Abstract
To overcome the defects of Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl. essential oil (CAEO), such as high volatility and poor stability, supercritical fluid-extracted CAEO nanoemulsion (SFE-CAEO-NE) was prepared by the microemulsification method. Emulsifiers comprising Tween 80, polyoxyethylenated castor oil (EL-40), and 1,2-hexanediol, and an oil phase containing SFE-CAEO were used for microemulsification. We examined the physicochemical properties of SFE-CAEO-NE and steam distillation-extracted CAEO nanoemulsion (SDE-CAEO-NE), which were prepared using different concentrations of the emulsifiers. The mean particle size and zeta potential were 21.52 nm and -9.82 mV, respectively, for SFE-CAEO-NE, and 30.58 nm and -6.28 mV, respectively, for SDE-CAEO-NE, at an emulsifier concentration of 15% (w/w). SFE-CAEO-NE displayed better physicochemical properties compared with SDE-CAEO-NE. Moreover, its physicochemical properties were generally stable at different temperatures (-20-60℃), pH (3-8), and ionic strengths (0-400 mM). No obvious variations in particle size, zeta potential, and Ke were observed after storing this nanoemulsion for 30 days at 4℃, 25℃, and 40℃, suggesting that it had good stability. The sleep-promoting effect of SFE-CAEO-NE was evaluated using a mouse model of insomnia. The results of behavioral tests indicated that SFE-CAEO-NE ameliorated insomnia-like behavior. Moreover, SFE-CAEO- NE administration increased the serum concentrations of neurotransmitters such as 5-hydroxytryptamine and γ-aminobutyric acid, and decreased that of noradrenaline in mice. It also exerted a reparative effect on the function of damaged neurons. Overall, SFE-CAEO-NE displayed a good sleep-promoting effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palm pressed fibre (PPF) is a cellulose-rich biomass residue produced during palm oil extraction. Its high cellulose content allows the isolation of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). CNC has attracted scientific interest due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility and low cost. The present study isolated CNC from PPF using a cation exchange resin, which is an environmentally friendly and less harsh hydrolysis method than conventional mineral acid hydrolysis. Isolated CNC was used to stabilise an oil-in-water emulsion and the emulsion stability was evaluated in terms of droplet size, morphology and physical stability. RESULTS PPF was subjected to alkali and bleach treatment prior to hydrolysis, which successfully removed 54% and 75% of non-cellulosic components (hemicellulose and lignin, respectively). Hydrolysis conditions of 5 h, 15:1 (w/w) resin-to-pulp ratio and 50 °C produced CNC particles of 50-100 nm in length. CNC had a crystallinity index of 42% and appeared rod-like morphologically. CNC-stabilised emulsion had better stability when used in combination with soy lecithin (SL), a well-established, commonly used food stabiliser. Emulsion stabilised by the binary mixture of CNC and SL had droplet size, morphology and physical stability comparable to those of emulsion stabilised using SL. CONCLUSIONS CNC was successfully isolated from PPF through a cation exchange resin. This offers an alternative usage for the underutilised PPF to be converted into value-added products. Isolated CNC was also found to have promising potential in the stabilisation of Pickering emulsions. These results provide useful information indicating CNC as a natural and sustainable stabiliser for food, cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical applications. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microalgae are a promising alternative source to meet the increasing global demand for protein. The insoluble microalgae protein fraction that makes up over half of the protein composition of the biomass has shown potential to serve as a functional emulsifier after acidic hydrolysis. However, creaming was observed due to the flocculation of emulsion droplets, suggesting a preferable use in concentrated emulsions. RESULTS In this study, we examined the emulsifying behavior of the untreated insoluble microalgae protein fraction and two of its hydrolysates obtained in 0.5 mol L-1 HCl for 4 h at 65 °C (Hydrolysates 65) or 85 °C (Hydrolysates 85), at a concentration of 3% (w/w), and elevated levels of oil (50-70%). The results showed an increase in droplet size and apparent viscosity with increasing oil content in the emulsions. The emulsions made with Hydrolysates 85 had the smallest droplet size and the highest apparent viscosity. The gravitational separation was hindered when oil content was increased. The Hydrolysates 85 stabilized emulsions had a gel-like structure and were stable against coalescence or creaming during a 7 day storage test. CONCLUSION The results suggest that the thermal acid-treated fraction Hydrolysates 85 may, in particular, be a good emulsifier to formulate concentrated emulsion-based foods with oil content over 50%, such as mayonnaise, salad dressings, or dips. