Article Abstract
In this study, the enhancement of Pickering effect of ovalbumin (OVA) with bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNFs) prepared by electron beam irradiation was investigated and the environmental stability of oil-in-water Pickering emulsions stabilized by OVA/BCNFs complexes was explored by varying ratios of OVA/BCNFS (1:0.2, 1:0.4, 1:0.6, 1:0.8, 1:1) and oil phase concentrations (10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 %). Droplet sizes of Pickering emulsions were decreased with the increase of the proportion of BCNFs, while the viscosity and storage modulus (G') of Pickering emulsions were increased. The gel strength of Pickering emulsions was positively correlated with the oil phase content. Pickering emulsions stabilized by OVA/BCNFs complexes were endowed excellent environmental stability under varying pH, ionic strength, and thermal conditions. Moreover, after encapsulating curcumin in Pickering emulsions, the retention rates of curcumin were improved significantly during room temperature, UV light, and thermal treatment. The present study would contribute to the advancement of novel protein/polysaccharide stabilizers and offer novel insight for investigating the stability of Pickering emulsions and delivering lipophilic bioactive compounds.

In this study, we explored the application of lactoferrin-(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (LF-EGCG) complex with rapeseed, soybean, walnut, peanut and sesame oil for the preparation of Pickering emulsions and its spray-dried microcapsules. Spectroscopy and molecular docking revealed that LF-EGCG binds via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. Structural analysis demonstrated that 0.

Pickering emulsions (PEs), where water-in-oil (w/o) droplets are stabilized by nanoparticles (NPs), offer a promising platform for biocatalysis by providing a large interfacial area crucial for efficient substrate conversion. While several lipase catalyzed reactions in PEs have been demonstrated, the exact interfacial structure is unknown. This study focuses on the interfacial network formed by NPs and lipase (CRL) at the octanol/water-interface by varying pH and NP charge.

Cultivating fat for edible tissue presents significant challenges, due to the high costs associated with growth and differentiation factors, alongside the poor viability of adipocytes resulting from cell clustering. Additionally, there is a gap in research regarding the rapid accumulation of fats within cells. To that end, this study presents the development of a biodegradable soy protein colloidosome system for an efficient application: direct delivery of oils into bovine satellite cells, enabling rapid intracellular fat accumulation without the need for adipogenic differentiation.

Fresh walnuts are prone to moisture loss and spoilage after harvest, leading to reduced appearance and sensory quality. In this study, a multifunctional chitosan (CS)-based film was fabricated by incorporating a bacterial cellulose/oregano essential oil (BC/OEO) Pickering emulsion, with hydrogen bonding promoting cohesive matrix integration. The film's physicochemical properties, along with its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, were systematically evaluated.

Environmentally friendly food packaging has emerged as a viable strategy to replace traditional plastic films. In this study, eugenol Pickering emulsion was constructed with konjac glucomannan (KGM) and tragacanth gum (GT) as stabilizers, and was introduced into the KGM/chitosan (CS) composite film by electrostatic action to develop a new type of active packaging film. Interfacial characterization revealed optimal emulsion stability at a 1:5 KGM-to-GT mass ratio.
