Emulsifying properties of Acacia senegal gum: Impact of high molar mass protein-rich AGPs

Co-encapsulation of chlorogenic acid and cinnamaldehyde essential oil in Pickering emulsion stablized by chitosan nanoparticles

“…The stability of emulsions was assessed by calculating the creaming index of Pickering emulsion at first day and 5th days according to the method of Aphibanthammakit et al ( Aphibanthammakit, Barbar, Nigen, Sanchez, & Chalier, 2020 ). The clear liquid layer height (H C ) and total emulsion height (H T ) were measured once a day.…”

Chemical characteristics, physical and functional properties of some β-bonded polysaccharides: A review

“…Occurrence of plenty of hydroxyl groups in their molecular structure confers them the natural ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, resulting in high viscosity of their aqueous solutions. According to Aphibanthammakit et al [8] , the charged portion of the carbohydrate moiety of plant gums also contributes to viscosity because the dipolar water molecules participate in strong electro static interaction, leading to the formation of hydration shells. It is hypothesized that the strong water binding effects coming from their hydrophilic carbohydrate moiety of gums can prevent organoleptic defects in products like ice cream [45] .…”

Ovotransferrin Fibril—Gum Arabic Complexes as Stabilizers for Oleogel-in-Water Pickering Emulsions: Formation Mechanism, Physicochemical Properties, and Curcumin Delivery

“…Among numerous polysaccharides, gum arabic (GA) is widely used in food industries as an adhesive, emulsifier, and thickener due to its superior water dispersibility and low viscosity [12]. GA can form complexes with proteins through electrostatic interactions, in which hydrophobic peptide chains are adsorbed at the oil-water interface, while hydrophilic carbohydrate fragments extend to the continuous phase, forming an uninterrupted interface layer [13]. This multi-layer structure of protein-polysaccharide helps to improve the stability of emulsion systems under harsh conditions, thereby achieving the efficient delivery of bioactive compounds [14].…”