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With an increasing demand for edible protein, research on new extraction methods is attracting more attention. The effects of such methods on functional properties are important. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-assisted extraction on the extraction efficiency, structure, and the emulsifying properties of peanut protein isolate (PPI). RESULTS Ultrasound-assisted extraction significantly improved extraction efficiency and shortened the processing time. The nanostructure, molecular weight distribution, and particle size of PPI were altered by ultrasound-assisted extraction. The emulsifying properties of the PPI from ultrasound-assisted extraction were significantly improved compared with alkaline extraction. Peanut protein isolate had lower molecular weight fractions, higher levels of hydrophobic amino acids, and the highest fluorescence intensity with ultrasound intensity, temperature, and time of 3.17 W cm-3 , 35 °C, and 30 min, respectively. These contributed to the higher emulsifying activity index and emulsifying stability index of the PPI emulsions. The uniform distribution of droplets and smaller particle size of the PPI emulsions was also observed. CONCLUSION The results suggested that ultrasound can be used to induce the conformational changes to modify the interfacial association between protein-oil phases, thereby improving the emulsifying properties of peanut protein. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Presently, identifying natural compounds as emulsifiers is a popular topic in the food industry. Rapeseed protein isolate (RPI) is a natural plant protein with excellent emulsifying properties, but it has not been systematically developed and utilized. RESULTS This study investigated the surface hydrophobicity, wettability, and protein solubility of RPI to further explain its emulsifying behavior in emulsion systems. Nanoemulsions stabilized by RPI at varying protein concentration, pH, and ionic strength were prepared. The size distribution, zeta potential, flocculation index, creaming index, microstructure, rheology, and protein secondary structure of emulsions were measured. The emulsion stabilized by 20 g L-1 RPI at pH 10.0, 200 mmol L-1 ionic strength revealed an appropriate droplet size of 555 nm and the most internal gel strength without creaming phenomenon. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed a positive correlation between emulsion stability and α-helix ratio, indicating the environment factors affected emulsion stability by acting on its hydrogen bonds. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that RPI is a practical emulsifier for stabilizing nanoemulsions. About 20 g L-1 RPI can stabilize 100 mL L-1 oil in water; stable emulsions can be formed at most pH conditions (except 7.0); ion addition will aggravate the emulsion flocculation, but also increase the internal gel strength. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pectin is a natural polysaccharide that has been used widely as a stabilizer in food emulsion system. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to optimize the yield of pectin extracted from sweet potato residue and investigate its emulsifying properties. METHODS Response surface methodology (RSM) has been utilized to investigate the pectin extracted from sweet potato peels using citric acid as the extracting solvent. Investigation of the effect of different extraction conditions namely temperature (°C), time (min) and solution pH on pectin yield (%) were conducted. A Box-Benhken design with three levels of variation was used to optimize the extraction conditions. RESULTS The optimal conditions determined were temperature 76°C, time 64 min and pH 1.2 with 65.2% yield of pectin. The degree of esterification (DE) of the sweet potato pectin was determined using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The pectin is high-methoxyl pectin with DE of 58.5%. Emulsifying properties of sweet potato pectin were investigated by measuring the zeta-potential, particle size and creaming index with addition of 0.4 and 1.0 wt % pectin to the emulsion. CONCLUSION Extraction using citric acid could improve the pectin yield. Improved emulsion stability was observed with the addition of the sweet potato pectin.

