Abstract
To decrease the lipid content in water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, high internal phase Pickering W/O emulsions (HIPPE) were fabricated using magnetic stirring using a combination of monoglyceride (MAG) oleogel and polyglycerol polyacrylate oleate (PGPR) as stabilizers. Effects of MAGs (glyceryl monostearate-GMS, glycerol monolaurate-GML and glycerol monocaprylate-GMC) and internal phase components on the formation and properties of HIPPEs were investigated. The results showed that milky-white stabilized W/O HIPPE with up to 85 wt% aqueous phase content was successfully prepared, and the droplet interfaces presented a network of MAG crystals, independent of the MAG type. All HIPPEs exhibited great stability under freeze-thaw cycles but were less plastic. Meanwhile, GML-oleogel-based HIPPEs had larger particle size and were less thermal stable than GMS and GMC-based HIPPEs. Compared to guar gum, the internal phase components of sodium chloride and sucrose were more effective in reducing the particle size of HIPPEs, improving their stability and plasticity, and stabilizing them during 100-day storage. HIPPEs presented great spreadability, ductility and plasticity after whipping treatment. This knowledge provides a new perspective on the use of oleogels as co-stabilizers for the formation of W/O HIPPEs, which can be used as a potential substitute for creams.

Abstract
Phenolic acids are natural compounds with potential therapeutic effects against various diseases. However, their incorporation into food and pharmaceutical products is limited by challenges such as instability, low solubility, and reduced bioavailability. This systematic review summarizes recent advances in phenolic acid encapsulation using food-grade carrier systems, focusing on proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides. Encapsulation efficiency, release behavior, and bioavailability are examined, as well as the potential health benefits of encapsulated phenolic acids in food products. Strategies to address limitations of current encapsulation systems are also proposed. Encapsulation has emerged as a promising method to enhance the stability and bioavailability of phenolic acids in food products, and various encapsulation technologies have been developed for this purpose. The use of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates as carriers in food-grade encapsulation systems remains a common approach, but it is associated with certain limitations. Future research on phenolic acid encapsulation should focus on developing environmentally friendly, organic solvent-free, low-energy, scalable, and stable encapsulation systems, as well as co-encapsulation methods that combine multiple phenolic acids or phenolic acids with other bioactive substances to produce synergistic effects.

Abstract
This study aims to formulate a stable high internal phase double emulsion (HIPDE) using soybean protein isolate (SPI), gallic acid (GA), and xanthan gum (XG). To prepare HIPDE, W1/O was formulated with the water phase dispersed in the oil phase using polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) as a stabilizer. Thereafter, W1/O dispersed in W2 (SPI solution) was used. To stabilize the HIPDE, GA was added in W1 (0 or 1 %), XG was added in W2 (0 or 1 %), and the pH of the W phases was adjusted to acidic, neutral, and basic. The samples containing GA in W1 and XG in W2 did not phase out during the storage periods and maintained a higher ζ-potential value, a higher apparent viscosity, and a more sustainable droplet compared to others. These results were derived by the interaction between SPI and XG, SPI and GA, or GA and PGPR. Physicochemical crosslinks were formed, such as gallate-derived groups, SPI-GA complexation (Michael addition, Shiff base reaction), and hydrogen bonding. In conclusion, applying the SPI, GA, and XG to HIPDE would contribute to various industries such as food, medicine, and cosmetics.

Abstract
Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) is a synthetic food additive containing a complex mixture of various esters. In recent years, there has been a growing trend to use PGPR-stabilized water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions to replace fat in order to produce low-calorie food products. In this respect, it is essential to comprehensively characterize the PGPR molecular species composition, which might enable to reduce its required amount in emulsions and foods based on a better understanding of the structure-activity relationship. This review presents the recent research progress on the characterization and quantitative analysis of PGPR. The influencing factors of the emulsifying ability of PGPR in W/O emulsions are further illustrated to provide new insights on the total or partial replacement of PGPR. Moreover, the latest progress on applications of PGPR in food products is described. Current studies have revealed the complex structure of PGPR. Besides, recent research has focused on the quantitative determination of the composition of PGPR and the quantification of the PGPR concentration in foods. However, research on the quantitative determination of the (poly)glycerol composition of PGPR and of the individual molecular species present in PGPR is still limited. Some natural water- or oil-soluble surfactants (e.g., proteins or lecithin) have been proven to enable the partial replacement of PGPR in W/O emulsions. Additionally, water-dispersible phytosterol particles and lecithin have been successfully used as a substitute of PGPR to create stable W/O emulsions.

Abstract
The rising consumer demand for safer, healthier, and fresher-like food has led to the emergence of new concepts in food packaging. In addition, the growing concern about environmental issues has increased the search for materials derived from non-petroleum sources and biodegradable options. Thus, active films based on biopolymers loaded with natural active compounds have great potential to be used as food packaging. However, several lipophilic active compounds are difficult to incorporate into aqueous film-forming solutions based on polysaccharides or proteins, and the hydrophilic active compounds require protection against oxidation. One way to incorporate these active compounds into film matrices is to encapsulate them in emulsions, such as microemulsions, nanoemulsions, Pickering emulsions, or double emulsions. However, emulsion characteristics can influence the properties of active films, such as mechanical, barrier, and optical properties. This review addresses the advantages of using emulsions to encapsulate active compounds before their incorporation into biopolymeric matrices, the main characteristics of these emulsions (emulsion type, droplet size, and emulsifier nature), and their influence on active film properties. Furthermore, we review the recent applications of the emulsion-charged active films in food systems.

