This work studied the effects of different concentrations of gum arabic (GA) on the interfacial adsorption kinetics of whey protein (WP) at the oil-water interface, the possibility of emulsion stabilized by WP/GA mixtures, and use of such emulsions as resveratrol delivery systems. Dynamic interface pressure measurements indicated that the change of GA concentration significantly affected the diffusion, penetration and rearrangement of WP at the oil-water interface, while measurements of hydrodynamic diameter and zeta-potential indicated electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between WP and GA. The rheological measurements of the emulsions supported the above observations and indicated that different GA concentrations affected the viscoelastic properties of the emulsion. Adding resveratrol into oil influenced the adsorption of WP at the oil-water interface, thus affecting the emulsion stability and the encapsulation efficiency of resveratrol. The emulsions stabilized by WP and WP/GA mixtures have encapsulation efficiencies of >50% for resveratrol, while emulsions showed the best stability at a GA concentration of 0.2%. These results indicate that GA could effectively improve the emulsifying capacity of WP, while the emulsions prepared by WP/GA mixtures have the potential to serve as carriers for bioactive components.

Stability and rheology of plant-derived hydrocolloid-mucin mixtures

Evdoxia Asimakopoulou, Charilaos Giotis, Ioannis I. Andreadis, Dimitrios G. Fatouros, Christos Ritzoulis

Summary: Mixtures of mucin and pectin were studied for their phase stability at different ratios and pH values. Lower pH enhanced aggregation and sedimentation of mucin, while no phase separations were observed. The particle sizes measured by dynamic light scattering correlated with the absorbance values, indicating phase separations at a few hundred nm scale. Rheological studies showed that the viscosity decreased with mucin substitution, suggesting changes in the space occupancy and self-assembled structures. Comparison with other hydrocolloids indicated similar behavior in the presence of mucin. These findings provide insights into the coexistence of food polysaccharides and mucin in oral and gastrointestinal environments.

Interactions and rheology of guar gum-mucin mixtures

Athina Theocharidou, Sylvie Lousinian, Apostolos Tsagaris, Christos Ritzoulis

Summary: This study investigates the molecular interactions between guar gum and mucin in order to understand their behavior and functionality during digestion. The results show that pH values affect the phase stability and particle size distributions of guar gum and mucin mixtures. The shear viscosity is mainly influenced by guar gum, while negative synergies are observed in the extensional viscosity when mucin coexists with guar gum.

Capturing the onset of oral processing: Merging of a model food emulsion drop with saliva

Eleni Aidonidou, Iasmi Kalathaki, Vassilis Karageorgiou, Christos Ritzoulis

Summary: The events before and during the merging of a model liquid food emulsion with saliva were observed ex vivo using confocal microscopy. Within seconds, millimeter-sized drops of liquid food and saliva come into contact, deform, and eventually collapse, resulting in the merging of the two phases, resembling coalescing emulsion droplets. The model droplets then enter saliva. Based on this, there are two distinct stages for the introduction of liquid food into the oral cavity: an initial stage where both intact phases coexist, with individual viscosities and saliva-liquid food tribology being important for texture perception; and a second stage dominated by the rheological properties of the liquid food-saliva mixture. The importance of surface properties of saliva and liquid food is highlighted as they may affect the merging of the two phases.

Yogurt Products Fortified with Microwave-Extracted Peach Polyphenols

Athina Theocharidou, Evdoxios Psomas, Antonios Koliouskas, Christos Ritzoulis

Summary: Polyphenols and pectin were obtained from peach flesh using microwave extraction, and the extracts were used to functionalize strained yogurt gels. The extraction process was optimized using a Box-Behnken design and the extracts were analyzed for soluble solid content, total phenolic content, and particle size distribution. The extracts with the highest microwave power resulted in less firm gel samples due to the loss of conformation and self-assembly of the extracted pectins.

Summary: This study investigates the emulsification capacity of aqueous extracts from white beans and explores the relationship between the composition and structure of the extracts' macromolecular components and their emulsification ability. The results suggest that proteins and smaller molecules adsorb onto oil-water interfaces, providing emulsification capacity at different pH levels. Unabsorbed polysaccharides cause depletion flocculation. The findings are supported by various analytical techniques.

Foam Stability of Mucin - Caseinate Mixtures: Relevance to Oral Processing

K. Koupa, V. Keligianni, E. P. Kalogianni, C. Ritzoulis

Summary: This study explores the formation of saliva foam and the influence of simulated foods on the foamy state. Researchers found that air bubbles and foam state in saliva may be intrinsic colloidal properties, impacting its physiological and physicochemical definition and role. The synergistic effects between mucin and food protein in foams, as well as their stability, are discussed in relation to water-air dynamic interfacial tension and confocal microscopy observations. Additionally, the study examines the replacement of mucin with caseinate in high internal gas volume fraction foams, with sodium caseinate producing thicker foams and mucin contributing to higher long-term stability. These findings are discussed in the context of the temporal evolution of foam during oral processing of foods.

Effects of aging and diabetes on the deformation mechanisms and molecular structural characteristics of collagen fibrils under daily activity

Wei-Han Hui, Yen-Lin Chen, Shu-Wei Chang

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