Abstract
In the present work, the production of bioemulsifier (BE) by a lactic acid bacterium (LAB) grown at 25 °C in lactic whey-based media for 24 h was evaluated. Maximum production was detected in a medium containing yeast extract, peptone and lactic whey (LAPLW medium), with a yield of 270 mg L-1. The BE proved to be more innocuous for Caco-2 cells, used as a toxicological indicator, than the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100. In addition, the microbial product presented higher stability to changes in temperature (37 °C to 100 °C), pH (2-10), and salt concentration (5% and 20%, w/v) than the synthetic surfactant. Regarding emulsifying capacity tested against different hydrophobic substrates (kerosene, motor oil, diesel, sunflower oil, and grape oil), the BE displayed E24 values similar to or even better than those of Triton X-100. Finally, Triton X-100 caused irreversible modifications on the giant unilamellar vesicles (used as model membrane system), promoting the solubilization of the lipid bilayers. Nevertheless, BE induced temporary modifications of the membrane, which is associated with incorporation of the bioproduct in the outer layer. These results demonstrate the role of BE in biological processes, including reversible changes in microbial membranes to enhance the access to hydrophobic substrates.

Abstract
Marine microorganisms represent a reservoir of new promising secondary metabolites. Surface-active proteins with good emulsification activity can be isolated from fungal species that inhabit the marine environment and can be promising candidates for different biotechnological applications. In this study a novel surface-active protein, named Sap-Pc, was purified from a marine strain of Penicillium chrysogenum. The effect of salt concentration and temperature on protein production was analyzed, and a purification method was set up. The purified protein, identified as Pc13g06930, was annotated as a hypothetical protein. It was able to form emulsions, which were stable for at least one month, with an emulsification index comparable to that of other known surface-active proteins. The surface tension reduction was analyzed as function of protein concentration and a critical micellar concentration of 2 μM was determined. At neutral or alkaline pH, secondary structure changes were monitored over time, concurrently with the appearance of protein precipitation. Formation of amyloid-like fibrils of SAP-Pc was demonstrated by spectroscopic and microscopic analyses. Moreover, the effect of protein concentration, a parameter affecting kinetics of fibril formation, was investigated and an on-pathway involvement of micellar aggregates during the fibril formation process was suggested.

Abstract
Unicellular microalgae are a valuable source of macro- and micronutrients. They contain, for example, proteins that are potentially useful as new emulsifiers. The aim of this study was to investigate the emulsifying properties of a less-refined lyophilized crude water-soluble extract (WSE), obtained from the heterotrophically cultivated microalga Chlorella protothecoides. Interfacial tension measurements indicated that mainly the proteins in the extract showed interfacial activity. O/W emulsions were prepared by high-pressure homogenization (1 000 bar, 3 passes) with 5.0 wt % of oil and 2.5 wt % of protein from Chlorella protothecoides, resulting in emulsions having a volume-based mean droplet diameter of d43 ≤ 1 μm and being stable for at least 7 days. Two different stress tests showed that ( i) protein-stabilized emulsions were resistant to very high salt concentrations (up to 500 mM NaCl), and ( ii) emulsions were stable over a very broad pH range of 2-9, with only minor changes in the particle size d43 (e.g. with an increase of only 300 nm when the pH was lowered from 5 to 4) compared to whey protein-stabilized emulsions. All WSE emulsions had monomodal particle size distributions and were macro- and microscopically stable during a storage of up to 7 days. The results indicate that the WSE of Chlorella protothecoides has remarkably good emulsifying properties and might be of use as a new emulsifier in various applications in which emulsions are exposed to a broad range of ionic strengths and pH values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium caseinate (SC) is not considered suitable for use as an emulsifier in organic processed food in the food industry because of the use of prohibited synthetic chemical substances during its production. Casein mixture preparation (CMP), one of the permissible substances specified in the regulations, was isolated from organic milk using citric acid and dibasic potassium phosphate for organic processed foods. RESULTS To compare CMP and SC, model emulsions stabilized with each substance were prepared at various concentrations and their physicochemical properties were analyzed. The emulsions' stability was determined using Turbiscan under various environmental stresses. The zeta potential of SC and CPM showed a high surface charge (≤ 30 mV) at all protein concentrations. Because the concentration of the protein preparation increased to 0.75% (w/v), the particle size of the CMP emulsion decreased with the surface load increased as much as that of SC. The CMP and SC emulsions were stable at neutral pH and room temperature. However, at acidic pH and high temperature, both emulsions were destabilized by creaming and flocculation and increased the creaming migration rates. CONCLUSION Overall, our data suggest the use of CMP as an emulsifier substitute for SC in organic processed foods. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A protein extract from the brown seaweed Himanthalia elongata (Linnaeus) S. F. Gray was prepared and its functional properties, colour and amino acid composition were assessed for its potential future use by the food industry. The total content of amino acids was determined as 54.02±0.46gaminoacids/kg dry weight, with high levels of the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. SDS-PAGE showed 5 protein bands with molecular weights of 71.6, 53.7, 43.3, 36.4 and 27.1kDa. The water holding capacity and oil holding capacity were determined as 10.27±0.09gH2O/g and 8.1±0.07goil/g respectively. Foaming activity and stability were higher at alkaline pH values. The emulsifying capacity and stability of the extract varied depending on the pH and oil used. These results demonstrate the potential use of Himanthalia elongata protein extract in the food industry.

