This study investigated the physicochemical properties and thermal stability of a water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsion stabilized by a binary gum comprising xanthan gum (XG) and locust bean gum (LBG) using different oils. Canola and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil served as the oil phase, while the internal aqueous phase contained the binary gum XG/LBG (0 %, 0.1 %, and 0.5 %, w/w). Results showed that XG/LBG substantially reduced the particle size. This reduction indicates improved emulsion stability during storage and an increase in apparent viscosity. The addition of XG/LBG effectively preserved the double emulsion structure, preventing coalescence and flocculation. The freeze-thaw test demonstrated that the double emulsions based on canola oil exhibited superior stability under extreme conditions, with XG/LBG further enhancing thermal stability. These results highlight the potential of XG/LBG to enhance the stability of double emulsions, making it a valuable ingredient for developing stable emulsion systems in food products.

In recent years, amino acids have garnered extensive attention as environmentally friendly, small-dose additives for modulating hydrate formation and aggregation behavior. Amino acids, due to their amphiphilic nature, can adsorb at the gas-liquid interface and on hydrate crystal surfaces, thereby modifying interfacial properties and influencing crystal growth patterns. In our measurements, the amino acids displayed a concentration-dependent "double effect".

Lutein and omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), offer significant health benefits, especially when consumed together. However, their incorporation in food is often low due to their instability during processing and storage. Meat products play an essential role in human nutrition and are generally deficient in lutein and omega-3 fatty acids.

We present a microfluidic strategy for fabricating high-concentration alginate microgels through a combination of shell-mediated gelation and osmotic shrinkage. Using a water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion platform, we introduce a thermally responsive oil shell that undergoes a phase transition upon cooling. This phase change allows spatial control over calcium ion diffusion into the alginate core by forming transient diffusion channels, resulting in localized and uniform ionic crosslinking.

Although intelligent superwettability materials with tunable wettability have been extensively studied in oil-water separation, they still exhibit several limitations including singular dimension of response, nondurable surface modification, and inadequate on-demand separation capabilities. Herein, we propose an ingenious strategy that combines pH-responsive polymer and shape memory material to achieve intelligent dual-regulation of surface wettability and pore size. A porous double-regulated foam (DRF) is obtained by uniformly mixing epoxy resin with PMMA--PDEAEMA solution and one-piece curing it through salt template method.

This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory properties of mayonnaise formulated as a double emulsion (DE) with vegetable extracts and compared them with those of conventional oil-in-water (O/W) mayonnaise. A W/O:W ratio of 8:2 showed the highest stability, whereas a W:O ratio of 5:5 was selected as a balanced formulation with acceptable stability and reduced oil content. The polyglycerol polyricinoleate concentration was optimized at 2%, and the incorporation of vegetable extracts improved the stability of the DE mayonnaise, with SLC253 achieving the highest stability.
