Pumpkin seed oil (PSO), which is a valuable compound with high nutritional value used for the prevention of various chronic diseases, is prone to oxidation. In this work, small and uniform (su) ovalbumin (OVA) and pectin (PEC) were used to stabilize PSO in the form of an emulsion. The results showed that suOVA-PEC-PSO emulsion with a droplet size of 9.82 ± 0.05 μm was successfully self-assembled from PSO, PEC, and suOVA solution (with a droplet size of 230.13 ± 14.10 nm) treated with 300 W ultrasound, owing to the formation of a more stable interfacial film on the surface of droplets. The interfacial, rheological, emulsifying, and antioxidant properties of the suOVA-PES-PSO emulsions were excellent, owing to the synergistic effects between PEC and suOVA solution. Moreover, the physical stability of the suOVA-PEC-PSO emulsions to salt stress, a freeze-thaw cycle, and heat treatment was also increased and the oxidation of linolenic acid was notably delayed. These results have extended the food-related applications of OVA and PSO, and provide a promising foundation for further exploration of the self-assembly of composite emulsions by small and uniform proteins.  相似文献

The effect of pH on the occurrence states of peanut protein isolate (PPI) and high methoxyl pectin (HMP), and droplet breakup model of the emulsions under ultrasound were studied. Particle size distribution and scanning electron microscopy results showed that PPI-HMP existed a soluble complex at pH 5.0, had no interaction at pH 7.0, and was co-soluble at pH 9.0. Droplet breakup model results revealed that the characteristics of emulsion stabilised by PPI-HMP treated at pH 5.0 was different from that at pH 7.0 and 9.0. The average diameter of the droplet well satisfied the model. According to rheological properties, interface tension, and microstructure, the formation mechanism and characteristics of emulsion stabilised by PPI-HMP treated at pH 5.0 was different from that at pH 7.0 and pH 9.0. The research provided a reference for constructing emulsions using pH-shifted PPI-HMP under ultrasound.  相似文献

This study aimed to prepare an emulsion stabilised by an ultrasound-treated casein (CAS)-hyaluronic acid (HA) complex and to protect vitamin E during in vitro digestion. It was found that high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) treatment significantly changed the hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction and hydrophobic interaction between CAS and HA, reduced the particle size of the CAS-HA complex, increased the intermolecular electrostatic repulsion, and thus significantly improved the emulsifying properties of the CAS-HA complex. Meanwhile, the creaming index (CI) and confocal laser scanning microscopy images showed that the stability of the CAS-HA-stabilised emulsion was the best when treated at 150 W for 10 min, which could be attributed to the enhanced adsorption capacity of the CAS-HA complex at the oil–water interface and the viscosity of the formed emulsion. In vitro digestion experiments revealed that the emulsion stabilised by the ultrasound-treated CAS-HA complex had a good protective effect on vitamin E. This study is significant for the development of emulsions for the delivery of lipophilic nutrients.  相似文献

Swai-fish emulsions containing fermented soybeans (thua nao and rice-koji miso) were pressurized at 600?MPa for 20 min or heated at 72°C for 30 min. The fish batters were blended with soy protein isolate (SPI) or whey protein concentrate (WPC) to stabilize the emulsions. The processed fish emulsions were then subjected to physical, chemical and microbiological examinations. The results of gel strength and water-holding potential showed that SPI addition yielded higher impact on these properties than WPC addition, which was also confirmed by the interactions between SPI and native fish proteins depicted by electrophoregrams. The frequency profiles suggested that the heated gels had a greater storage and loss moduli than pressurized gels, while pressurized WPC set-gel displayed larger loss tangent (the predominance of viscous moiety) than those pressurized SPI set-gel. High bacteria and spore counts of B. subtilis (residual of the thua nao) were observed in both pressurized and heated fish-based emulsions.  相似文献

The effects of ultrasound on the molecular weight of apple pectin were investigated. The structure and rheological properties of the degradation products were also tentatively identified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography–Photodiode Array Detector (HPLC–PAD), Infrared spectroscopy (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Rheometer. The results indicated that the weight-average molecular weight of apple pectin decreased obviously after ultrasound treatment. The molecular weight of degradation products had a uniform and narrow distribution. Ultrasound intensity and temperature play an important role in the degradation reaction. Degradation kinetics model of apple pectin fitted to 1/Mt ? 1/M0 = kt from 5 to 45 °C. The degree of methylation of apple pectin reduced according to IR analysis when ultrasound was applied. Ultrasound treatment could not alter the primary structure of apple pectin according to the results determined by HPLC, IR and NMR. Meanwhile, the viscosity of apple pectin was 103 times as large as that of ultrasound-treated apple pectin. The ultrasound-treated apple pectin showed predominantly viscous responses (G′ < G″) over the same frequency range. The results suggested that ultrasound provided a viable alternative method for the modification of pectin.  相似文献

