configuration of WS hydrogel. The WS/EGCG hydrogels presented an excellent lipophilic capacity characterized by tightly adhering to linseed oil droplets in the emulsion gels. Moreover, the viscosity, viscoelasticity and physical stability of the emulsion gels stabilized by the WS/EGCG hydrogel matrices were significantly enhanced. The emulsion gel stabilized by the WS/EGCG hydrogel matrix (15 % EGCG) had long-term emulsifying stability because its emulsified phase volume fraction (77.14 %) remained stable for 30 days. Compared with typical natural and synthetic antioxidants in food and pharmaceutical processing, the emulsion gels stabilized by the WS/EGCG hydrogel matrices showed significant stronger DPPH (97.45 %) and ABTS•+ (97.97 %) free radical scavenging activity. These results demonstrate that WS/EGCG hydrogels can not only be used in food-grade matrix materials to stabilize emulsion gels but also improve the antioxidant activity of the emulsion gels.

Abstract
Although Artemisia sphaerocephala krasch gum (ASKG) has attracted growing attention in the field of medical engineering and food industries, however, there are few studies on the gelation of ASKG. In this paper, acrylic acid modified ASKG hydrogels were prepared by radiation induced grafting, cross-linking and polymerization technique for the first time. The semi-IPN structure was prepared by the cross-linked ASKG network and poly-AAc dispersed within the network. The effects of the adsorbed dose on the swelling ratio and gel fraction were investigated. The different acrylic acid content modified ASKG hydrogels (ASKGAAc1 and ASKGAAc2) for methyl blue (MB) adsorption were investigated, and the ASKG hydrogels was also studied for comparison. The influence of pH, contact time, initial concentration, temperature, ion strength on MB adsorption were tested. The results showed that acrylic acid can promote the formation of hydrogel and greatly enhanced the adsorption of ASKG. The adsorption isotherms were well obeyed the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacity for MB of ASKG, ASKGAAc1 and ASKGAAc2 were 571.43, 1517.8 and 1654.9 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the MB adsorption by ASKG based hydrogels was exothermic, spontaneous, and more favorable at lower temperature. Furthermore, the adsorption-desorption experiments demonstrated a good reusability of these hydrogels.

Abstract
Emulsion gel is a semi-solid or solid material with a three-dimensional net structure produced from emulsion through physical, enzymatic, chemical methods or their combination. Emulsion gels are widely used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as carriers of bioactive substances and fat substitutes due to their unique properties. The modification of raw materials, and the application of different processing methods and associated process parameters profoundly affect the ease or difficult of gel formation, microstructure, hardness of the resulting emulsion gels. This paper reviews the important research undertaken in the last decade focusing on classification of emulsion gels, their preparation methods, the influence of processing method and associated process parameters on structure-function of emulsion gels. It also highlights current status of emulsion gels in food, pharmaceutical and medical industries and provides future outlook on research directions requiring to provide theoretical support for innovative applications of emulsion gels, particularly in food industry.

Abstract
In this study, pentacyclic triterpene-loaded emulsions were stabilized by polysaccharides from Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom (PAb). The drug-excipient compatibility results by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed the absence of physicochemical incompatibilities. The use of these biopolymers at 0.75 % led to obtaining emulsions with droplets smaller than 300 nm, moderate polydispersity, and ζ-potential >30 mV in modulus. The emulsions presented high encapsulation efficiency, suitable pH for topical application, and absence of macroscopic signs of instability during 45 days. Morphological analysis suggested the deposition of thin layers of PAb around the droplets. The encapsulation of pentacyclic triterpene in emulsions, stabilized by PAb, improved the cytocompatibility of this drug against PC12 and murine astrocyte cells. There was a reduction in cytotoxicity, which resulted in a lower accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species and maintenance of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Based on these results, it is estimated that PAb are promising biopolymers for the emulsions' stabilization by improving their physicochemical and biological properties.
