Application of Nanocellulose as particle stabilizer in food Pickering emulsion: Scope, Merits and challenges

Application of Advanced Emulsion Technology in the Food Industry: A Review and Critical Evaluation

“…Cellulose is another commonly used polysaccharide to prepare Pickering emulsions. In particular, cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibrils have received considerable interest due to their amphiphilic nature, high aspect ratio, large elastic modulus, and ease of modification [114,133]. In addition, chitin nanocrystals [134][135][136], chitin nanofibers [137], and chitosan-tripolyphosphate (TPP) nanoparticles [138] have also been shown to act as Pickering particles.…”

Nanocellulose Length Determines the Differential Cytotoxic Effects and Inflammatory Responses in Macrophages and Hepatocytes

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] In light of its various and outstanding advantages including high mechanical strength, stiffness, low weight, high specific surface area, recyclability, bioavailability, biocompatibility, surface tunable chemistry, and rheological properties, nanocellulose has been increasingly considered for applications in papermaking, coatings, food, nanocomposite formulations and reinforcement, as well as in the innovative biomedical fields, including used as drug delivery carriers, 3D culture, antimicrobial materials, and tissue repair and regeneration areas. [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The nanocellulose production has a high economic impact and the global nanocellulose market will be projected to grow to approximately $730 million by 2023. [11] This stresses the importance of understanding the toxicity of nanocellulose to generate knowledge that will contribute to predict the health effects from exposure, reduce the risk to humans, or design safer nanocellulose materials for biomedical applications.Although nanocellulose is generally regarded as safe based on its biocompatibility as well as biodegradability and the great majority of studies have pointed to the absence of significant cytotoxic effects by a vast diversity of CNC samples from different origins and with diverse properties in many mammalian cell lines, recent studies have been reported that nanocellulose displayed the adverse effects in vitro and in vivo.…”

Novel Fabrication of Zein-Soluble Soybean Polysaccharide Nanocomposites Induced by Multifrequency Ultrasound, and Their Roles on Microstructure, Rheological Properties and Stability of Pickering Emulsions

“…Thus, the DFU (40/60 kHz) model was selected for subsequent experimental studies. The size of the colloidal particles affects the stability of the suspension and the emulsion formed by the colloidal particles [30]. As shown in Figure 2, the particle size of zein colloidal particles was less than 300 nm.…”

“…However, once zein was combined with soluble soybean polysaccharide, the particle size increased sharply (most of the particles about 200 nm in size, and the largest particle was about 400 nm), indicating that zein interact with soluble soybean polysaccharide to form a complex with larger particle size in the form of a covalent bond or non-covalent bond. The size of the colloidal particles affects the stability of the suspension and the emulsion formed by the colloidal particles [30]. As shown in Figure 2, the particle size of zein colloidal particles was less than 300 nm.…”