Power ultrasound is one means among others of mechanically producing emulsions. In spite of numerous publications on the basic principles of this technique, there is insufficient knowledge of continuous ultrasound emulsification processes and the main parameters of practical relevance. A comparison of this system with other continuous mechanical emulsifying devices is made. The effect of continuous phase viscosity on droplet disruption due to ultrasound is the subject of a more detailed investigation. Continuous phase viscosity is varied by means of water soluble stabilizers (o/w systems) and different oils (w/o systems). At constant energy density, droplet size decreases when adding stabilizers, whereas the viscosity of the oil in w/o emulsions has no effect. Qualitative investigations of the local distribution of cavitation have shown very small penetration depths of cavitation into the liquid. This emphasizes the need for improvement of apparatus design to optimize the emulsification process.  相似文献

In this study, modified citrus pectin treated with a combination of microfluidization and ultrasonication was compared to the original and ultrasonication treated pectin on hydrodynamic diameter, molecular weight, polydispersity, zeta potential, apparent viscosity, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity, scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), their emulsifying properties and encapsulation properties. Modified pectin treated with a combination of microfluidization and moderate ultrasonication (MUB) was found to have lowest hydrodynamic diameter (418 nm), molecular weight (237.69 kDa) and polydispersity (0.12), and relatively low apparent viscosity among all pectin samples. Furthermore, it showed significantly higher DPPH radical scavenging capacity than the original pectin although only slightly higher than that of ultrasonication treated one (UB). MUB showed a thin fibrous morphology and decreased degree of branching from SEM and AFM. Emulsion stabilized by MUB had highest centrifugal and thermal stability compared to emulsions stabilized by UB and the original pectin. This could be attributed to higher interfacial loading of MUB (17.90 mg/m2) forming more compact interfacial layer observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Moreover, both MUB and UB exhibited improved encapsulation functionality to protect cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) from UV degradation compared to the original pectin.  相似文献

Ultrasound can be used to modify the functional interactions between casein and whey proteins in dairy systems. This study reports on ongoing developments in understanding the effect of ultrasound and heating on milk proteins in systems with modified casein-whey protein ratios (97:3, 80:20 and 50:50), prepared from milk protein concentrates that were fractionated by microfiltration, based on protein size. Heating of concentrated casein streams (9% w/w) at 80.0 °C for up to 9 min resulted in reduced gelation functionality and increased viscosity, even in the absence of added whey proteins. 20 kHz ultrasonication at 20.8 W calorimetric power for 1 min was able to break protein aggregates formed during heating, resulting in improved gelation and reduced viscosity. Interestingly, when heated whey protein was recombined with unheated casein the gelation properties were similar to unheated controls. In contrast, when heat treated casein streams were recombined with unheated whey protein, the gel forming functionality was reduced. This study therefore shows that using specific combinations of heat and/or ultrasound, fractionated dairy streams can be tailored for specific functional outcomes.  相似文献

Emulsifier free emulsion was developed with a new patented technique for food and cosmetic applications. This emulsification process dispersed oil droplets in water without any emulsifier. Emulsions were prepared with different vegetable oil ratios 5%, 10% and 15% (v/v) using high frequency ultrasounds generated by piezoelectric ceramic transducer vibrating at 1.7 MHz. The emulsion was prepared with various emulsification times between 0 and 10 h. Oil droplets size was measured by laser granulometry. The pH variation was monitored; electrophoretic mobility and conductivity variation were measured using Zêtasizer equipment during emulsification process. The results revealed that oil droplets average size decreased significantly (p < 0.05) during the first 6 h of emulsification process and that from 160 to 1 μm for emulsions with 5%, 10% and from 400 to 29 μm for emulsion with 15% of initial oil ratio.For all tested oil ratios, pH measurement showed significant decrease and negative electrophoretic mobility showed the accumulation of OH at oil/water interface leading to droplets stability in the emulsion. The conductivity of emulsions showed a decrease of the ions quantity in solution, which indicated formation of positive charge layer around OH structure. They constitute a double ionic layer around oil particles providing emulsion stability. This study showed a strong correlation between turbidity measurement and proportion of emulsified oil.  相似文献

