Abstract
Aims To evaluate the potential applications of soy protein–glucan–catechin (SGC) complexes prepared with different ultrasound times in stabilising high internal phase Pickering emulsion (HIPPE) and delivering curcumin. Methods The SGC complexes were characterised by particle size, morphology, zeta potential, Fourier transform infra-red, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Formation and stability of curcumin emulsions were monitored by droplet size, microstructure, rheological property, lipid oxidation, and in vitro digestion. Results Short-time ultrasound-induced complexes (SGC-U15) exhibited a small size and wettability of ∼82.5°. The chemical stability and bioaccessibility of curcumin was greatly improved by SGC-U15-stabilised HIPPEs, even after 70 days of storage, heating at 100 °C for 30 min, ultraviolet irradiation for 120 min, and in vitro digestion, owing to the formation of elastic gel-like structure at the oil/water interfaces. Conclusion Our findings may contribute to the design of emulsion-based delivery systems using ultrasound-induced protein–polysaccharide–polyphenol complexes.
