Abstract
This study was oriented towards the impacts of unique interfacial networks, formed by glycosylated and non-glycosylated egg white proteins, on the characteristics of high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs). Glycosylated egg white protein particles (EWPG) manifested a more compact protein tertiary structure and amplified surface hydrophobicity, forming durable coral-like networks at the oil-water interface. The non-glycosylated egg white protein particles (EWP) could form spherical cluster interfacial networks. Raman spectroscopy analysis illuminated that EWPG could exhibit better interactions with aliphatic amino acids via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. The release of free fatty acid (FFA) from both HIPPEs followed the first-order kinetic model with a combination of diffusion. EWPG-stabilized HIPPEs demonstrated superior physical stability and cellular antioxidant activity. This research shed light on the promising prospects of HIPPEs as promising amphiphilic delivery systems with capabilities to co-deliver hydrophilic and hydrophobic nutraceuticals and amplify their intracellular biological potency.
