Standardised recommendations for a physiologically relevant, semi-dynamic <italic>in vitro</italic> simulation of upper GI tract digestion.
Emulsions stabilized by soft whey protein microgel particles have gained research interest due to their combined advantages of biocompatibility and a high degree resistance coalescence. We designed Pickering oil-in-water emulsions using microgels facile route heat-set gel formation followed mechanical shear studied the influence heat treatment on these particles. The aim this study was compare barrier properties heat-treated fused at oil-water interface in delaying digestion emulsified...
Oral lubrication deals with one of the most intricate examples biotribology, where surfaces under sliding conditions span from hardest enamel to soft oral tissues in human physiology. Complexity further arises being covered by an endogenous biolubricant saliva before exogenous food particles can wet, stick, or slip at surfaces. In this review, we present a description surfaces, comparing them recent approaches that have been used study using vitro ex vivo setups. Specifically, behaviors and...
Understanding the mechanisms of food digestion is paramount importance to determine effect foods have on human health. Significant knowledge fate during has been generated in healthy adults due development physiologically-relevant vitro models. However, it appears that performance oro-gastrointestinal tract affected by ageing and a model simulating digestive conditions found younger adult (<65 years) not relevant for an older (>65 years). The objectives present paper were: (1) conduct...
Colloidal particles have garnered considerable research attention in recent times for fabrication of Pickering emulsions because their distinctive ultra-stabilization properties comparison to conventional emulsion stabilizers. Significant progress has been made designing novel hybrid particles, i.e., a combination two or more materials comprising the tailoring stability as well other functionalities that are not achievable with single particle-laden interfaces. We aim provide critical survey...
Long term stabilization of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions remains a particularly challenging problem in colloid science. Recent studies have shown that polyphenols act as Pickering stabilizers at the water-oil interface. In this work we propose novel way to stabilize water droplets via interfacial complex formation. It was observed polyphenol crystals (curcumin or quercetin) absorb interface and provide for several days; however formation polyphenol- whey protein (WPI) revealed pronounced...
This study aims to investigate the relationship between rheological and tribological properties of commercial full fat fat-free/low versions liquid soft solid colloidal systems (milk, yoghurt, cream cheese) with their sensory properties.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in Pickering emulsions because the recognition unique high steric stabilization provided by particles at interfaces. This is particularly keen for water-in-oil (W/O) limited range suitable stabilizers available. We demonstrate first time that W/O can be stabilized using crystals from naturally occurring polyphenols (curcumin and quercetin particles). These were assessed based on their size, microstructure, contact angle, interfacial...
