Behaviour of cyanidin-3-glucoside, β-lactoglobulin and polysaccharides nanoparticles in bulk and oil-in-water interfaces.

Particle size distributions as well the interfacial and rheological properties of the films at the oil/water interface were used to study the effect of the interacting system between β-lactoglobulin, cyanidin-3-glucoside and pectin or chitosan in buffer solutions. The particles obtained were smaller with cy-3-gluc-β-lg-pectin and had reduced polydispersity with cy-3-gluc-β-lg-chitosan. Based on time dependent surface pressure results, β-lg-pectin mixtures showed a slower increase at the beginning of the measurement, while β-lg-chitosan mixtures showed no differences with β-lg alone.
