Pickering emulsions stabilized by Chlorella pyrenoidosa protein–chitosan complex for lutein encapsulation

Abstract

Lutein has many physiological functions like antioxidation, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammation, which presents good potential in the development of functional food for eye protection. However, the hydrophobicity and harsh environment factors...

Incorporation of fucoxanthin into 3D printed Pickering emulsion gels stabilized by salmon by-product protein/pectin complexes

“…Additionally, the volume of water-phase precipitation caused by the SEGs served as an indicator for assessing their water-holding capacity, which directly correlates with centrifugal stability. 49 Specifically, SEG-0 demonstrated a water-holding capacity of only 54.06%, while SEG-4 exhibited a significantly higher capacity of 77.71%. Similarly, SEG-1 (63.80%), SEG-2 (65.83%), and SEG-3 (73.11%) all surpassed the water-holding capacity of SEG-0.…”

Protection effect of lutein-loaded Pickering emulsion prepared via ultrasound-assisted Maillard reaction conjugates on dry age-related macular degeneration

“…A previously reported in vitro digestion method was conducted with minor modifications. 33 The digestive fluid was prewarmed to 37 °C, and the Pickering emulsions were diluted with deionized water to ensure the same oil mass fraction. The samples (0.4 mL) were mixed with simulated saliva (7.1 mL), and the pH was adjusted to 6.8 for 10 min.…”

Microfluidic Strategies for Encapsulation, Protection, and Controlled Delivery of Probiotics

“…Emulsions, thermodynamically unstable systems, play a critical role across many sectors, especially within food and pharmaceutical delivery systems . In microfluidic technology, emulsions serve as a vital form for encapsulating probiotics, offering a stable and controllable microenvironment to preserve their activity and function.…”
