Effect of tannic acid on the heat-induced flocculation of gelatin/cellulose nanocrystal-based emulsions: mechanisms behind the formation of high internal phase emulsion gels
A heating-centrifugation strategy converted low-oil emulsions to HIPE gels by exploiting polyphenol-regulated, heat-induced flocculation. Compared to conventional methods, this approach yielded HIPE gels with enhanced structural integrity and tunable texture; however, the underlying mechanisms remained to be fully elucidated. A multidimensional characterization framework was applied to elucidate the mechanism of heat-induced flocculation in low-oil emulsions regulated by tannic acid (TA). The results showed that moderate TA concentrations (especially 0.6 %) significantly improved the storage stability of low-oil emulsions, while TA-led interfacial film rearrangement resulted in thicker and more elastic film layers (Kr from 5.3130 × 10−4 s−1 to 9.6704 × 10−4 s−1). Under heat treatment, TA elevated the flocculation index (FI) and markedly increased surface hydrophobicity (H0) and network-interfacial solid content (NISC), enhancing interfacial interactions and aggregation to convert low-oil emulsions into HIPE gels. Interfacial dilatational rheology analysis revealed that emulsions containing moderate TA exhibited the highest elastic modulus (12.66 ± 0.30 mN/m) after heat treatment, correlating with interfacial situ characterization and confocal scanning microscopy (CLSM) observations of a robust, multilayered interfacial network and superior droplet encapsulation. The intermolecular interaction test demonstrated a continuous, temperature-driven transition: heating favored hydrophobic interactions that initiated pre-flocculation, while cooling promoted a reorganization of TA-regulated hydrogen bonding, culminating in ordered gelation. These findings provide a mechanistic blueprint for exploiting polyphenol–biomolecule interactions to design functional emulsion gels with tailored thermal responsiveness.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
