Preparation of Pickering emulsion with cassava starch nanoparticles and its stability studies
Pickering emulsion stabilized by cassava starch nanoparticles,the creaming index,storage sta-bility,grain size distribution and rheological properties as index.The influence of starch nanoparticle,ions strength,temperature and pH on emulsion properties were investigated.The results showed that at 7.5%of starch nanoparticles,the comprehensive properties of emulsion were better than that of control samples.The droplet size distribution of emulsion was relatively uniform,and there was no layering phenomenon af-ter 30 d of stored at room temperature.The smallest droplet size of emulsion was 115.30 nm,while the e-mulsion viscosity,storage and loss modulus reached the peak,and the emulsion appeared gelatinous.In this condition,emulsion exhibited strong resistance to salt ions,and the optimal storage temperature and pH were 25~70 ℃,2.00~6.00,respectively.
