Abstract
Interdroplet interactions affect the properties and textures of emulsions. In this study, we creatively introduced telechelic DNA to link the oil droplets directly at molecular scale to further improve viscoelastic properties of emulsions. A stable emulsion with 70% oil fraction was prepared by 40 mg/mL of whey protein isolate and peach gum polysaccharide complex (WPI-PGP complex). The addition of telechelic DNA (0.125 to 0.375 μM) made emulsion state from cream-like to self-supporting gel. Rheological experiments confirmed that the telechelic DNA could improve the yield stress, storage modulus/loss modulus (G’/G”) and apparent viscosity of emulsion gel in a concentration-dependent manner (0 to 0.375 μM). Inverted fluorescence images manifestly showed the interdroplet network of emulsion gel linked by telechelic DNA. For 3D printing, the emulsion gel with a higher concentration (0.375 μM) of telechelic DNA displayed a better surface quality and dimensional resolution, indicating an improved printability. Therefore, this study successfully designed a novel telechelic DNA-bridged emulsion gel, which showed great potential as edible inks for 3D printing.
期刊介绍:
Food quality and safety are the main targets of investigation in food production. Therefore, reliable paths to detect, identify, quantify, characterize and monitor quality and safety issues occurring in food are of great interest.
Food Quality and Safety is an open access, international, peer-reviewed journal providing a platform to highlight emerging and innovative science and technology in the agro-food field, publishing up-to-date research in the areas of food quality and safety, food nutrition and human health. It promotes food and health equity which will consequently promote public health and combat diseases.
The journal is an effective channel of communication between food scientists, nutritionists, public health professionals, food producers, food marketers, policy makers, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and others concerned with the food safety, nutrition and public health dimensions.
The journal accepts original research articles, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, and book reviews articles.
