Utilization of β-lactoglobulin- (−)-Epigallocatechin- 3-gallate(EGCG) composite colloidal nanoparticles as stabilizers for lutein pickering emulsion

Controlling and manipulating thickness, packing, charge and chemical composition of the interfacial layer is highly relevant to the fabrication of stable emulsion delivery systems. In this work, composite nanoparticles with antioxidant capacity were prepared using β-lactoglobulin nanoparticles (β-lgNPs) and (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and applied as Pickering emulsifiers to stabilize a model lutein emulsion. The primary interactions...
