Interfacial mechanisms, environmental influences, and applications of polysaccharide-based emulsions: A review.

To develop stable polysaccharide-based emulsions, many studies have focused on the interfacial behavior of adsorbed polysaccharides. This review first discussed the mechanism of polysaccharides self-assembly at the oil-water interface. It can be concluded that polysaccharides can form a thick and strong interfacial membrane that stabilizes emulsions through steric hindrance and electrostatic interactions.

Tyramine-assisted fluorescent labeling of polysaccharides: Characterization, and interfacial properties.

Fluorescence labeling has been widely used in various fields, including fluorescent sensors, biochemistry, medical and chemical research. This study proposed an efficient strategy for the detection and microanalysis of polysaccharides. Soy hull polysaccharide (SHP) was successfully labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) via an amination reaction using tyramine as a linker.

Exploring the influence of different enzymes on soy hull polysaccharide emulsion stabilization: A study on interfacial behavior and structural changes.

The interfacial behavior of soy hull polysaccharide (SHP) at the oil-water interface and the stabilization mechanism of high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) with three enzymes (α-amylase, trypsin and papain) were investigated. The diameter of the α-amylase-treated emulsion was the minimum at 40 min, indicating that the carbohydrate portions of SHP form a thick layer on the surface of the droplet to prevent aggregation. Moreover, Raman spectroscopy revealed significantly higher levels of disordered content of SHP emulsion treated with α-amylase at 60 min, potentially affecting the directional movement of SHP molecules in the emulsion.
