“…For instance, pectin is a natural biopolymer mainly present in fruits and vegetables that has shown certain adsorption capacity at oil-water interfaces and may enhance the stability of emulsions (Alba & Kontogiorgos, 2017;Chan, Choo, Young, & Loh, 2017;Ozturk & McClements, 2016). The lipid fraction also plays an important role in the physicochemical properties, which depend on the characteristics of the different EOs including their chemical composition and the hydrocarbon chain length (Hopkins, Chang, Lam, & Nickerson, 2015). In fact, it is reported that short chain fatty acids, such as EOs, are prone to destabilization phenomena due to Oswald ripening effect since they consist on an aromatic carbon ring, which makes them slightly water-soluble oils (Suriyarak & Weiss, 2014).…”
