三种乳化剂对橄榄油乳液稳定性的影响

乳化剂因亲水亲油平衡值的不同对油脂乳化效果表现出固有的差异,但这种差异会因加入辅助剂的影响而发生改变。以非离子型表面活性剂单甘酯、蔗糖酯和吐温20为乳化剂,以白果直链淀粉及阿拉伯胶(质量比1∶1)为辅助剂,对橄榄油进行乳化,考察了辅助剂加入前后在不同制备方法(先油后水和先水后油工艺)和乳化剂添加量下乳液的稳定性。结果表明:单独使用乳化剂时,经外观观察,在三种乳化剂添加量相同时,吐温20的橄榄油乳液稳定性较好,其次为蔗糖酯、单甘酯;加入辅助剂后,乳液的乳化状态较单一加入乳化剂的好,乳液黏度、粒径和浑浊度均随着乳化剂添加量的增大呈先减小后增加趋势,且在相同添加量下,由蔗糖酯制备的橄榄油乳液黏度较低,粒径和浑浊度较小,稳定性较好,吐温20及单甘酯次之;辅助剂加入前后,先油后水工艺制备的橄榄油乳液的稳定性总体优于先水后油工艺的。     

OPTIMIZATION OF EMULSIFICATION AND MICROENCAPSULATION OF EVENING PRIMROSE OIL AND ITS OXIDATIVE STABILITY DURING STORAGE BY RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY

ABSTRACT

Microencapsulation is a technique by which small droplets of liquid or solid particles are coated with a thin film of wall materials to protect susceptible ingredients in food products to assure their quality or effectiveness. Microencapsulation of liquid lipid into powdery matrixes of wall materials includes two unit operations: emulsification of the lipid with an aqueous solution of wall material and drying of the emulsion. The effects of hydrophile–lipophile balance (HLB) value, emulsifier content and oil content on the evening primrose oil‐in‐water emulsion stability were studied by response surface methodology (RSM). The HLB value, emulsifier content and oil content all had significant effects on the emulsion stability (P < 0.05). Of them, the HLB value and emulsifier content contributed more effects than the oil content. The optimized HLB value, emulsifier content and oil content were used to mix with wall materials: gum arabic (GA), maltodextrin (MD) and/or sodium caseinate (NaC). The oil was encapsulated with these materials individually or in combination by spray‐drying, and their oxidative stability during storage was compared. The microcapsules with a single wall material were relatively susceptible to oxidation than those with multiple wall materials. The most desirable composition of the mixture of GA, MD and NaC by RSM was 17.2, 75 and 7.8%, respectively.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Response surface methodology (RSM) provided a valuable means to help us understand the relative or interactive effects of three important parameters: HLB value, emulsifier content and oil content on the emulsion stability of the oil‐in‐water (o/w) system. The information obtained would be useful for the preparation of similar o/w emulsion system as needed in some product development for foods. In addition, the effects of gum arabic, maltodextrin and sodium caseinate on the oxidative stability of microencapsulated oil were also studied by RSM. The results revealed the relative or interactive effects of these materials and gave the optimal conditions in minimizing the oxidative instability in this study. Since these wall materials are readily available and widely used in a variety of products, the information provided by this study would be useful for product‐developing professionals to use these materials more efficiently in terms of obtaining optimal microencapsulated products against lipid oxidation and cost effectiveness.

Formulation effects of topical emulsions on transdermal and dermal delivery

It has been recognized that the vehicle in which a permeant is applied to the skin has a distinctive effect on the dermal and transdermal delivery of active ingredients. The cutaneous and percutaneous absorptions can be enhanced, e.g. by an increase in thermodynamic activity, supersaturation and penetration modifiers. Furthermore, dermal and transdermal delivery can be influenced by the interactions that may occur between the vehicle and the skin on the one hand, and interactions between the active ingredient and the skin on the other hand. Emulsions are widely used as cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations because of their excellent solubilizing capacities for lipophilic and hydrophilic active ingredients and application acceptability. This review focuses, in particular, on the effect of emulsions on the dermal and transdermal delivery of active ingredients. It is shown that the type of emulsion (w/o vs. o/w emulsion), the droplet size, the emollient, the emulsifier as well as the surfactant organization (micelles, lyotropic liquid crystals) in the emulsion may affect the cutaneous and percutaneous absorption. Examples substantiate the fact that emulsion constituents such as emollients and emulsifiers should be selected carefully for optimal efficiency of the formulation. Moreover, to understand the influence of emulsion on dermal and transdermal delivery, the physicochemical properties of the formulation after application are considered.     

