Preparation and Properties of OSA Starch-Tannin-Chitosan Complex Pickering Emulsion
Pickering emulsion system was constructed with sodium starch octenyl succinate(OSA)-chi-tosan-tannic acid complex as stabilizer.The effects of OSA on particle size distribution,microstructure,water distribution,moisture-distribution,rheological properties and curcumin embedding effect of Picker-ing emulsion were studied.The results showed that the particle size of the emulsion decreased from 15.68 pm to 13.27 pm with the concentration of OSA starch from 2%to 10%.The particle size distribution was narrow and the particle size was uniform.The rheological results showed that the Pickering emulsion sta-bilized by OSA starch-tannin-chitosan complex formed an elastico-like structure(G'>G'')and was a pseu-doplastic fluid.The embedding rate of curcumin reached 90%,which improved the utilization rate of cur-cumin.This study provides a new idea for the design of Pickering emulsion loaded with curcumin and other lipophilic functional components.
