Food industry aims to develop novel protein-based emulsifiers from sustainable sources (e.g. plants, seaweed/microalgae, microbial, and insects) satisfy the clean-label demand by consumers. Enzymatic hydrolysis releases peptides with enhanced surface properties compared parent alternative proteins. Traditionally, a trial-and-error top-down approach, which requires extensive costs in screening a...

Self-assembled polymeric micelles can be used as efficient particulate emulsifiers. To explore the relationship between the structure and the oil-water interfacial behavior of the micelle emulsifiers, a new type of amphiphilic random copolymer, poly{(styrene-alt-maleic acid)-co-[styrene-alt-(N-3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyl-maleamic acid)]} (SMA-Dopa), was synthesized, self-assembled into micelles, a...

PURPOSE To formulate hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-stabilized self-emulsifying solid dispersible carriers of noscapine to enhance oral bioavailability. METHODS Formulation of noscapine (Nos) self-emulsifying solid dispersible microparticles (SESDs) was afforded by emulsification using an optimized formula of Labrafil M1944, Tween-80, and Labrasol followed by spray-drying with hydroxypropyl me...

The nutritional value of milk proteins is determined by their digestive abilities and the availability of essential amino acids. These nutritional values are not affected by heat treatment, although the functional characterisations of milk proteins (e.g. emulsifying, water binding, and dissolving properties) might change. Short-term high temperature treatment does not cause significant chemical...

Summary Ganxet protein isolates (GPI) were assessed for antioxidant and functional properties including emulsifying foaming capacity. The content water activity ( a w ) value of GPI 91.08 ± 4.15% 0.248 0.008%, respectively. oil‐ water‐holding capacities calculated as 2.76 0.33 1.25 0.11 g −1 GPI, respectively P < 0.05). Foaming found to be pH‐dependent highest capacity values observed at pH ...

BACKGROUND Many patients depend on moisturisers issued by public health services in the management of atopic dermatitis (AD). METHODS In a randomised controlled trial of patients with mild to moderate AD, aged 1-12 years, study 1 compared aqueous cream v. liquid paraffin (fragrance-free baby oil) as a soap substitute, all patients using emulsifying ointment as moisturiser, and study 2 compare...

Ditaxis heterantha is a plant of the Euphorbiaceae family that grows in semiarid regions of Mexico. It produces yellow pigmented seeds that are used for coloring of foods. The seeds contain about 20% of proteins. Proteins of D. heterantha were extracted and fractionated on the basis of solubility. Three main protein fractions were obtained: glutelins, 488 ± 0.5; albumins, 229 ± 2; and total glo...

Pickering emulsions with the use of particles as emulsifiers have been extensively used in scientific research and industrial production due to their edge in biocompatibility and stability compared with traditional emulsions. The control over Pickering emulsion stability and type plays a significant role in these applications. Among the present methods to build controllable Pickering emulsions,...

Core cross-linked star polymers of low polydispersity were efficiently prepared in high yield by RAFT-mediated emulsion and dispersion polymerizations in water at high solid content. These star polymers were demonstrated to be effective emulsifiers, and the emulsion was successfully used as template to fabricate polymer particles.
