Fabrication and characterization of antioxidant fish oil Pickering emulsions stabilized by selenium nanoparticles-loaded whey protein concentrate and phloretin complex.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to enhance the nutritional value and oxidative stability of fortified milk by investigating the properties of fish oil Pickering emulsion (FOPE) stabilized by selenium nanoparticles (SeNP) loaded-whey protein concentrate/phloretin (WPC/PHL) complex. Initially, the influence of SeNP concentration on the WPC/PHL complex was evaluated through measurements of particle size, antioxidant activity, and intermolecular interactions. Results demonstrated that increasing SeNP concentration from 0.1 % to 0.3 % significantly enhanced the antioxidant activity, with ABTS assay values rising from 42.87 % to 76.14 % and DPPH assay values increasing from 59.10 % to 86.11 %. FTIR and docking analyses confirmed the formation of bonds (hydrogen and van der Waals) between the WPC/PHL/SeNP nanop
