Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the influence of different storage periods on the emulsifying properties of polysaccharide-protein complexes (pTPC) in Pu 'er tea through structural analysis and macroscopic characterization, and further explore the stability of pTPC-stabilized nano-emulsions in various environmental conditions. Through determination of chemical composition, interfacial tension, and infrared spectroscopy, it was found that compared to pTPC-13, the higher amino acid content of pTPC-18 led to enhanced hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between intramolecular polysaccharides and polyphenols, thereby increasing its adsorption rate and interfacial film thickness. Additionally, the stability of pTPC-18 stabilized nano-emulsions showed no significant changes in zeta potential and particle size over 0–90 days of storage, pH 2.0–9.0, 25–100 °C, Na+ and Ca2+, whereas pTPC-13 stabilized emulsions exhibited noticeable droplet aggregation and layering instability under the same stress conditions. Furthermore, for curcumin encapsulation, pTPC-18 nano-emulsions (60%) demonstrated stronger protection of curcumin compared to pTPC-13 nano-emulsions (39%). These results suggest that during long-term storage, the relative increase in protein and polyphenol content within pTPC-18 enhances its emulsifying properties, providing new insights into the development of lipid-active substance delivery systems.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