Abstract
This study describes a novel and efficient alasan-like bioemulsifier produced by Pseudomonas stutzeri NJtech 11-1, which was isolated from the Shengli Oilfield. The strain was found to produce a new and interesting emulsion stabilizer. The crude bioemulsifier showed super stability with 50% salinity and broad pH 3-10. The emulsion index (EI24) was increased to 100% after heating from 45 to 95 °C and the emulsion could be stable for at least 30 days. The yield of Ps-bioemulsifier (pure bioemulsifier) was 0.68 ± 0.05 mg mL-1. The Ps-bioemulsifier was composed of carbohydrates (80 ± 2.6%) and proteins (9.5 ± 0.5%). A low concentration (0.2 mg mL-1) of the Ps-bioemulsifier was obtained maximum emulsifying activity at pH 7.1 and its emulsifying activity strengthened by suitable salinity. Furthermore, Ps-bioemulsifier could also emulsify cyclohexane, hexadecane, kerosene, xylene hydrocarbons efficiently. Therefore, the Ps-bioemulsifier showed emulsifying characteristics which make it a good candidate for potential applications in bioremediation and microbial enhanced oil recovery.

Abstract
The interfacial and emulsion-forming properties of sugar beet extract (Beta vulgaris L.) were examined and compared to a Quillaja extract that is widely used within the food industry. We investigated the influence of extract concentration on surface activity at oil-water and air-water interfaces and on the formation of oil-in-water emulsions (10% w/w, pH 7). Sugar beet extract reduced the interfacial tension up to 38% at the oil-water interface, and the surface tension up to 33% at the air-water surface. The generated emulsions were negatively charged (ζ ≈ -46 mV) and had the smallest particle sizes (d43) of ∼1.3 μm at a low emulsifier-to-oil ratio of 0.75:10. Applying lower or higher extract concentrations increased the mean particle sizes. The smallest emulsions were formed at an optimum homogenization pressure of 69 MPa. Higher homogenization pressures led to increased particle sizes. Overall, sugar beet extract showed high surface activity. Furthermore, the formation of small emulsion droplets was successful; however, the droplets were bigger compared to those from the Quillaja extract. These results indicate sugar beet as an effective natural emulsifier that may be utilized for a variety of food and beverage applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alfalfa is considered a potential feedstock for biofuels; co-products with value-added uses would enhance process viability. This work evaluated dried alfalfa leaves for protein production and describes the functional properties of the protein. RESULTS Dried alfalfa leaves contained 260 g kg-1 dry basis (DB) crude protein, with albumins being the major fraction (260 g kg-1 of total protein). Alkali solubilization for 2 h at 50 °C, acid precipitation, dialysis, and freeze-drying produced a protein concentrate (600 g kg-1 DB crude protein). Alfalfa leaf protein concentrate showed moderate solubility (maximum 500 g kg-1 soluble protein from pH 5.5 to 10), excellent emulsifying properties (activity 158-219 m2 g-1 protein, stability 17-49 min) and minimal loss of solubility during heating at pH ≥ 7.0. CONCLUSIONS It is technically feasible to extract protein with desirable emulsifying and heat stability properties from dried alfalfa leaves; however, the dried form may not be a practical starting material for protein production, given the difficulty of achieving high yields and high-purity protein product. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A Mucoralean fungus was isolated from Caatinga soil of Pernambuco, Northeast of Brazil, and was identified as Cunninghamella echinulata by morphological, physiological, and biochemical tests. This strain was evaluated for biosurfactant/bioemulsifier production using soybean oil waste (SOW) and corn steep liquor (CSL) as substrates, added to basic saline solution, by measuring surface tension and emulsifier index and activity. The best results showed the surface water tension was reduced from 72 to 36 mN/m, and an emulsification index (E₂₄) of 80% was obtained using engine oil and burnt engine oil, respectively. A new molecule of biosurfactant showed an anionic charge and a polymeric chemical composition consisting of lipids (40.0% w/w), carbohydrates (35.2% w/w) and protein (20.3% w/w). In addition, the biosurfactant solution (1%) demonstrated its ability for an oil displacement area (ODA) of 37.36 cm², which is quite similar to that for Triton X-100 (38.46 cm²). The stability of the reduction in the surface water tension as well as of the emulsifier index proved to be stable over a wide range of temperatures, in pH, and in salt concentration (4%-6% w/v). The biosurfactant showed an ability to reduce and increase the viscosity of hydrophobic substrates and their molecules, suggesting that it is a suitable candidate for mediated enhanced oil recovery. At the same time, these studies indicate that renewable, relatively inexpensive and easily available resources can be used for important biotechnological processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statistically based experimental designs were applied to Bacillus subtilis SPB1 biosurfactant extraction. The extracted biosurfactant was tested as an additive in dough formulation. RESULTS The Plackett-Burman screening method showed that methanol volume, agitation speed and operating temperature affect biosurfactant extraction. The effect was studied and adjusted using response surface methodology. The optimal values were identified as 5 mL methanol, 180 rpm and 25 °C, yielding predicted responses of 2.1 ± 0.06 for the purification factor and 87.47% ± 1.58 for the retention yield. Study of the incorporation of purified lipopeptide powder into the dough preparation in comparison with a commercial surfactant - soya lecithin - reveal that SPB1 biosurfactant significantly improves the textural properties of dough (hardness, springiness, cohesion and adhesion) especially at 0.5 g kg⁻¹. At the same concentration (0.5 g kg⁻¹), the effect of SPB1 biosurfactant was more pronounced than that of soya lecithin. Also, this biosurfactant considerably enhanced the gas retention capacity in the course of fermentation. CONCLUSION These results show that SPB1 biosurfactant could be of great interest in the bread-making industry. A method for preparative extraction of lipopeptide biosurfactant with methanol as the extraction solvent has been effectively established.

