Hydrophobically modified insoluble soybean peptide aggregates can stabilize the oil-water interface and form stable Pickering emulsion gels, with potential applications in the food industry.
In this work, a highly stable food-grade Pickering emulsion gels was successfully prepared by hydrophobically modified insoluble soybean peptide aggregates. The relationships between the surface properties of insoluble soybean peptide aggregates and Pickering emulsion gels characteristics were clarified. After modification, the insoluble soybean peptide aggregates with high surface hydrophobicity had small particle size (377 nm), near-neutral wettability (theta(o/w) = 92) and strong interfacial adsorption capability. These allowed the modified insol-uble soybean peptide aggregates to stabilize the oil-water interface and form continuous network surrounding oil droplets, leading to the formation of stable Pickering emulsion gels. Besides, Pickering emulsion gels prepared by insoluble soybean peptide aggregates with higher surface hydrophobicity had smaller droplet size and higher gel strength, and remained stable even after 60 days of storage. The findings suggest a preferable plant protein particle for the preparation of stable Pickering emulsion gels in food industry.
