A Promising Therapeutic Soy-Based Pickering Emulsion Gel Stabilized by a Multifunctional Microcrystalline Cellulose: Application in 3D Food Printing.

ABSTRACT: The feasible application of additive manufacturing in the food and pharmaceutical industries strongly depends on the development of highly stable inks with bioactive properties. Surface-modified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) shows the potential of being a useful particulate (i.e., Pickering)-type emulsifier to stabilize emulsions. To attain desired therapeutic properties, MCC can also be tuned with cationic antimicrobial compounds to fabricate an antimicrobial printable ink. However, due to the formation of complex coacervates between the two, the Pickering emulsion is very susceptible to phase separation with an insufficient therapeutic effect. To address this drawback, we reported a green method to produce antioxidant and antimicrobial three-dimensional (3D)-printed objects, il
