Hu Y, Wang L, Julian McClements D. Design, characterization and digestibility of β-carotene-loaded emulsion system stabilized by whey protein with chitosan and potato starch addition. Food Chem 2024; 440:138131.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties and gastrointestinal fate of β-carotene-loaded emulsions and emulsion gels were examined. The emulsion was emulsified by whey protein isolate and incorporated with chitosan, then the emulsion gels were produced by gelatinizing potato starch in the aqueous phase. The rheology properties, water distribution, and microstructure of emulsions and emulsion gels were modulated by chitosan combination. A standardized INFOGEST method was employed to track the gastrointestinal fate of emulsion systems. Significant changes in droplet size, zeta-potential, and aggregation state were detected during in vitro digestion, including simulated oral, stomach, and small intestine phases. The presence of chitosan led to a significantly reduced free fatty acids release in emulsion, whereas a slightly increasing released amount in the emulsion gel. β-carotene bioaccessibility was significantly improved by hydrogel formation and chitosan addition. These results could be used to formulate advanced emulsion systems to improve the gastrointestinal fate of hydrophobic nutraceuticals.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131206.

Abstract
In this study, cinnamic acid modified acid-ethanol hydrolyzed starch (CAES) with different degrees of substitution (DS) was fabricated to stabilize Pickering emulsions and probed their application for encapsulating curcumin (Cur). Successful preparation of CAES (with DS from 0.016 to 0.191) was confirmed by 1H NMR and FT-IR, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TGA. The biosafety evaluations and surface wettability confirmed the excellent safety and amphiphilic character of CAES. CAES-stabilized Pickering emulsion (CS-PE) exhibited different emulsion stability at different DS, with CS-PE (0.031) showing the highest stability. CLSM revealed that the CAES (0.031) formed a dense barrier on the surface of the oil droplets, preventing them from coalescing. The CS-PE (0.031) achieved effective encapsulation of Cur (up to 96.2 %). Compared with free Cur, CS-PE (0.031) exhibited better photochemical stability, higher free fatty acids (FFA) release, and enhanced bioaccessibility. These studies suggested that CAES may serve as a promising emulsifier for stabilizing Pickering emulsions to encapsulate and deliver hydrophobic bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Although fat is one of the indispensable components of food flavor, excessive fat consumption could cause obesity, metabolism syndromes and an imbalance in the intestinal flora. In the pursuit of a healthy diet, designing fat reducing foods by inhibiting lipid digestion and calorie intake is a promising strategy. Altering the gastric emptying rates of lipids as well as acting on the lipase by suppressing the enzymatic activity or limiting lipase diffusion via interfacial modulation can effectively decrease lipolysis rates. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of colloid-based strategies that can be employed to retard lipid hydrolysis, including pancreatic lipase inhibitors, emulsion-based interfacial modulation and fat substitutes. Plants-/microorganisms-derived lipase inhibitors bind to catalytic active sites and change the enzymatic conformation to inhibit lipase activity. Introducing oil-in-water Pickering emulsions into the food can effectively delay lipolysis via steric hindrance of interfacial particulates. Regulating stability and physical states of emulsions can also affect the rate of hydrolysis by altering the active hydrolysis surface. 3D network structure assembled by fat substitutes with high viscosity can not only slow down the peristole and obstruct the diffusion of lipase to the oil droplets but also impede the transportation of lipolysis products to epithelial cells for adsorption. Their applications in low-calorie bakery, dairy and meat products were also discussed, emphasizing fat intake reduction, structure and flavor retention and potential health benefits. However, further application of these strategies in large-scale food production still requires more optimization on cost and lipid reducing effects. This review provides a comprehensive review on colloidal approaches, design, principles and applications of fat reducing strategies to meet the growing demand for healthier diet and offer practical insights for the low-calorie food industry.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions have been widely studied due to their good stability and potential applications. Nanocellulose including cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and bacterial cellulose nanofibrils (BCNFs) has emerged as sustainable stabilizers/emulsifiers in food-related Pickering emulsions due to their favorable properties such as renewability, low toxicity, amphiphilicity, biocompatibility, and high aspect ratio. Nanocellulose can be widely obtained from different sources and extraction methods and can effectively stabilize Pickering emulsions via the irreversible adsorption onto oil-water interface. The synergistic effects of nanocellulose and other substances can further enhance the interfacial networks. The nanocellulose-based Pickering emulsions have potential food-related applications in delivery systems, food packaging materials, and fat substitutes. Nanocellulose-based Pickering emulsions as 3D printing inks exhibit good injectable and gelling properties and are promising to print spatial architectures. In the future, the utilization of biomass waste and the development of "green" and facile extraction methods for nanocellulose production deserve more attention. The stability of nanocellulose-based Pickering emulsions in multi-component food systems and at various conditions is an utmost challenge. Moreover, the case-by-case studies on the potential safety issues of nanocellulose-based Pickering emulsions need to be carried out with the standardized assessment procedures. In this review, we highlight key fundamental work and recent reports on nanocellulose-based Pickering emulsion systems. The sources and extraction of nanocellulose and the fabrication of nanocellulose-based Pickering emulsions are briefly summarized. Furthermore, the synergistic stability and food-related applications of nanocellulose-stabilized Pickering emulsions are spotlighted.

Abstract
The effect of konjac glucomannan (KGM) on the stability and digestion characteristics of xanthan gum/lysozyme nanoparticles (XG/Ly NPs) stabilized Pickering emulsions was investigated. Results indicated that the high viscosity of KGM prompted the particles to be adsorbed toward the interface, which decreased the particle size and increased the stability of emulsions. As the concentration of KGM increased, the G' and G″ of emulsions became larger and approached a "solid-like" state. When the KGM concentration was ≥0.2 %, the large amplitude sweeps of the emulsion exhibited a "weak strain overshoot". The network structure formed by KGM molecular chain and particles was intertwined around the droplets to form a polysaccharide layer and fibrous network structure. Emulsions containing KGM showed a "spider web" epidermal network pattern. It was found by illumination for 4 h that samples with 0.2 % KGM concentration increased the retention of β-carotene by 18.74 %. KGM decreased the release rate of fatty acids and bioaccessibility by hindering bile salt and lipase adsorption.

Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), mainly found in microalgae and fish oil, is crucial for the growth and development of visual, neurological, and brain. In addition, DHA has been found to improve metabolic disorders associated with obesity and has anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-adipogenesis effects. However, DHA applications in food are often limited due to its low water solubility, instability, and poor bioavailability. Therefore, delivery systems have been developed to enhance the remainder of DHA activity and increase DHA homeostasis and bioavailability. This review focused on the different DHA delivery systems and the in vitro and in vivo digestive characteristics. The research progress on cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, visual, neurological/brain, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, food applications, future trends, and the development potential of DHA delivery systems were also reviewed. DHA delivery systems could overcome the instability of DHA in gastrointestinal digestion, improve the bioavailability of DHA, and better play the role of its functionality.
