Effects of Shearing and Freeze-thaw on Pickering Emulsion Stability
Pickering emulsions are new types of emulsions that use solid particles instead of traditional surfactants.Com-pared to conventional emulsions,they have the advantages of high stability,environmental friendliness and safety.Picker-ing emulsions are currently used in a wide range of food applications,such as in sauces that extend shelf life by freez-ing,in creams,or in ice creams where freezing is an essential process.Shearing and freeze-thawing are important for the application of Pickering emulsion stability.Shearing is a key process in emulsion preparation,and freeze-thawing oc-curs during product transportation and storage,both of which affect the stability of Pickering emulsions and thus the product quality.This paper summarized the influence of shear mode and freeze-thaw on the stability of Pickering emul-sions and the methods to improve their freeze-thaw stability,aiming to improve the quality of frozen food and expand the application of freeze-thaw stability of Pickering emulsions.
