To investigate structure-function relationships with regard to emulsion-stabilizing properties, peptides from bovine beta-casein (betaCN), obtained by plasmin hydrolysis and fractionation of the hydrolysate, were isolated and identified on the basis of their masses determined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, the primary structure of the intact protein, and the known specificity of the enzyme. An amphipathic peptide fraction was fractionated further by ion-exchange chromatography and subsequent hydrophobic interaction chromatography resulting in the components betaCN[f 1-105/107] and betaCN[f 29-105/107]. The latter peptides had poor emulsion-stabilizing properties compared to the former ones, and the stability of an emulsion formed with betaCN[f 29-105/107] was also more sensitive to hydrophobic impurities than that of an emulsion formed with betaCN[f 1-105/107]. The highly charged N-terminal part appeared to be important for the emulsion-stabilizing properties of these peptides. A hypothesis for the structure-function relationship is given.

Nucleation and growth of sparingly soluble salts, referred to as scaling, has posed substantial challenges in industrial processes that deal with multiphase flows, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR). During crude oil extraction/recovery, seawater is injected into oil reservoirs and yields water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions that may undergo calcium carbonate (CaCO) scaling. Common antiscaling macromolecules and nanoparticles have adverse environmental impacts and/or are limited to functioning only in single-phase aqueous media.

Curdlan, a natural polysaccharide, exhibits emulsion-stabilizing and viscosity-modifying properties. However, when employed solely in the aqueous phase, curdlan's adhesive nature impedes droplet dispersion, resulting in a gel-like structure with limited applicability. This investigation formulated a biphasic stabilized oil-in-water emulsion by supplementing the oil phase with beeswax and the aqueous phase with curdlan and soy protein isolate (SPI).

Fermentation of pulses as a clean processing technique has been reported to have a favorable impact on the functional and nutritional quality of the starting materials. Compared to commonly fermented pulses such as peas and chickpeas, limited information is available on the effect of fermentation on lentils, especially when using a high protein isolate (>80% protein) as compared to seeds or flours. Therefore, in the present work, lentil protein isolate was used as a feedstock for submerged fermentation with Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, or Lactobacillus plantarum.

Elucidation on the emulsifying behaviors of goose liver protein (GLP) from interfacial perspective was scarce when protein charging was altered. This work aimed to elucidate the role of phosphorylation on the interfacial associative interaction and then emulsion stabilizing properties of GLP using three structurally relevant phosphates of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP), sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and sodium pyrophosphate (TSPP). A monotonic increment of protein charging treated from STMP, STPP to TSPP caused progressively increased particle de-aggregation, surface hydrophobicity and structural flexibility of GLP.

Arabinoxylan derived from brewers' spent grain was carboxymethylated, and the emulsifying capacity of carboxymethylated arabinoxylans (CMAX) with different degrees of substitution (DS) was investigated. Results showed that carboxymethylation greatly enhanced the emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability of CMAX compared to the initial arabinoxylan. CMAX developed decreased ζ-potential, higher hydrophilicity, and improved interfacial adsorption capacity.