Emulsification by the phase inversion temperature method: the role of self-bodying agents and the influence of oil polarity

Oil-in-water emulsions stabilized with nonionic emulsifiers change to water-in-oil emulsions as the temperature rises when the hydrophilic and lipophilic properties of the mixed emulsifier are just balanced. Preparation above the phase inversion temperature followed by rapid cooling yields emulsions that exhibit very fine droplet size and extreme long-term stability. Cosmetic emulsions were prepared by this phase inversion temperature (PIT) method using typical raw materials such as polar oils, e.g. decyl oleate, 2-octyl dodecanol or isopropyl myristate, and nonionic emulsifiers, e.g. ceteareth-12 or polyoxyethylene eicosyl/docosyl ether combined with cetostearyl alcohol as a co-emulsifier. The phase inversion temperature was measured as a function of the oil polarity and the concentration of mixed emulsifier. The relationship between phase inversion temperature, droplet size and emulsion stability was investigated. In addition, self-bodying agents such as cetostearyl alcohol or monoglycerides were added to these thin, fine disperse emulsions to adjust the consistency. The influence of these ingredients on phase inversion temperature, droplet size, yield value and emulsion stability was studied.

Iron-Catalyzed Oxidation of Menhaden Oil as Affected by Emulsifiers

The ability of Tween 20 and whey protein isolate (WPI) to influence lipid oxidation was investigated by evaluating the effects of emulsifier concentration and physical location on iron-catalyzed oxidation of emulsified Menhaden oil. Addition of Tween 20 or WPI to the aqueous phase of a 0.5 wt% Tween 20 stabilized emulsion increased lipid oxidation as determined by both thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and lipid peroxides. Tween 20 (2.0 wt%) and WPI (0.05–1.0 wt%) combinations inhibited TBARS formation 23–60%. Oxidation of a WPI-stabilized emulsion decreased with decreasing pH (3–7) but in a Tween 20 stabilized emulsion oxidation increased with decreasing pH. The low oxidation rate for the WPI-stabilized emulsion at pH 3 was increased when Tween 20 displaced WPI from the droplet interface. Results indicate that the oxidative stability of emulsifed Menhaden oil could be increased by controlling emulsifier type, location and concentration.

Allergic and toxic reactions caused by cream bases in dermatological patients

Irritant and allergic reactions from cream bases observed in eczema patients are reviewed. The frequency of allergic reactions to the ingredients of vehicles in eczema patients is an indication of allergic potential for normal skin. Against this background, hypoallergenic fragrances are still very difficult to produce and a proper mixture for epicutaneous testing is lacking. Among preservatives, parabens are obviously safer and less allergenic than chlorocresol and sorbic acid. Propylene glycol (PG) is very popular for its many beneficial properties. However, it is also an irritant and a sensitiser. The exact number of allergic delayed type reactions is difficult to establish because primary irritant epicutaneous test reactions often closely resemble allergic reactions. By doing epicutaneous tests with serial dilutions of PG and by making peroral challenge tests, the number of eczema patients allergic to PG has been estimated to be as high as 1%. Glycerol is much less active in producing toxic and allergic skin reactions. Common non-ionic emulsifiers and higher fatty alcohols cause allergic contact dermatitis occasionally. The allergenic properties of these substances have not yet been examined experimentally. It seems, however, that there are only small differences between the various emulsifying agents.

