In this study, a novel dextrin-based micelle (OSAD-SH), dual-modified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) and cysteamine, was developed to address the acid instability issues of micelle modified only by OSA and designed for curcumin delivery. Three amphiphilic OSAD-SH polymers with different free sulfhydryl content were first synthesized. The study demonstrated that OSAD-SH micelles exhibited strong self-assembly properties, appearing as spheres with diameters ranging from 92.41 to 194.20 nm. Blank micelles showed good dilution resistance, as well as stability against acid, thermal, and ionic strength. The curcumin encapsulated by the micelles was in an amorphous state. In vitro release experiment demonstrated that curcumin released from OSAD-SH micelles exhibited pH responsiveness. The Ritger-Peppas model effectively predicted the release behavior of curcumin, which followed a super case-II transport. The OSAD-SH micelle will be a promising nanocarrier for improving the physicochemical properties of curcumin in food fields.

Protein-polysaccharide complex carrier can solve the problem of insufficient stability of Monascus pigments (MPs), a kind of natural pigments, against heat and light. It also has the function to stabilize Pickering emulsion (PE) that can be used as fat replacer in meat products. In this study, heat denatured whey protein (HWP) and pectin modified by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA-pectin) were prepared into complex by adding Ca loaded with MPs.

Background: Pickering emulsions prepared with octenyl succinic anhydride-modified starch (OSAS) show significant promise as replacements for animal fat. However, the underlying mechanism of incorporating an OSAS-based Pickering emulsion into a myofibrillar protein (MP) gel and its impact on the gel properties remain poorly understood. In this study, the effects of OSAS at varying concentrations (0-10.

This work examined the effects of molecular weight (2-15 kDa) and concentration (10-30 mg/mL) of chitosan (CTS) on the binding capacity and interface behavior between octenyl succinic acid sodium starch (OSS) and CTS, as well as their effects on the storage stability of emulsions. The results of the isothermal calorimetry titration demonstrated that OSS and CTS were complexed by electrostatic interaction and spontaneous hydrogen bonding driven by enthalpy (ΔH from -3931 to -7983 cal/mol, ΔS from -38.5 to -49.

Phloretin (PHT) is a natural functional compound with antioxidant properties. However, its poor water solubility and high sensitivity to extreme pH environments, oxygen, and high temperatures limit its absorption and stability. Therefore, in this study, amorphous octenyl succinic anhydride starch (AOS) was employed to enhance the stability of PHT-loaded emulsions, and characteristics of these emulsions were evaluated.

Commercial DHA-rich algal oil has some issues, such as an unpleasant odor and susceptibility to oxidation. The main fishy odor compounds in commercial DHA-rich algal oil powder and DHA-rich algal oil microcapsules are hexanal and (E, E)-2,4-heptadienal. To address this issue, a microencapsulation process was designed for DHA-rich algal oil using infant rice powder (IRP), maltodextrin (MD), and whey protein concentrate (WPC) as wall materials, with sodium starch octenyl succinate (SSOS) and monoacylglycerol (MAC) as emulsifiers.
