Abstract
To improve the freeze-thaw stability of the emulsion, a Pickering emulsion stabilized by grafted protein was prepared and characterized through blending with hyaluronic acid (HA) and trehalose (TH). The results indicated that HA crosslinked with proteins to form a surface coating on the droplets. TH prevented aggregation by imparting spatial repulsion, when combined with HA, resulted in a significant reduction in emulsion particle size from 35.95 μm to 22.99 μm. The emulsion showed well stability against droplet flocculation after freeze-thaw cycles. Microstructural observation revealed that the cross-linking of HA and TH inhibited the ice crystal damage. In-vitro digestive characterization indicated that HA and TH prevented digestive enzymes from destroying the droplet structure, realising efficient delivery of curcumin. Among them, the bioaccessibility and stability of curcumin were improved by 8.19 % and 15.25 %. Moreover, 1HNMR analysis demonstrated that the stabilization of HA and TH at the oil-water interface improved the antioxidant properties of the emulsion.
期刊介绍:
Food Structure is the premier international forum devoted to the publication of high-quality original research on food structure. The focus of this journal is on food structure in the context of its relationship with molecular composition, processing and macroscopic properties (e.g., shelf stability, sensory properties, etc.). Manuscripts that only report qualitative findings and micrographs and that lack sound hypothesis-driven, quantitative structure-function research are not accepted. Significance of the research findings for the food science community and/or industry must also be highlighted.