Abstract
Extraction and identification of surface active substance of Alcaligenes sp. S-XJ-1, as well as description of its emulsion breaking process were conducted to reveal the demulsifying characteristics of this demulsifying strain. Alkali solvent was adopted in the extraction process with conditions optimized as 35 degrees C, 0.08 mol x L(-1) of alkali concentration, 12 g x L(-1) of sample to solution ratio, and 4 h of extraction time by launching both single-factor and orthogonal tests. Under this optimal condition, the extracted surface active substance (the extraction ratio was 36.1%) achieved 77% emulsion breaking ratio for 500 mg x L(-1) within 48 h. FT-IR showed the existence of glycolipids, lipids and proteins in the surface active substance, the molecular weight of which mainly scattered between 55 and 61 256. Saccharides, lipids and proteins were identified as the three chief components in surface active substance with the content of 22.2%, 7.5% and 13.4%, respectively. The proteins were further proved to take the most responsibility for the emulsion breaking ability. Moreover, obvious difference in the emulsion breaking process was demonstrated between the original demulsifying strain S-XJ-1 and the extracted surface active substance by real time observation of Turbiscan Lab Expert. The results suggested that the demulsifying efficiency of the strain was jointly contributed by its surface active substance and demulsifying cell morphology, and the former possessed higher functional priority than the latter.

Abstract
The main goal of this work was to analyze the effect of surface substances on demulsifying capability of the demulsifying strain Alcaligenes sp. S-XJ-1. The demulsifying substances were successfully separated from the cell surface with dichloromethane-alkali treatment, and exhibited 67.5% of the demulsification ratio for water-in-kerosene emulsions at a dosage of 356mg/L. FT-IR, TLC and ESI-MS analysis confirmed the presence of a carbohydrate-protein-lipid complex in the demulsifying substances with the major molecular ions from mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) 165 to 814. After the substances separated, the cell morphology changed from aggregated to dispersed, and the concentration of cell surface functional groups decreased. Cell surface hydrophobicity and the ability of cell adhesion to hydrophobic surface of the treated cells was also reduced compared with original cell. It was proved that the demulsifying substances had a significant effect on cell surface properties and accordingly with demulsifying capability of Alcaligenes sp. S-XJ-1.

Abstract
Pseudomonas nitroreducens TSB.MJ10 exhibiting growth and bioemulsifier production with 0.5% sodium benzoate as the sole carbon source was isolated from a mangrove ecosystem in the vicinity of a petroleum pump. The bioemulsifier is a lipopeptide that is stable over a pH range of 5-11 and a temperature range of 20-90°C and showed emulsifying activity in the presence of relatively high NaCl concentrations (up to 25%). The bioemulsifier formed stable emulsions with aliphatic (hexadecane, n-heptane, cyclohexane), aromatic (xylene, benzene, toluene) and petroleum (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil) compounds. It exhibited a maximum emulsification activity with weathered crude oil (97%) and was capable of transforming the rheological behavior of the pseudoplastic to a Newtonian fluid. The results reveal the potential of the bioemulsifier for use in bioremediation of hydrocarbons in marine environments and in enhanced oil recovery.

