Banana peel nanocellulose and soy protein hydrolysate complexed colloidal nanoparticles synthesis using ultrasonic interventions: characterization and stable pickering emulsion formation.

ABSTRACT: Pickering based emulsion system are been gaining interest in active delivery of encapsulated molecules in food system. In the present study, cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs) were isolated from food waste (banana peel) using acid hydrolysis followed by high-intensity ultrasonication. The complex colloidal nanoparticles (CNPSPH) were fabricated using hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between cellulose nanoparticles and soy protein hydrolysates. With 400 W power level for 30 min, size of 53.11 ± 1.45 nm with polydispersity index of 0.21 ± 0.21 and Zeta potential of - 34.33 ± 0.77 were noted for generated CNPs. The three-phase contact angle (o/w) of CNPSPH at a mass ratio of 1:1 CNPs to SPHs (CNPSPH 1:1) was approximately 89.07°, indicating as effective Pickering emulsifiers. Furthermore, the stability of the Pickering emulsion stabilised by CNPSPH complex was investigated under various pH and temperature conditions. The findings will provide solution in development of nanocellulose-soy protein complex particles for a stabilized Pickering emulsion formation.