Mechanism of interaction and detailed physico-chemical characterization of the binding of four fluoroquinolones: levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, ciprofloxacin HCl and enrofloxacin with human serum albumin has been studied at physiological pH (7.4) using fluorescence spectroscopic technique. The stoichiometry of interaction was found to be 1:1 for all the drugs used. The association constants for the interaction were of the order of 104 in most cases. At low drug:protein ratios, a significant fraction of the added drug was bound. The predominant interactions involved are hydrogen bonding and Van der Waal’s interactions in the case of levofloxacin, hydrophobic interactions in the case of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and enrofloxacin and hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions in the case of sparfloxacin.The drug binding region did not coincide with that of the hydrophobic probe, 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS). From the displacement of site-specific probes and site-marker drugs, it was concluded that ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is site II-specific while enrofloxacin is a site I-specific drug. Levofloxacin binds at both site I and site II with equal affinity. Sparfloxacin had higher affinity for site II than site I. It is also possible that sparfloxacin binds at the interface between site I and site II. Stern-Volmer analysis of the data showed that the quenching mechanism is predominantly collisional for the binding of ciprofloxacin HCl and enrofloxacin while both static and collisional quenching mechanisms are operative in the case of levofloxacin and sparfloxacin. High magnitude of the rate constant for quenching showed that the process is not entirely diffusion controlled. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic studies showed that the presence of drugs did not cause any major changes in the secondary structure of HSA.  相似文献

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the design of biomaterials for cartilage tissue engineering. This type of materials must meet several requirements. In this study, we apply ultrasound to prepare a compatibilized blend of polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CHI), in order to improve stability and mechanical properties through the inter-polymer macroradicals coupling produced by sonochemical reaction. We study the kinetic of the sonochemical degradation of each component in order to optimize the experimental conditions for PEC compatibilization. Scaffolds obtained applying this methodology and scaffolds without ultrasound processing were prepared and their morphology (by scanning electron microscopy), polyelectrolyte interactions (by FTIR), stability and mechanical properties were analyzed. The swelling kinetics was studied and interpreted based on the structural differences between the two kinds of scaffolds. In addition we evaluate the possible in vitro cytotoxicity of the scaffolds using macrophage cells in culture. Our results demonstrate that the ultrasound is a very efficient methodology to compatibilize PEC, exhibiting improved properties compared with the simple mixture of the two polysaccharides. The test with murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells showed no evince of cytotoxicity, suggesting that PEC biomaterials obtained under ultrasound conditions could be useful in the cartilage tissue engineering field.  相似文献

In this study, comparative assessment of the technical performance, energy usage and economic impact of ultrasound, electrostatics and microwave on the coalescence of binary water droplets in crude oil was conducted. The effect of different oil properties such as crude oil viscosity (10.6–106 mPa s) and interfacial tension (IFT) (20–250 mN/m) on the coalescence time and energy consumption was examined. In addition, operation conditions such as inlet emulsion flow velocity (10–100 mm/s), electric field type, ultrasound frequency and applied voltage amplitude (0–30 kV) were evaluated. The numerical models showed good agreement with experimental findings in the literature. Moreover, the process time of the dewatering process increased with rising inlet flow velocities. The elevation of the coalescence time with velocity can be attributed to the increasing effect of flow disturbance, and the reduction of the emulsion residence time. As regards the IFT, the coalescence time reduced as the IFT was increased. This can be associated with the improved stability of emulsions formed at lowered IFT. As the maximum droplet size is directly proportional to the IFT, lowering the IFT reduces the peak diameter of the droplets that are present in the emulsion. Moreover, the coalescence time followed the order: ultrasound < microwave < electrostatics approaches under varying IFT. The coalescence energy increased from ∼15 J, ∼90 J and ∼25 mJ to ∼61 J, ∼235 J and ∼26 mJ for microwave, electrostatics and ultrasound techniques, respectively, as the viscosity was raised from 10.6 to 106 mPa s. Ultrasound coalescence showed significant energy and economic savings in comparison to microwave and electro-coalescence. Hence, ultrasound coalescence would be a potential method for standalone or integrated demulsification over the two other techniques. However, there are indications that beyond a viscosity of 300 mPa s, the effect of ultrasound becomes weak with significant hindrance to droplet movement and accumulation. This analysis provides fundamental insights on the comparative behavior of the three emulsion separation techniques.  相似文献

