This project aimed to explore the influence of the interaction between ovotransferrin fibrils (OTF) and gum arabic (GA) on the formation mechanism, physicochemical properties, and curcumin delivery of the oleogel-in-water Pickering emulsion. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy results showed that OTF-GA complexes effectively adsorbed on the oil-water interface, generating spatial hindrance to inhibit droplet coalescence. The texture analysis also proved that OTF-GA complexes endowed oleogel-in-water Pickering emulsion with preferable springiness (0.49 ± 0.03 mm), chewiness (0.43 ± 0.07 mJ), and adhesion (0.31 ± 0.01 mJ). By exploring the coalescence stability, droplet size, and rheological properties of OTF-GA complexes-stabilized oleogel-in-water Pickering emulsion (OGPE), the higher coagulation stability, larger average droplet size (46.22 ± 0.08 μm), and stronger gel strength were observed. The microrheological results also exhibited stronger attraction between the OGPE droplets, a more pronounced solid-like structure, and a slower speed of movement than OTF-stabilized oleogel-in-water Pickering emulsion (OPE). Meanwhile, OGPE significantly enhanced the extent of lipolysis, stability, and bioaccessibility of curcumin, suggesting that it possessed superior performance as a delivery system for bioactive substances. This project provided adequate theoretical references for protein-polysaccharide complexes-stabilized oleogel-in-water Pickering emulsion, and contributed to expanding the application of oleogel-in-water Pickering emulsion in the food industry.
本项目旨在探究卵转铁蛋白纤维(OTF)与阿拉伯胶(GA)之间的相互作用对水包油型皮克林乳液的形成机制、理化性质及姜黄素递送的影响。低温扫描电子显微镜结果表明,OTF-GA复合物有效地吸附在油水界面上,产生空间位阻以抑制液滴聚并。质构分析也证明,OTF-GA复合物赋予水包油型皮克林乳液较好的弹性(0.49±0.03毫米)、咀嚼性(0.43±0.07毫焦)和粘附性(0.31±0.01毫焦)。通过探究OTF-GA复合物稳定的水包油型皮克林乳液(OGPE)的聚并稳定性、液滴尺寸和流变性质,观察到其具有更高的凝聚稳定性、更大的平均液滴尺寸(46.22±0.08微米)和更强的凝胶强度。微观流变学结果还表明,与OTF稳定的水包油型皮克林乳液(OPE)相比,OGPE液滴之间的吸引力更强,具有更明显的类固体结构,且运动速度更慢。同时,OGPE显著提高了姜黄素的脂解程度、稳定性和生物可及性,表明其作为生物活性物质递送系统具有优异性能。本项目为蛋白质-多糖复合物稳定的水包油型皮克林乳液提供了充分的理论参考,并有助于扩大水包油型皮克林乳液在食品工业中的应用。
