Abstract
The encapsulation of curcumin in the emulsions has attracted much attention in functional food development. Herein, the fish oil-loaded silver carp scale gelatin-stabilized emulsions with vitamins were explored for the delivery of curcumin. The curcumin encapsulation had no obvious effect on the formation, storage stability, lipid oxidation, and in vitro droplet digestion behaviors of the emulsions. Both vitamin C (VC) and vitamin E (VE) additions had obvious effects on the peroxidation values of the emulsions: VC + VE < VC < VE < Control < fish oil. The accumulative free fatty acid release percentages were dependent on the vitamins: VC (89.6 ± 1.1%) > Control (86.1 ± 1.0%) > VC + VE (80.5 ± 0.8%) > VE (76.4 ± 1.2%). The emulsions' curcumin retention at room temperature and in vitro digestion behaviors (transformation, bioaccessibility, and bioaccessibility index) depended on vitamin additions: VC + VE ≈ VC > VE ≈ Control. This work was beneficial for the development of fish gelatin-stabilized emulsions to deliver curcumin.
期刊介绍:
npj Science of Food is an online-only and open access journal publishes high-quality, high-impact papers related to food safety, security, integrated production, processing and packaging, the changes and interactions of food components, and the influence on health and wellness properties of food. The journal will support fundamental studies that advance the science of food beyond the classic focus on processing, thereby addressing basic inquiries around food from the public and industry. It will also support research that might result in innovation of technologies and products that are public-friendly while promoting the United Nations sustainable development goals.
