Water-in-Oil Pickering Emulsions Stabilized by Hydrophobized Protein Microspheres

Water-in-oil (w/o) Pickering emulsions have gained considerable attention in colloid science and daily applications. However, for the formation of w/o emulsions, especially those with high internal water content, the particulate stabilizers are required to be sufficiently hydrophobic, and synthetic...

Zusammenfassung:Water-in-oil (w/o) Pickering emulsions have gained considerable attention in colloid science and daily applications. However, for the formation of w/o emulsions, especially those with high internal water content, the particulate stabilizers are required to be sufficiently hydrophobic, and synthetic or chemically modified particles have been mostly reported until now, which are not biocompatible and sustainable. We present a zein protein-based microsphere derived from the Pickering emulsion template, in which protein microspheres are feasibly in situ hydrophobized by silica nanoparticles, enabling the stabilization of w/o Pickering emulsions. The effects of microsphere concentration, water/oil volume ratio, oil types, and pH on the stabilization of prepared w/o emulsions are systematically studied, revealing prominent characteristics of the controllable size, high water fraction, universal adaptation of oils, as well as broad pH stability. As a demonstration, the Pickering emulsion effectively encapsulates vitamin C and shows high stability for long storage duration against ultraviolet radiation/heat. Therefore, this novel proteinaceous particle-stabilized w/o Pickering emulsion has great potential in the delivery and protection of water-soluble bioactive substrates