Abstract
The class II hydrophobin HFBI from Trichoderma reesei was heterologously expressed by Pichia pastoris using pPIC9 vector under the control of the promoter AOX1. The recombinant HFBI (rHFBI) was purified by ultrafiltration and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Tricine-SDS-PAGE and Western blotting demonstrated that rHFBI with the expected molecular weight of 7.5 kDa was secreted into the culture medium. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and water contact angle measurements indicated that rHFBI could lead to the conversion of the wettability of the hydrophobic siliconized glass and hydrophilic mica surfaces relying on the self-assembly membrane on hydrophobic/hydrophilic interfaces. It was demonstrated that rHFBI had the ability to stabilize oil droplets, which was far excess of the class I hydrophobin HGFI heterologously expressed in P. pastoris (rHGFI) and the typical food emulsifier sodium caseinate. In gushing experiments, it was shown that rHFBI was a strong gushing inducer in beer, whereas rHGFI did not display any signs of gushing. This provided the potential of rHFBI to be used as a novel emulsifying agent and a predictor of gushing risk.

Abstract
Geobacillus pallidus XS2 and XS3 were isolated from oil contaminated soil samples in Yumen oilfield, China, and were able to produce bioemulsifiers on different hydrocarbons. Biodegradation assays exhibited that approximately 70% of PAH (250 mg/L) or 85% of crude oil (500 mg/L) was removed by the thermophilic bacteria after 20 days. The bioemulsifiers of the two strains were isolated and obtained a productive yield of 4.24±0.08 and 3.82±0.11g/L, respectively. GPC analysis revealed that the number-average molecular weights (M(n)) of the two bioemulsifiers were 271,785 Da and 526,369 Da, with PDI values of 1.104 and 1.027, respectively. Chemical composition studies exhibited that the bioemulsifier XS2 consisted of carbohydrates (68.6%), lipids (22.7%) and proteins (8.7%) while the bioemulsifier XS3 was composed by carbohydrates (41.1%), lipids (47.6%) and proteins (11.3%). Emulsification assays approved the effectiveness of bioemulsifiers over a wide range of temperature, pH and salinity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds are a good source of protein that has potential applications in new product formulation and fortification. The main objectives of this study were to analyse the physicochemical, thermal and functional properties of chickpea protein isolates (CPIs) and compare them with those of soy (SPI) and pea (PPI) protein isolates. RESULTS Extracted CPIs had mean protein contents of 728-853 g kg(-1) (dry weight basis). Analysis of their deconvoluted Fourier transform infrared spectra gave secondary structure estimates of 25.6-32.7% α-helices, 32.5-40.4% β-sheets, 13.8-18.9% turns and 16.3-19.2% disordered structures. CPIs from CDC Xena, among Kabuli varieties, and Myles, among Desi varieties, as well as SPI had the highest water-holding and oil absorption capacities. The emulsifying properties of Kabuli CPIs were superior to those of PPI and Desi CPIs and as good as those of SPI. The heat-induced gelation properties of CPIs showed a minimum protein concentration required to form a gel structure ranging from 100 to 140 g L(-1) . Denaturation temperatures and enthalpies of CPIs ranged from 89.0 to 92.0 °C and from 2.4 to 4.0 J g(-1) respectively. CONCLUSION The results suggest that most physicochemical, thermal and functional properties of CPIs compare favourably with those of SPI and are better than those of PPI. Hence CPI may be suitable as a high-quality substitute for SPI in food applications.

Abstract
A marine bacterial strain identified as Vibrio parahaemolyticus by 16S rRNA gene (HM355955) sequencing and gas chromatography (GC) coupled with MIDI was selected from a natural biofilm by its capability to produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The EPS had an average molecule size of 15.278 μm and exhibited characteristic diffraction peaks at 5.985°, 9.150° and 22.823°, with d-spacings of 14.76661, 9.29989 and 3.89650 Å, respectively. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum revealed aliphatic methyl, primary amine, halide groups, uronic acid and saccharides. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) confirmed the presence of arabinose, galactose, glucose and mannose. (1)HNMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) revealed functional groups characteristic of polysaccharides. The EPS were amorphous in nature (CI(xrd) 0.092), with a 67.37% emulsifying activity, thermostable up to 250°C and displayed pseudoplastic rheology. MALDI-TOF-TOF analysis revealed a series of masses, exhibiting low-mass peaks (m/z) corresponding to oligosaccharides and higher-mass peaks for polysaccharides consisting of different ratios of pentose and hexose moieties. This is the first report of a detailed characterisation of the EPS produced by V. parahaemolyticus, which could be further explored for biotechnological and industrial use.

