This study aims to prepare a stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion with droplets of approximately 3-5 μm and a structured phospholipid (PL)-protein membrane that is similar to human milk fat globules. A nanoemulsion with an average droplet size of 200 nm prepared with bovine milk PL-protein, a milk fat globule membrane (MFGM)-rich ingredient, was used as an emulsifier to form an O/W emulsion with an average droplet size of 3.96 μm. Stable O/W emulsions were formed with a low concentration (1 wt %) of the MFGM-rich ingredient. The nanoemulsion was adsorbed at the oil-water interface. The O/W emulsions stored at 4 °C did not show structural damage upon 7 days of storage. The deformation or partial deformation of nanoemulsion droplets attached to lipid droplets may contribute to the physical stability of the emulsion. digestion of the O/W emulsion showed a low lipolysis degree in gastric digestion, and the final hydrolysis efficiency of the O/W emulsion was 62.74%, which is higher than that of traditional infant formula.

Bone defects are difficult to treat clinically and most often require bone grafting for repair. However, the source of autograft bone is limited, and allograft bone carries the risk of disease transmission and immune rejection. As tissue engineering technology advances, bone replacement materials are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of bone defects.

Substantial amounts of oily wastewater are inevitably generated during petroleum extraction and petrochemical production, and the effective treatment of these O/W emulsions is crucial for environmental protection and resource recovery. The development of an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and efficient demulsifier that operates effectively at low concentrations remains a significant challenge. This study introduces an eco-friendly ionic liquid demulsifier, Cotton Cellulose-Dodecylamine (CCDA), which demonstrates exceptional demulsification performance at low concentrations.

The low stability of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions greatly limits their applications. Therefore, in this study, W/O/W Pickering double emulsions (PDEs) were prepared by a two-step emulsification method using polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) and xanthan gum/lysozyme nanoparticles (XG/Ly NPs) as lipophilic and hydrophilic emulsifiers, respectively. The regulation mechanism of the performance of PDEs by XG/Ly NPs was investigated, and the ability of the system to co-encapsulate epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and β-carotene was evaluated.

Oil-in-Water Emulsions Made of Pistachio Oil: Physical and Chemical Properties and Stability.

Foods

Pistachio nuts are valued for their sensory qualities, nutritional benefits, and health-promoting properties. Pistachio oil has also gained interest for its bioactive compounds, though these are sensitive to processing and environmental stresses. While pistachio-based products are commercially available, little research has addressed the emulsifying properties of crude pistachio oil or its impact on the stability and bioactive profile of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions.

Tannin is the main naturally occurring phytochemicals in Rubus chingii Hu with poor digestive stability and low bioavailability. In this study, oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion gels encapsulating Rubus chingii Hu ellagitannins (RCHT) were fabricated and their structure, rheology, stability, in vitro digestion and in vivo metabolism were characterized. The W/O emulsion gel showed smaller particle size, better pH stability, thermal stability, centrifugal stability and storage stability.
