High Internal Phase Emulsions Based on Natural Biomacromolecules and Their Application in Foods
High internal phase emulsions(HIPEs)are characterized by high viscoelasticity,high stability,and excellent texture,which has driven their extensive exploration and application in the fields of food,medicine,materials,and cosmetics.Natural biomacromolecules are widely used to stabilize HIPEs because of their safety,environmental friendliness and biocompatibility.This paper reviewed the preparation methods of stabilized HIPEs of natural biomacromolecules,types of emulsifiers,and their applications in food fields such as encapsulation and delivery of nutrients,embedding of probiotics,as substitutes for saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids,3D printing and preparation of porous materials in recent years,and provided an outlook on the future direction of the research,laying a theoretical foundation for the subsequent in-depth research,with aim of promoting further development and application in food.
