In this work, Pleurotus eryngii protein-polysaccharide conjugates (PE-PPCs) were used as the only stabilizer for the preparation of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). PE-PPCs presented spherical particles in solution, and their three-phase contact angle had a strong correlation with pH values, and the angle at pH 10.0 was almost 90°, showing the most balanced hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. Subsequent tests had also confirmed that the emulsion prepared under this pH condition had the best performance. As expected, droplet size, apparent viscosity, and viscoelasticity of HIPEs stabilized by PE-PPCs were related to varying degrees with pH values, PE-PPC concentrations (c), and oil phase volume fraction (φ). Finally, the optimal conditions (pH 10.0, PE-PPCs concentration of 30 mg/mL, φ = 0.77) were obtained. Our findings in this study can be helpful for the preparation of food-grade HIPEs, and also have reference value in the field of studying the stability of protein-polysaccharide conjugates at the oil-water interface.

Soy proteins have good nutritional quality and exhibit a range of useful functional attributes, making them a viable option for replacing animal proteins in the development of more sustainable and eco-friendly plant-based food products. Nevertheless, soy proteins are prone to denaturation and/or aggregation under conditions they encounter in some food and beverage products (including certain pH, ionic, and thermal conditions), which adversely impact their functional performance. This problem can often be overcome by covalently (conjugation) or noncovalently (complexation) linking the soy proteins to polysaccharides or polyphenols, thereby expanding their application scope.

The study explored five (acidic, alkaline, heating, ionic liquid, and urea solvent) extraction methods' effects on chia seed mucilage polysaccharide (CSM), an anionic polymeric macromolecule, regarding its physicochemical properties, structure, and digestion behavior. The results showed that extraction parameters have a considerable effect on modulating CSM properties. Significant differences emerged in the predominant chemical compositions: the carbohydrates and protein content ranged from 49.

Unlabelled: In this study, lutein and lycopene were encapsulated in plant protein (faba bean protein concentrate, (FPC))-carrageenan (Car) conjugates prepared by Maillard reaction in an aqueous media. The conjugation improved encapsulation yield that reached to 82.69% and 93.