Emulsification by ultrasound: drop size distribution and stability   总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13  
The aim of this work is to compare the oil-in-water emulsions produced by mechanical agitation (Ultra-Turrax, 10,000 rpm, P = 170 W) or power ultrasound (ultrasound horn, 20 kHz, 130 W) using the same model system: water/kerosene/polyethoxylated (20 EO) sorbitan monostearate. The following parameters were varied: emulsification time, surfactant concentration, consumed power and volume fraction of oil. With ultrasound, the drop size (Sauter diameter, d32) is much smaller than that given by mechanical agitation under the same conditions, which makes insonated emulsions more stable. For a given drop size (d32), less surfactant is required.  相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the effects of high-intensity ultrasound treatment on the functional properties and emulsion stability of Neosalanx taihuensis myofibrillar protein (MP). The results showed that the carbonyl groups, emulsification properties, intrinsic fluorescence intensity, and surface hydrophobicity of the ultrasound treated MP solution were increased compared to the MP without ultrasound treatment. The results of secondary structure showed that the ultrasound treatment could cause a huge increase of β-sheet and a decline of α-helix of MP, indicating that ultrasound induced molecular unfolding and stretching. Moreover, ultrasound reduced the content of total sulfhydryl and led to a certain degree of MP cross-linking. The microscopic morphology of MP emulsion indicated that the emulsion droplet decreased with the increase of ultrasound power. In addition, ultrasound could also increase the storage modulus of the MP emulsion. The results for the lipid oxidation products indicated that ultrasound significantly improved the oxidative stability of N. taihuensis MP emulsions. This study offers an important reference theoretically for the ultrasound modification of aquatic proteins and the future development of N. taihuensis deep-processed products represented by surimi.  相似文献

The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) treatment on whey protein isolate (WPI) molecular structure as a previous step for complex coacervation (CC) with kappa-carrageenan (KC) and its influence on CC functional properties. Protein suspension of WPI (1% w/w) was treated with an ultrasound probe (24 kHz, 2 and 4 min, at 50 and 100% amplitude), non HIUS pretreated WPI was used as a control. Coacervation was achieved by mixing WPI and KC dispersions (10 min). Time and amplitude of the sonication treatment had a direct effect on the molecular structure of the protein, FTIR-ATR analysis detected changes on pretreated WPI secondary structure (1600–1700 cm−1) after sonication. CC electrostatic interactions were detected between WPI positive regions, KC sulfate group (1200–1260 cm−1), and the anhydrous oxygen of the 3,6 anhydro-D-galactose (940–1066 cm−1) with a partial negative charge. After ultrasound treatment, a progressive decrease in WPI particle size (nm) was detected. Rheology results showed pseudoplastic behavior for both, KC and CC, with a significant change on the viscosity level. Further, volume increment, stability, and expansion percentages of CC foams were improved using WPI sonicated. Besides, HIUS treatment had a positive effect on the emulsifying properties of the CC, increasing the time emulsion stability percentage. HIUS proved to be an efficient tool to improve functional properties in WPI-KC CC.  相似文献

Theoretically, Ultrasound method is an economical and environmentally friendly or “green” technology, which has been of interest for more than six decades for the purpose of enhancement of oil/heavy-oil production. However, in spite of many studies, questions about the effective mechanisms causing increase in oil recovery still existed. In addition, the majority of the mechanisms mentioned in the previous studies are theoretical or speculative. One of the changes that could be recognized in the fluid properties is viscosity reduction due to radiation of ultrasound waves. In this study, a technique was developed to investigate directly the effect of ultrasonic waves (different frequencies of 25, 40, 68 kHz and powers of 100, 250, 500 W) on viscosity changes of three types of oil (Paraffin oil, Synthetic oil, and Kerosene) and a Brine sample. The viscosity calculations in the smooth capillary tube were based on the mathematical models developed from the Poiseuille’s equation. The experiments were carried out for uncontrolled and controlled temperature conditions. It was observed that the viscosity of all the liquids was decreased under ultrasound in all the experiments. This reduction was more significant for uncontrolled temperature condition cases. However, the reduction in viscosity under ultrasound was higher for lighter liquids compare to heavier ones. Pressure difference was diminished by decreasing in the fluid viscosity in all the cases which increases fluid flow ability, which in turn aids to higher oil recovery in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. Higher ultrasound power showed higher liquid viscosity reduction in all the cases. Higher ultrasound frequency revealed higher and lower viscosity reduction for uncontrolled and controlled temperature condition experiments, respectively. In other words, the reduction in viscosity was inversely proportional to increasing the frequency in temperature controlled experiments. It was concluded that cavitation, heat generation, and viscosity reduction are three of the promising mechanisms causing increase in oil recovery under ultrasound.  相似文献

