| description | Pickering emulsions (PE) are systems made up of two incompatible fluids, these are stabilized by solid organic or inorganic particles located on their interface. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are sustainable and biocompatible value-added naturally occurring biomolecules which are being investigated as PE stabilizers in the cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical industries. The objective of this research was to investigate the efficacy of pineapple cellulose nanocrystals as stabilizers for a ginger essential oil-in-water Pickering emulsion. Anionic pineapple cellulose nanocrystals were prepared by acid hydrolysis. Ginger essential oil-in-water emulsions were prepared by ultrasonication. Pineapple CNC produced stable Pickering emulsions with surface average droplet size of 4.3 μm–6.2 μm, high negative zeta potential, high viscosity, and high adsorption at the interface. Pickering emulsions by ultrasonication were stable against droplet coalescence, phase separation, and droplet flocculation for at least 8 weeks at 25 °C or 40 °C at various droplet sizes. The emulsion droplet size and volume density (droplet size distribution) were evaluated by varying the particle concentration (CNC 0.25 g/100 ml or 0.50 g/100 ml) and/or oil fraction (10–20 g/100 ml). At constant oil fraction, the emulsion viscosity increased as the nanocrystal concentration increased. The cellulose nanocrystal-stabilized ginger oil-Pickering emulsions exhibited shear-thinning characteristics of a pseudo-plastic fluid. Pineapple nanocellulose crystal -stabilized ginger oil-Pickering emulsions exhibited high stability with a creaming index of zero. CNC was found to be an effective Pickering stabilizer for oil-in-water emulsions in various food applications. |
