Abstract

In recent years, Pickering emulsions have been the focus of growing interest because of their possible role as alternatives to conventional emulsions. Some reviews have investigated the physical stability of Pickering emulsions, but the oxidative stability of these emulsions remains largely unexplored. In this review, the oxidation mechanism and factors affecting lipid oxidation rates in Pickering emulsions are discussed. Then, different food-grade solid particles are evaluated for their ability to stabilize Pickering emulsions. Finally, several strategies are reviewed for improving the oxidative stability of Pickering emulsions. These strategies are based on efforts to manipulate the physical and chemical properties of the interfacial layer, increase the concentration of antioxidants at the interfacial layer through incorporating them into solid particles, cause oil droplets to crowd at high packing fractions, trap oil droplets in a gel network and increase the viscosity of the continuous phase.
