Investigation into the physicochemical stability and rheological properties of rutin emulsions stabilized by chitosan and lecithin

In this study, the possibility of producing stable O/W emulsions encapsulating rutin in oil droplets stabilized by soy lecithin and chitosan has been demonstrated. Emulsions were prepared using rotor-stator homogenization, which relied on the adsorption of cationic chitosan polymer to anionic oil droplet stabilized with lecithin. Results showed that emulsion stability index (ESI), mean droplet size (d(3,2)), and rheological properties of...