Physical stability of emulsion encapsulated in alginate microgel particles by the impinging aerosol technique

Emulsion filled alginate microgel particles can be applied as carrier systems for lipophilic actives in pharmaceutical and food formulations. In this study, the effects of oil concentration, emulsifier type and oil droplet size on the physical stability of emulsions encapsulated in calcium alginate microgel particles (20–80 μm) produced by a continuous impinging aerosol technique were studied. Oil emulsions emulsified by using either sodium caseinate (SCN) or Tween 80 were encapsulated at different oil concentrations (32.55, 66.66 and 76.68% w/w of total solids content). The emulsions were analysed before and after encapsulation for changes in emulsion size distribution during storage, and compared to unencapsulated emulsions. The size distribution of encapsulated fine emulsion (mean size ~ 0.20 μm) shifted to a larger size distribution range during encapsulation possibly due to the contraction effect of the microgel particles. Coarse emulsion droplets (mean size ~ 18 μm) underwent a size reduction during encapsulation due to the shearing effect of the atomizing nozzle. However, no further size changes in the encapsulated emulsion were detected over four weeks. The type of emulsifier used and emulsion concentration did not significantly affect the emulsion stability. The results suggest that the rigid gel matrix is an effective method for stabilising lipid emulsions and can be used as a carrier for functional ingredients.     

Optimization of nano-emulsions production by microfluidization

The purpose of this study was to produce an oil-in-water nano-emulsion with different compositions of the continuous and dispersed phases through microfluidization. The aqueous phase was a solution of maltodextrin with five different emulsifying ingredients including modified starch (Capsul and Hi-Cap), sodium caseinate (SC), whey protein hydrolysate (WPH), or whey protein concentrate (WPC), while the oil phase consisted of d-limonene or fish oil. Results showed that micofluidizer was capable of producing nano-emulsions (D32 as small as 150 nm) with a narrow size distribution. Generally, moderate microfluidization pressures (42–63 MPa) and cycles (1–2) were the optimum conditions beyond which, there were adverse changes in the emulsion size. For the two oils tested as the dispersed phase, fish oil emulsions had lower Sauter mean diameters (D32) but with wider size distributions than d-limonene. When different emulsifying ingredients were compared, Hi-Cap produced nano-emulsions with the narrowest distribution but highest D32 (about 600 nm). Nano-emulsions with WPC had the smallest D32 (about 200 nm) but the widest size distribution. It was found that a d-limonene volume fraction of 0.10 was the optimum dispersed-phase concentration in terms of emulsion droplet size (D32). Also, adding a surfactant (Tween 20) helped to reduce the emulsion size significantly during microfluidization, but it lead to extensive flocculation of emulsion droplets because of surfactant–biopolymer interactions and emulsifier displacement.     

Influence of the emulsion components and preparation method on the laboratory‐scale preparation of o/w emulsions containing different types of dispersed phases and/or emulsifiers

Emulsification is a complex process, strongly influenced by emulsion composition as well as by preparation procedure, and the characterisation of emulsions with regard to their structure and stability can be carried out with many different methods. To evaluate the influences of emulsion composition and preparation procedure on the structure and properties, oil‐in‐water emulsions were prepared using the model dispersed phase dodecane and the surfactant Tween on the one hand and the real food components sunflower oil (dispersed phase) and casein (emulsifier) on the other hand. The emulsions were prepared in a small laboratory‐scale with a turbo‐mixer alone and in combination with ultrasonic treatment. The emulsion activity was measured by photometry, the emulsion stability was evaluated visually and the droplet size was determined by laser particle analysis. The results of the investigations made with the model substances agreed only partly with those made with the real food substances. For the model emulsions strong correlation were found between the emulsion activity and the particle sizer data because of the high purity and the defined structure of the model substances. On the contrary, for the emulsions made with the real food components sunflower oil and sodium caseinate the correlation were much weaker. Therefore, a proper characterisation of the structure and properties of food emulsions requires examinations with several methods which are independent from each other. Furthermore, for laboratory‐scale emulsification the combination of turbo‐mixer and ultrasonic treatment is suitable to obtain small droplets and a narrow droplet distribution also for very small emulsion volumes.     

