This work investigates the interaction between cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and sugar beet pectin (SBP) and their performance in emulsion stabilization. It was found that SBP irreversibly adsorbs onto the CNC surface, mainly driven by hydrophobic interactions. A synergistic emulsification performance was observed with a mixture of SBP-coated CNC and free SBP, leading to smaller emulsion droplets. These findings provide a convenient way to modulate the emulsifying properties of CNC by changing the compositional formulation.
Commercial emulsions are usually stabilized by multi-component formulations, such as particle and biopolymer, rather than single emulsifiers. However, their interactions and contributions to emulsification are complicated and lack elucidations. This work investigates the interaction between cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and sugar beet pectin (SBP) and their performance in emulsion stabilization. The irreversible adsorption of SBP onto the CNC surface was verified by Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D) and atomic force microscopy. The molecular structure-based adsorption mechanism was elucidated by the enzymatic hydrolysis technique, revealing that the neutral sugar side chains (rich in protein and ferulic acid) were the main adsorbable com-ponents of SBP, which was predominately driven by hydrophobic interactions. At the CNC: SBP ratio of 3:1, the mixture of SBP-coated CNC and free SBP showed synergistic emulsification performance. The incorporation of CNC significantly improved the anchoring rate of SBP at the oil-water interface during emulsification to produce smaller emulsion droplets. The hybrid coverage of SBP-coated CNC and free SBP endowed the droplets with more robust repulsion to maintain long-term stability. These findings provide a feasible and convenient way for modulating the emulsifying properties of CNC by changing the compositional formulation.
