This Review focused on the recent progress in using plant-based polymers and particles for stabilizing Pickering and non-Pickering emulsion systems. It discussed how the source, modification, and formulation of cellulose, starch, protein, and lignin-based polymers and particles affect their emulsion stabilization, as well as the material synthesis and effects on oil/water systems and oil droplet structures. The wide range of applications and future perspectives of plant-based stabilizers in different technologies were also described.
The main scope of this Review was the recent progress in the use of plant-based polymers and particles for the stabilization of Pickering and non-Pickering emulsion systems. Due to their availability and promising performance, it was discussed how the source, modification, and formulation of cellulose, starch, protein, and lignin-based polymers and particles would impact their emulsion stabilization. Special attention was given toward the material synthesis in two forms of polymeric surfactants and particles and the corresponding formulated emulsions. Also, the effects of particle size, degree of aggregation, wettability, degree of substitution, and electrical charge in stabilizing oil/water systems and micro- and macro-structures of oil droplets were discussed. The wide range of applications using such plant-based stabilizers in different technologies as well as their challenge and future perspectives were described.
