摘要

The influence of the kappa-carrageenan concentration and pH on the properties of oil-in-water multilayered emulsions was studied. Multilayered emulsions were prepared by the mixture of a primary emulsion stabilized by 0.5% (w/v) sodium caseinate (Na-CN) with kappa-carrageenan solutions with different concentrations (0.05-1% w/v). The emulsions were evaluated at pH 7 and 3.5. At pH 7, there was little adsorption of kappa-carrageenan onto the droplet surface and a depletion flocculation was observed when the polysaccharide concentration exceeded 0.5% (w/v). At pH 3.5, a mixed kappa-carrageenan-Na-CN second layer was formed around the protein-covered droplets and the emulsions showed bridging flocculation at lower polysaccharide concentrations (0.05-0.25% w/v). Stable emulsions could be formed with the highest kappa-carrageenan concentration (1% w/v) at both pH values (7.0 and 3.5). Thus, stable emulsions were successfully produced using protein-polysaccharide interfacial complexes, and the oil droplet diameter, zeta potential and rheological properties of these emulsions were not affected by changes in the pH.