The in-situ compatiblized binary polymer blend polypropylene(PP)/polystyrene(PS)/ anhydrous aluminum chloride(AlCl3) was selected as a model system of a reactive polymer blend to investigate the effect of viscosity ratio of components at a constant shear rate on the phase morphological behavior in in-situ compatibilized systems. The results showed that the well-known interfacial compatibilization effect was related to variations of viscosity ratios of components in the reactive PP/PS blends with different contents of AlCl3 catalyst. The phase morphology evolution of the in-situ compatiblized reactive blend was determined by both the interfacial compatibilization and the variation of the viscosity ratio of components under the fixed mixing conditions, which showed characteristics obviously different from and much more complex than those in binary polymer blends generally compatiblized by added compatiblizers. The results implied that the variation of the viscosity ratio of components should be checked carefully and taken into account if necessary, when the phase morphology of binary polymer blends is investigated, especially in complex in-situ compatiblized reactive polymer blends.  相似文献

An ultrasonic technique was applied to formulation of two-phase water-in-paraffin oil emulsions loading a high-molecular polysaccharide chitosan (CS) and stabilized by an oil-soluble surfactant (Span80) at different operational conditions. The influence of chitosan molecular properties, phase volume ratio (φw), Span80 volume fraction (φs) and ultrasonic processing parameters were systemically investigated on the basis of mean droplet diameter (MDD) and polydispersity index (PDI) of emulsions. It was observed that the molecular weight (Mw) of CS was an important influential factor to MDD due to the non-Newtonian properties of CS solution varying with Mw. The minimum MDD of 198.5 nm with PDI of 0.326 was obtained with ultrasonic amplitude of 32% for 15 min at an optimum φw of 35%, φs of 8%, probe position of 2.2 cm to the top of emulsion, while CS with Mw of 400 kDa and deacetylation degree of 84.6% was used. The rise of emulsion viscosity and the reduction of negative zeta potential at φw increasing from 5% to 35% were beneficial to obtain finer droplets and more uniform distribution of emulsions, and emulsion viscosity could be represented as a monotonically-decreasing power function of MDD at the same φw. FTIR analysis indicated that the molecular structure of paraffin oil was unaffected during ultrasonication. Moreover, the emulsions exhibited a good stability at 4 °C with a slight phase separation at 25 °C after 24 h of storage. By analyzing the evolution of MDD, PDI and sedimentation index (SI) with time, coalescence model showed better fitting results as comparison to Ostwald ripening model, which demonstrated that the coalescence or flocculation was the dominant destabilizing mechanism for such W/O emulsions encapsulating CS. This study may provide a valuable contribution for the application of a non-Newtonian macromolecule solution as dispersed phase to generate nano-size W/O emulsions via ultrasound, and widen knowledge and interest of such emulsions in the functional biomaterial field.  相似文献

The rheological properties of heavy crude oil have a significant impact on the production, refining and transportation. In this paper, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations were performed to study the effects of the addition of light crude oil and emulsification on the rheological properties of heavy crude oil. The simulation results reflected that the addition of light crude oil reduced the viscosity effectively. The shear thinning behaviour of crude oil mixtures were becoming less distinct as the increase of the mass fraction of light crude oil. According to the statistics, the shear had an influence on the aggregation and spatial orientation of asphaltene molecules. In addition, the relationship between the viscosity and the oil mass fraction was investigated in the simulations of emulsion systems. The viscosity increased with the oil mass fraction slowly in oil-in-water emulsions. When the oil mass fraction was higher than 50%, the increase became much faster since systems had been converted into water-in-oil emulsions. The equilibrated morphologies of emulsion systems were shown to illustrate the phase inversion. The surfactant-like feature of asphaltenes was also studied in the simulations.  相似文献
