High internal phase emulsions stabilized with amyloid fibrils and their polysaccharide complexes for encapsulation and protection of β-carotene

In present study, lysozyme amyloid fibrils and their complexes with polysaccharides were investigated for stabilizing high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). Linear polysaccharides, alginate and λ-carrageenan and branching ones, low and high methyl esterified pectins electrostatically bind to amyloid fibrils in nematic phase, forming well dispersed coacervates showing birefringence under polarized light. Comparatively, the polysaccharides...