Abstract
The water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion with a medium aqueous phase may be limited in food and cosmetics due to its poor stability and high cost. Herein, this work proposed a facile strategy to improve the W/O emulsion stability by introducing gelatin. The influence of different gelatin concentrations (0, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 4.0%) on the stability and properties of W/O emulsions was mainly investigated. Results showed that the obtained emulsions still belonged to W/O emulsions after adding gelatin to the aqueous phase. As the gelatin concentration increased (0~4.0%), the interfacial tension decreased, which is conducive to promoting the interface adsorption of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR). Furthermore, introducing gelatin also improved the water-holding capacity (WHC) (33.50~6.32%) and viscosity of W/O emulsions and reduced the droplet size (37.47~8.75 μm) of emulsions. The enhanced interfacial adsorption and aqueous gelation induced by gelatin addition promoted the formation of a tight overall emulsion network structure by the interaction between the interfacial adsorbed PGPR, as well as PGPR and gelatin in the aqueous phase. The enhancement of the overall network effectively improved the storage stability (35 d), thermal stability (20 min, 80 °C), and freeze-thaw stability (10 cycles) of emulsions, especially at 4.0% gelatin concentration. Hence, this study can provide guidance for the improvement and regulation of the stabilities of W/O emulsions.

Determination of the Dominating Coalescence Pathways in Double Emulsion Formulations by Use of Microfluidic Emulsions. Processes (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
In water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) double emulsions several irreversible instability phenomena lead to changes. Besides diffusive processes, coalescence of droplets is the main cause of structural changes. In double emulsions, inner droplets can coalesce with each other (W1–W1 coalescence), inner droplets can be released via coalescence (W1–W2 coalescence) and oil droplets can coalesce with each other (O–O coalescence). Which of the coalescence pathways contributes most to the failure of the double emulsion structure cannot be determined by common measurement techniques. With monodisperse double emulsions produced with microfluidic techniques, each coalescence path can be observed and quantified simultaneously. By comparing the occurrence of all possible coalescence events, different hydrophilic surfactants in combination with PGPR are evaluated and discussed with regard to their applicability in double emulsion formulations. When variating the hydrophilic surfactant, the stability against all three coalescence mechanisms changes. This shows that measuring only one of the coalescence mechanisms is not sufficient to describe the stability of a double emulsion. While some surfactants are able to stabilize against all three possible coalescence mechanisms, some display mainly one of the coalescence mechanisms or in some cases all three mechanisms are observed simultaneously.

Fabrication of High-Acyl Gellan-Gum-Stabilized β-Carotene Emulsion: Physicochemical Properties and In Vitro Digestion Simulation. Foods 2022; 11:foods11121742.

Abstract
The β-carotene emulsion system using high-acyl gellan gum (HA) as an emulsifier was fabricated and systematically studied. The stability and stabilizing mechanism of the emulsion using medium-chain triglyceride as oil phase with a water-oil mass ratio of 9:1 under different physicochemical conditions of heat, pH, and ions were investigated by analyzing mean particle size (MPS), emulsion yield (EY), and dynamic stability. The effects of the HA-β-carotene emulsion system on the bioaccessibility of β-carotene in vitro were conducted. During the simulated oral digestion stage (SODP) and simulated gastric digestion stage (SGDP), the emulsion systems stabilized with different HA contents showed good stability, and the changes of MPS and zeta potential (ZP) were within 2.5 μm and 3.0 mV, respectively. After entering the simulated intestinal digestion phase (SIDP), β-carotene was released from oil droplets and formed micelles with bile salts, phospholipids, etc. HA-β-carotene emulsion can enhance the release rate of free fatty acid (FFA), which ultimately affects the β-carotene bioaccessibility. These results indicate that HA can be used to prepare carotene emulsion and improve its bioavailability. The study provides a reference for the application of HA as a natural emulsifier and the delivery of β-carotene.

Whey Beverage Emulsified System as Carrying Matrix of Fennel Seed Extract Obtained by Supercritical CO2 Extraction: Impact of Thermosonication Processing and Addition of Prebiotic Fibers.

Abstract
Whey beverages that were enriched with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and xylooligosaccharides (XOS) were used for carrying Foeniculum vulgare extract that was obtained by the supercritical CO2 extraction technique to produce novel functional products. Fennel-based whey beverages were subjected to thermosonication processing (100, 200, and 300 W at 60 °C for 15 min) to verify the performance of the dairy colloidal system for protecting the bioactive fennel compounds. The impacts of thermosonication processing on the quality attributes of the functional whey beverages were examined according to their droplet size distribution, microstructure, kinetic stability, color parameters, browning index, total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant capacity by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2-Azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulphonic acid) assays. The enrichment of the whey beverages with FOS and XOS did not affect their kinetic stability. However, the addition of prebiotic dietary fibers contributed to reducing the mean droplet size due to the formation of whey protein–FOS/XOS conjugates. The thermosonication treatments did not promote color changes that were discernible to the human eye. On the other hand, the thermosonication processing reduced the kinetic stability of the beverages. Overall, the colloidal dairy systems preserved the antioxidant capacity of the fennel seed extract, regardless of thermosonication treatment intensity. The whey beverages enriched with FOS and XOS proved to be effective carrying matrices for protecting the lipophilic bioactive fennel compounds.
