Effects of the Combination of Protein in the Internal Aqueous Phase and Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate on the Stability of Water-In-Oil-In-Water Emulsions Co-Encapsulating Crocin and Quercetin.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to diminish the reliance on water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions on the synthetic emulsifier polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR). Considering the potential synergistic effects of proteins and PGPR, various protein types (whey, pea and chickpea protein isolates) were incorporated into the internal aqueous phase to formulate W/O/W emulsions. The effects of the combination of PGPR and protein at different ratios (5:0, 4:1, 3:2, 1:1 and 2:3) on the stability and encapsulation properties of W/O/W emulsions co-encapsulating crocin and quercetin were investigated. The findings indicated that the combination of PGPR and protein resulted in a slight reduction in the encapsulation efficiency of the emulsions, compared to that of PGPR (the control). Nonetheless, this combination s
