The aim of this study was to obtain a stable sunflower oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsion stabilized by chitosan (CS)-stearic acid (SA) nanogels and to compare the oxidative stability of the sunflower Pickering emulsion stabilized by CS-SA nanogels with sunflower oil emulsion stabilized by Tween 80. The results of the scanning electron microscopy revealed that by increasing the SA to CS ratio, the uniformity of particles was increased. Also, the results showed that the emulsions with pH of 8, SA to CS ratio of 0.5:1, and oil-to-nanogel ratio of 20:1 had the highest stability and minimum droplet size. In the following, the oxidative stability of the most favorable Pickering emulsion and the Tween 80-stabilized emulsion was evaluated and compared using the peroxide and thiobarbituric acid tests. The findings implied that the O/W emulsion stabilized by CS-SA nanogels had a higher oxidative stability than the O/W emulsion stabilized by Tween 80.

Most subunit antigens often induce suboptimal vaccination efficacy, possibly due to their low immunogenicity and limited ability to migrate to lymph nodes (LNs). Although the emergence of nanovaccine has significantly addressed these challenges, most formulations still require specific biological or chemical modifications to the carrier or antigen for efficient antigen loading. In this study, we report a Pickering emulsion-based nanovaccine that directly utilized antigens and adjuvants as stabilizers, effectively amplifying immune responses without additional physicochemical alterations.

Cinnamon essential oil has gained widespread attention in the food industry as a safe and effective preservative. However, its low water solubility and high volatility limit its application in food, making the use of natural emulsifiers for its emulsification an increasingly popular focus of research. This study focuses on the extraction of galactomannan-rich aqueous extracts from Gleditsia sinensis seeds using a low-energy, low-pollution microwave-assisted method.

In this study, oil-in-water (O/W) high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) with enhanced antioxidative properties stabilized by octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch (OSAS)/(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) mixtures were prepared. The influence of EGCG concentration (0-0.2 %, w/v), NaCl concentration (0-400 mmol/L), and temperature (25-90 °C) on the stability of the HIPEs was evaluated.

A soluble fraction of faba bean protein was conjugated with tannic acid via the free-radical grafting method using a mixture of ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Surface plasmon resonance showed a strong bonding between them, while the free amino and thiol group measurements indicated tannic acid's bonding with the amino groups and cysteine residues on the proteins. Structural analysis using intrinsic fluorescence and surface hydrophobicity demonstrated tannic acid's interaction with the aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids of the protein.
