Abstract:
The purpose of this work was to prepare Pickering emulsion stabilized by bacteriostatic whey protein isolate-vanillin (WPI-Van) nanoparticles as a carrier for encapsulating vitamin E. The particle size, ζ potential, PDI were used to study the optimal preparation conditions of nanoparticles. The results showed that the optimal preparation condition was achieved at WPI/Van mass ratio of 3:1. FTIR spectra demonstrated the complexation of WPI and Van. SEM image showed spherical and slightly rough surface of nanoparticles. Inhibitory effects of nanoparticles on E. coli and S. aureus were also observed. After storage of 21 days at 4 °C, the retention rate of vitamin E in the emulsions remained 43% higher than that of unencapsulated vitamin E. Moreover, the release rate of vitamin E encapsulated in emulsions in the small intestine was 81%, indicating excellent bioaccessibility. The research can provide a new insight for production and application of antibacterial Pickering emulsions.
