Abstract
This review presents recent advances in the combined use of protein and polysaccharide for synergistic stabilization of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). Four types of protein-polysaccharide systems that can be used as stabilizes for HIPEs are discussed, including non-covalent complexes, covalent conjugates, core-shell nanoparticles, and ternary complexes. These binary/ternary systems exhibit favorable performance in the construction of stable HIPEs, protection and controlled delivery of bioactive compounds. We discuss various material sources, formation mechanism, and physicochemical characteristic of each system. The challenges associated with the appropriate selection of wall materials, interaction with digestive systems, and in vivo biological fate of HIPEs are also highlighted. This review could help comprehensively understand the synergistic efficiencies of protein and polysaccharide on HIPEs for the functional food applications.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