Abstract
Microfiltration (MF) membranes with pore sizes of 200 and 450 nm and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with molecular weight cut off of 50, 100, and 500 kDa were assessed for their ability to eliminate nonprotein substances from okara protein extract in a laboratory cross-flow membrane system. Both MF and UF improved the protein content of okara extract to a similar extent from approximately 68% to approximately 81% owing to the presence of protein in the feed leading to the formation of dynamic layer controlling the performance rather than the actual pore size of membranes. Although normalized flux in MF-450 (117 LMH/MPa) was close to UF-500 (118 LMH/MPa), the latter was selected based on higher average flux (47 LMH) offering the advantage of reduced processing time. Membrane processing of soy extract improved the protein content from 62% to 85% much closer to the target value. However, the final protein content in okara (approximately 80%) did not reach the target value (90%) owing to the greater presence of soluble fibers that were retained by the membrane. Solubility curve of membrane okara protein concentrate (MOPC) showed lower solubility than soy protein concentrate and a commercial isolate in the entire pH range. However, water absorption and fat-binding capacities of MOPC were either superior or comparable while emulsifying properties were in accordance with its solubility. The results of this study showed that okara protein concentrate (80%) could be produced using membrane technology without loss of any true proteins, thus offering value addition to okara, hitherto underutilized. Practical Application: Okara, a byproduct obtained during processing soybean for soymilk, is either underutilized or unutilized in spite of the fact that its protein quality is as good as that of soy milk and tofu. Membrane-processed protein products have been shown to possess superior functional properties compared to conventionally produced protein products. However, the potential of membrane technology has not been exploited for the recovery of okara protein. Our study showed that protein content of okara extract could be improved from approximately 68% to approximately 81% without losing any true proteins in the process.

Abstract
The results of the present study show that Lactobacillus pentosus can produce extracellular bioemulsifiers by utilizing hemicellulosic sugars from grape marc as a source of carbon. The effectiveness of these bioemulsifiers (LPEM) was studied by preparing kerosene/water (K/W) emulsions in the presence and absence of these emulsifiers. Various parameters such as relative emulsion volume (EV), stabilizing capacity (ES), viscosity, and droplet size of K/W emulsions were measured. The EV values for K/W emulsions stabilized by concentrated LPEM were approximately 74.5% after 72 h of emulsion formation, with ES values of 97%. These values were higher than those obtained with dodecyl sodium sulfate as emulsifier (EV=62.3% and ES=87.7%). Additionally, K/W emulsions stabilized by LPEM produced polydisperse emulsions containing droplets of radius between 10 and 40 μm, which were smaller than those obtained for K/W emulsions without LPEM (droplet radius=60-100 μm). Moreover, the viscosity values of the K/W emulsions without and with LPEM were approximately 236 and 495 cP, respectively.

Abstract
Six Acinetobacter sp. isolated from healthy human skin were checked for the production of bioemulsifier. Optimization studies indicated that Luria Bertani broth pH 7 supplemented with calcium chloride (1%) was the optimum medium. Temperature at 37 degrees C was optimum and inducer oils in the medium did not enhance bioemulsifier production. Partial purification of bioemulsifier and chemical analysis revealed that it is a proteoglycan with protein (53%), polysaccharide (43%) and lipid (2%). Maximum emulsification activity obtained was 400 EU/ml. Thin layer chromatography revealed the presence of mannose and rhamnose sugar and oleic and palmitic acids as parts of lipids. The yield obtained was 1.9 g / 1. Reconstitution studies revealed that the protein and polysaccharide fractions together display 94.55% of emulsification activity. It was also noted that the bioemulsifier was stable for 72 hr at 37 degrees C and displayed good cleaning property towards different oils. The partially purified bioemulsifier formed stable oil-in-water emulsions with plant oils.

Abstract
A self-emulsifying system is a mixture of oil and surfactant that forms oil-in-water emulsion when exposed to aqueous fluid. It enhances the in vitro dissolution and improves the in vivo absorption of lipophilic drugs that have poor aqueous solubility. In this study, a poorly water soluble drug, piroxicam, was incorporated into self-emulsifying lipospheres consisting of a mixture of a homolipid from Capra hircus and Tween 65. Various solid self-emulsifying lipospheres were formulated having different ratios of the homolipid and Tween 65 to contain piroxicam. The self-emulsifying lipospheres were evaluated using the following parameters: particle size, absolute drug content, and dissolution profile. The pharmacodynamics of the drug from the lipospheres were also evaluated using antinociceptive activity on albino mice. Based on our results the self-emulsifying lipospheres containing 4:11 ratio of the homolipid and Tween 65 had the best performance in terms of antiinflammatory effect, particle size, and dissolution. They possibly could be employed in the formulation of self-emulsifying lipospheres for various administration.

