“…These micelles are important for the solubility of hydrolysis products. Several experimental studies on model O/W emulsions in the presence of different surfactants have shown that depletion flocculation of the emulsion can be induced by non-adsorbed surfactant micelles that are excluded from the interstitial space (Aronson, 1991;Bibette, 1991;Dickinson & Ritzoulis, 2000;Dimitrova & Leal-Calderón, 1999;McClements, 1994;Radford & Dickinson, 2004;Shields, Ellis, & Saunders, 2001;Wulff-Pérez, TorcelloGómez, Gálvez-Ruiz, & Martín-Rodríguez, 2009). For instance, certain dietary fiber is found to promote droplet flocculation through a depletion mechanism (Beysseriat, Decker, & McClements, 2006), and this may restrict the access of digestive enzymes to the lipids, and in turn depress lipid digestion.…”
