The stability of high internal phase emulsion (HIPEs, oil phase ratios of 75 %) stabilized by modified PPI/CMCS complexes at a low addition amount (15 mg/mL) was investigated. The results revealed that hydrogen bonding, electrostatic forces, and hydrophobic interactions drove H-PPI/HU-PPI to assemble with CMCS, altering protein secondary structures to form more ordered configurations. The solubility, contact angle, and emulsifying properties of PPI were significantly improved as a result. Additionally, the interfacial tension was reduced, and the HU-PPI-CMCS300 was the lowest (<10 mN/m). Then, HIPEs were fabricated by PPI and PPI/CMCS complexes. The chemical and physical stability of HIPEs was enhanced by modifying PPI and was further increased by complexing with CMCS. The HIPEs prepared by complexes with a higher molecular weight of CMCS showed higher protein adsorption, closer droplet packing, and smaller oil droplets (HU-PPI-CMCS300 was <10 μm), which led to improved HIPEs stability. These results highlight the importance of molecular weight of CMCS on the functional properties of modified PPI/CMCS complexes.

FGF and FGF-S significantly increased the specific volume, lightness, and gas cell ratio, and significantly reduced hardness of FDSB. FGF-L, rich in microorganisms but lacking key metabolites, failed to significantly improve the quality of FDSB compared with the control group. FGF and FGF-S significantly increased elevated dough volume and gas hold ratio of dough after 14 days of frozen storage. Dynamic thermo-mechanical analysis showed that FGF-S significantly increased T<sub>onset</sub> and T<sub>peak</sub> of dough, indicating effective delay in starch gelatinization and gas cell rupture. According to the results of protein extractability in SDS and subunits distribution, FGF-S inhibited the release of gliadin from gluten protein and depolymerization of high molecular weight glutenin subunits to low molecular weight glutenin subunits during frozen storage. Meanwhile, FGF-S enhanced gluten polymerization and gas retention during the initial stage (<65 °C) of steaming while preventing formation of overly dense gluten network at the later stage (≥90 °C). Results of reverse-phase-HPLC at different temperatures confirmed that FGF-S inhibited thermally induced cross-linking between gliadin and glutenin subunits at temperatures exceeding 90 °C. Moreover, FGF-S delayed thermal transition and pasting of starch, reduced pasting viscosities, and facilitated diffusion and expansion of gas cells.

The hollow salt prepared by the nanoemulsion containing 2 % (w/v) SPI-EGCG complex and an oil-water ratio of 2:8 exhibited a uniform particle size distribution, with an average microsphere diameter of 7.57 ± 1.60 μm.

The findings from the sensory evaluation showed that when hollow salt and traditional sodium chloride (NaCl) were compared at an equal mass, there was no substantial disparity in terms of the perceived saltiness (P > 0.05). By analyzing the <em>in vitro</em> release of sodium and measuring sodium retention on a pig's tongue surface, sodium can be rapidly released from hollow salts with the extended retention on the tongue surface, providing an enhanced salty sensation even at low sodium concentrations. Furthermore, headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry analysis revealed that the flavor retention rate in hollow salt is highly dependent on the oil-water ratio formulations by spray drying.