Stability of Anthocyanin‐Rich W/O/W‐Emulsions Designed for Intestinal Release in Gastrointestinal Environment

Abstract: Anthocyanins belong to the most important hydrophilic plant pigments. Outside their natural environment, these molecules are extremely unstable. Encapsulating them in submicron‐sized containers is one possibility to stabilize them for the use in bioactivity studies or functional foods. The containers have to be designed for a target release in the human gastrointestinal system. In this contribution, an anthocyanin‐rich bilberry extract was encapsulated in the inner aqueous phase of water‐in‐oil‐in‐water‐double emulsions. The physical stability as well as the release of free fatty acids and encapsulated, bioactive substances from the emulsions during an in vitro gastrointestinal passage were investigated. The focus was on the influence of emulsion microstructural parameters (for example, inner and outer droplet size, disperse phase content) and required additives (emulsifier systems), respectively. It could be shown that it is possible to stabilize anthocyanins in the inner phase of double emulsions. The release rate of free fatty acids during incubation was independent of the emulsifier used. However, the exterior (O/W)‐emulsifier has an impact on the stability of multiple emulsions in gastrointestinal environment and, thus, the location of release. Long‐chained emulsifiers like whey proteins are most suitable to transport a maximum amount of bioactive substances to the effective location, being the small intestine for anthocyanins. In addition, it was shown that the dominating release mechanism for entrapped matter was coalescence of the interior W₁‐droplets with the surrounding W₂‐phase. Practical Application: Microencapsulation of phytochemicals and bioactives is in the focus of functional food development. Here, the influence of matrix material, formulation, and structural parameters on stabilization and release of the molecules encapsulated has to be known for target product and process design. As the results are representative for hydrophilic active ingredients encapsulated in double emulsion systems a cross‐sectoral use in the pharmaceutical sector is possible.     

Food emulsions as delivery systems for flavor compounds: A review

Food flavor is an important attribute of quality food, and it largely determines consumer food preference. Many food products exist as emulsions or experience emulsification during processing, and therefore, a good understanding of flavor release from emulsions is essential to design food with desirable flavor characteristics. Emulsions are biphasic systems, where flavor compounds are partitioning into different phases, and the releases can be modulated through different ways. Emulsion ingredients, such as oils, emulsifiers, thickening agents, can interact with flavor compounds, thus modifying the thermodynamic behavior of flavor compounds. Emulsion structures, including droplet size and size distribution, viscosity, interface thickness, etc., can influence flavor component partition and their diffusion in the emulsions, resulting in different release kinetics. When emulsions are consumed in the mouth, both emulsion ingredients and structures undergo significant changes, resulting in different flavor perception. Special design of emulsion structures in the water phase, oil phase, and interface provides emulsions with great potential as delivery systems to control flavor release in wider applications. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of flavor release from emulsions, and how emulsions can behave as delivery systems for flavor compounds to better design novel food products with enhanced sensorial and nutritional attributes.

Influence of the emulsion components and preparation method on the laboratory-scale preparation of o/w emulsions containing different types of dispersed phases and/or emulsifiers

Emulsification is a complex process, strongly influenced by emulsion composition as well as by preparation procedure, and the characterisation of emulsions with regard to their structure and stability can be carried out with many different methods. To evaluate the influences of emulsion composition and preparation procedure on the structure and properties, oil-in-water emulsions were prepared using the model dispersed phase dodecane and the surfactant Tween on the one hand and the real food components sunflower oil (dispersed phase) and casein (emulsifier) on the other hand. The emulsions were prepared in a small laboratory-scale with a turbo-mixer alone and in combination with ultrasonic treatment. The emulsion activity was measured by photometry, the emulsion stability was evaluated visually and the droplet size was determined by laser particle analysis. The results of the investigations made with the model substances agree only partly with those made with the real food substances. For the model emulsions strong correlation were found between the emulsion activity and the particle sizer data because of the high purity and the defined structure of the model substances. On the contrary, for the emulsions made with the real food components sunflower oil and sodium caseinate the correlation were much weaker. Therefore a proper characterisation of the structure and properties of food emulsions requires examinations with several methods which are independent from each other. Furthermore, for laboratory-scale emulsification the combination of turbo-mixer and ultrasonic treatment is suitable to obtain small droplets and a narrow droplet distribution also for very small emulsion volumes.
