In the present study, a series of semisolid Oil in Water (O/W) emulsions containing different Curcumin (Cur) derivatives (Cur powder, Cur extract and Cur complexed with β-cyclodextrin) in varying concentrations, were prepared. Initially, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), microscopy, pH and viscosity measurements were performed to evaluate their stability over time. Moreover, the effect of the active cosmetic substances on the Sun Protection Factor (SPF), antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of the prepared emulsions was investigated. It was observed that emulsions containing Cur extract and Cur β-cyclodextrin complex presented great viscosity and pH stability for up to 90 days of storage contrary to the emulsions containing Cur powder which showed unstable behavior due to the formation of agglomerates. All samples presented SPF values between 2.6 and 3.2. The emulsions with Cur in all forms exhibited high antioxidant activity, whereas the emulsion containing Cur β-cyclodextrin complex presented the highest value. Despite their improved stability and antioxidant activity, the emulsions containing Cur extract and Cur-β-cyclodextrin exhibited a low percentage of antimicrobial activity against and bacteria. Instead, the emulsions containing Cur powder presented a reduction rate over 90 % against and colonies.

The objective of this study was to formulate Pickering emulsions stabilized by transglutaminase cross-linked mulberry leaf protein (TG-MLP) nanoparticles as a delivery system for curcumin (Cur) and to assess its bioaccessibility both in vivo and in vitro. The encapsulation efficiency of curcumin in high-internal-phase Pickering emulsions (HIPEs) prepared at pH 10 with a 20 mg/mL concentration of TG-MLP reached 93%. Compared to Oil-Cur, Cur-HIPEs exhibited superior antioxidant activity.

To expand the scope of application of the insoluble polysaccharide curdlan (CUR), this study modified CUR with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) and evaluated the performance of the emulsion formed from the modified CUR derivative. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis showed that properties such as the molecular structure, crystallinity, and hydrophobicity of the OSA-modified CUR (COSA) changed significantly compared with those of the original CUR, indicating that the hydroxyl group of CUR was successfully replaced by OSA. Subsequently, a stable oil-in-water emulsion system of COSA loaded with curcumin was established.

The stabilization of droplets in Pickering emulsions using solid particles has garnered significant attention through various methods. Cellulose and chitin derivatives in nature offer a sustainable source of Pickering emulsion stabilizers. In this study, medium-chain triglycerides were used as the oil phase for the preparation of emulsion.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new emulsifier using soy protein-based nanoparticles (SEP) to improve the bioavailability of curcumin loaded emulsions in the digestive system.
- The nanoparticles were created through a reaction that linked carboxyl and amino groups, resulting in improved emulsifying properties and stability of the curcumin emulsions.
- SEP emulsions showed better gastric stability and higher free fatty acid release rates, leading to significantly higher bioavailability of curcumin compared to existing formulations.