Abstract
During screening for novel emulsifiers and surfactants, a marine alphaproteobacterium, Antarctobacter sp. TG22, was isolated and selected for its production of an extracellular emulsifying agent, AE22. This emulsifier was produced optimally in a low-nutrient seawater medium supplemented with glucose and was extractable by cold ethanol precipitation of the high-molecular-weight fraction (>100 kDa). Production of AE22 commenced towards the late exponential phase of growth, with maximum emulsifying activity detected after approximately 4 days of the cells entering the death phase. Chemical, chromatographic and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis confirmed AE22 to be a high-molecular-weight (>2,000 kDa) glycoprotein with high uronic acids content, thus denoting an apparent polyanionic structure. Functional characterization showed this polymer to compare well to xanthan gum and gum arabic as an emulsion-stabilizing agent for a range of different food oils. However, AE22 exhibited better stabilizing than emulsifying properties, which could be conferred by its viscosifying effect in solution or from certain chemical groups found on the polysaccharide or protein moieties of the polymer. This new high-molecular-weight glycoprotein exhibits interesting functional qualities that are comparable to other biopolymers of this type and shows particular promise as an emulsion-stabilizing agent in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain LP03 isolated from soil, produced an antagonistic compound that strongly inhibited the growth of plant-pathogenic fungi and a lipopeptide biosurfactant. Also, isolated strain LP03 had a marked crude oil-emulsifying activity as it developed a clear zone around the colony after incubation for 24 h at 37 degrees C. LP03 was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by analysis of partial 16 S rRNA gene and partial gyrA gene sequence. The lipopeptide was purified by acid precipitation of cell-free culture broth, extraction of the precipitates with methanol, silica gel column chromatography, and reverse-phase, high-pressure liquid chromatography. The purified biosurfactant was analyzed biochemical structure by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). The masses of the two peaks were observed by HPLC chromatography. Their masses were determined to be 1,044 and 1,058 m/z with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. As constituents of the peptide and lipophilic part of the m/z 1,022.6, seven amino acids (Glu-Leu-Met-Leu-Pro-Leu-Leu) and beta-hydroxy-C13 fatty acid were determined by ESI-MS/MS. The lipopeptide of 1,022.6 Da differed from surfactins in the substitution of leucine, valine and aspartic acid in positions 3, 4, and 5 by methionine, leucine, and proline, respectively. Novel lipopeptide was designated as bamylocin A.

Abstract
A marine bacterium, Myroides sp. SM1, can grow on weathered crude oil and show emulsification of it. The biosurfactant able to emulsify crude oil was excreted in culture supernatant of Myroides sp. SM1 grown on marine broth, which was extracted with chloroform/methanol (1:1) at pH 7 and purified by normal and reverse phase silica gel column chromatographies. The compound was ninhydrin-positive, and the chemical structure was elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to be a mixture of L: -ornithine lipids, which were composed of L: -ornithine and a different couple of iso-3-hydroxyfatty acid (C(15)-C(17)) and iso-fatty acid (C(15) or C(16)) in a ratio of 1:1:1. The critical micelle concentration for a mixture of ornithine lipids was measured to be approximately 40 mg/l. A mixture of ornithine lipids exhibited emulsifying activity for crude oil in a broad range of pH, temperature, and salinity and showed higher surface activity for oil displacement test than other several artificial surfactants and a biosurfactant, surfactin.

Abstract
Mannoprotein with emulsification properties was extracted from the cell walls of Kluyveromyces marxianus grown on a lactose-based medium by autoclaving cells in a citrate buffer at pH 7. The purified product was evaluated for chemical and physical stability to establish its potential use as a natural emulsifier in processed foods. The yield of purified bioemulsifier from this strain of K. marxianus was 4-7% of the original dry cell weight. The purified product, at a concentration of 12 g l(-1), formed emulsions that were stable for 3 months when subjected to a range of pH (3-11) and NaCl concentrations (2-50 g l(-1)). The composition of this mannoprotein was 90% carbohydrate (mannan) and 4-6% protein. These values are similar to mannoprotein extracted from cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is the traditional source. Consequently K. marxianus cultivated on a low-cost lactose-based medium such as whey, a lactose-rich clean waste of the dairy industry, could be developed as a source of bioemulsifier for use in the food industry.
