This study aimed to develop a new type of eggshell powder (EP) emulsion gels for improving the antioxidant ability and sustained release effect of lavender essential oil (LEO). The effects of EP addition on the physicochemical, structural properties, oxidative stability, and sustained-release performance of the emulsion gels were investigated. The results showed that with the increase of EP addition (0-1 %), the gel strength initially increased and then decreased. The emulsion gel with 1 % EP had better freeze-thaw stability (36.77 %), thermal stability (78.63 °C), and water holding capacity (96.57 %). Moreover, the micromorphology results indicated that the EP-ovalbumin (OVA)-konjac glucomannan (KGM) complex showed a connected filamentous network structure, and the emulsion gel with 1 % EP addition had the most uniform and densest network structure. Furthermore, the EP emulsion gel had the highest free sulfhydryl content and hydrophobic interaction, and LEO exhibited the best antioxidant and sustained-release properties at this time. In conclusion, the findings demonstrated the potential of eggshell powder to enhance emulsion gel stability, which could improve the high-value utilization of egg by-products.

Strawberry fruits are highly perishable and have a limited shelf life. Therefore, effective methods such as essential oils (EOs) and edible coatings are required to mitigate spoilage and maintain fruit quality during storage. In the current study, Echinophora platyloba EO was extracted and subsequently formulated into a nanoemulsion.

Using of low-fat emulsion gels stabilized by quinoa protein (QP) for 3D food printing was limited by their defective rheological properties. The study was to explore the feasibility of using fucoidan (FU) to improve the printability and curcumin encapsulation stability of QP emulsion gel. The gels with 0.

High dietary fat food such as mayonnaise (70-80% oil content) can induce obesity and cardiovascular diseases, thus reducing their oil content is required. However, the development of low-fat mayonnaise is still a big challenge since reducing oil content will increase the fluidity, induce phase separation and decrease the stability of mayonnaise. Herein, we provide a novel strategy for developing yolk-casein-based low-fat mayonnaise (30% oil content) with a similar texture to commercial high-fat mayonnaise through post-acidification.

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.
