Electrically charged food-grade biopolymers can be used to form multilayer coatings around the lipid droplets in oil-in-water emulsions using a sequential layer-by-layer electrostatic deposition approach. In principle, this approach can...

Oil-in-water emulsions are used as delivery systems for non-polar functional ingredients in various industries, including foods, cosmetics, personal care products, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Emulsions, however, tend to breakdown under the...

Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions can be designed to encapsulate, protect, and release both hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional compounds. In this study, we examined the impact of crystallizing the fat phase on...

In this study, we investigated the tailoring of food emulsions using interactions between rice bran cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and lauric arginate (LAE), which is food-grade cationic surfactant. Complexes of anionic...

Complex coacervation is a useful approach for creating biopolymer-based colloidal particles for the oral delivery of bioactives, such as nutraceuticals, vitamins, and pharmaceuticals. In this study, we examined the possibility...

Mixed Pickering emulsions were prepared by blending anionic nanocellulose-stabilized lipid droplets with cationic nanochitin-stabilized lipid droplets. Changes in the surface potential, particle size, shear viscosity, and morphology of the mixed...

Functional foods are being designed to breakdown in the human gut in a controlled fashion so as to regulate blood nutrient profiles, hormone release, energy intake, and bioavailability. Biopolymer microgels,...

Fine titanium dioxide (TiO) particles have been used as additives (E171) to modify the optical properties of foods and beverages for many years. Commercial TiO additives, however, often contain a...
