Preparation of polysaccharide fraction from basil seed mucilage and its application as a stabilizer in the Pickering emulsion containing orange peel essential oil
IF 2.4 4区 生物学Q3 BIOTECHNOLOGY & APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY
This study was conducted to develop and characterize Pickering emulsions stabilized by basil seed mucilage powder (BSMP), incorporating orange peel essential oil at two concentrations (2% and 4%), with the aim of determining their physicochemical properties, stability, and antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens.
RESULTS
The recovery yield of BSMP from basil seeds was 8.55 g 100 g−1 and BSMP showed flake-like structure with thin layers, high crystallinity, and glass transition temperature of 192.8 °C. Meanwhile, orange peel essential oil contained 93.247% d-limonene and demonstrated bacteriostatic effects against different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria despite being incapable of destroying them. The resulting Pickering emulsions, particularly at 4% oil concentration, showed excellent stability over 3 weeks with maintained nano-sized particles (d10 of 138.87 nm) and highly negative zeta potential (−52.0 mV) while exhibiting enhanced antimicrobial efficacy against various pathogenic bacteria at lower concentrations compared to pure essential oils.
