Bile salts (BS) are natural bio-surfactants that play crucial functions in this process and may represent a key strategy to modulate the lipolysis. One of the main functions is the removal of lipolysis products present at the interface of lipid droplets by solubilizing them in BS micelles, thus avoiding the reaction inhibition.

The emulsifiers can affect fatty acid (FA) solubilization as they can interact with FA. The main purpose of the present work is the development of a methodology to evaluate the FA solubilization in an aqueous medium in the absence and presence of exogenous emulsifiers.

Because bile salts (BS) play a crucial role in lipids metabolism, understanding how typical food emulsifiers affect the structures of BS under duodenal conditions, can aid to further understand how to control lipids digestion. In the present work the BS-binding capacity of three emulsifiers (Lecithin, Tween 80 and β-lactoglobulin) was studied under duodenal conditions.

Thus, it can be possible to obtain aggregates with a determined particle size, and altering a defined functional property at the same time. The objective of this work was to explore the impact of HIUS on the functionality of a denatured soy protein isolate (SPI) on foaming and interfacial properties.

While most of the proteins are surface active, only few polysaccharides can adsorb at the air-water interface; this is the case of propylene glycol alginates (PGA). It is known that casein glycomacropeptide (CMP), a bioactive polypeptide derived from κ-casein by the action of chymosin, presents a great foaming capacity but provides unstable foams.
