Oil In Water Emulsion

Emulsified oily wastewater threatens human health seriously, and traditional technologies are unable to separate emulsion containing small sized oil droplets. Currently, oil–water emulsions are usually separated by special wettability membranes, and researchers are devoted to developing membranes with excellent antifouling performance and high permeability. Herein, a novel, simple and low-cost method has been proposed for the separation of emulsion containing surfactants. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning and then coated by polydopamine (PDA) by using self-polymerization reactions in aqueous solutions. The morphology, structure and oil-in-water emulsion separation properties of the as-prepared PDA@PAN nanofibrous membrane were tested. The results show that PDA@PAN nanofibrous membrane has superhydrophilicity and almost no adhesion to crude oil in water, which exhibits excellent oil–water separation ability. The permeability and separation efficiency of n-hexane/water emulsion are up to 1570 Lm−2 h−1 bar−1 and 96.1%, respectively. Furthermore, after 10 cycles of separation, the permeability and separation efficiency values do not decrease significantly, indicating its good recycling performance. This research develops a new method for preparing oil–water separation membrane, which can be used for efficient oil-in-water emulsion separation.

Abstract Objectives Carotenoids which are rich in fruits and vegetables, are known for their health-promoting benefits. However, due to their hydrophobicity, carotenoids are poorly absorbed in human body and there is a need to improve their absorption. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the emulsification and the type of dietary fat on the bioaccessibility of carotenoids from vegetable salads. Methods Oil-in-water emulsions were formed using the high-pressure homogenizer with whey protein isolate as the emulsifier. A mixture of raw vegetable salads, including tomatoes, baby spinach, carrots, romaine lettuce and Chinese wolfberry, were co-digested with 4 different types of dietary fats: olive oil-in-water emulsion (OLE), olive oil-water mixture (OLN), coconut oil-in-water emulsion (COE) and coconut oil-water mixture (CON). The bioaccessibility of 5 main carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, α-carotene, β-carotene and lycopene) was evaluated via a simulated in-vitro gastrointestinal model and the carotenoids were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results The bioaccessibility (mean ± SD) of total carotenoids was enhanced when vegetable salads were co-digested with the oil-in-water emulsion (23.5 ± 2.8%) than the oil-water mixture (15.4 ± 7.6%) (P < 0.05). Specifically, OLE showed an increase in the bioaccessibility of α-carotene (OLE: 24.5 ± 2.4%, OLN: 19.0 ± 0.6%, P < 0.05) and β-carotene (OLE: 20.4 ± 1.0%, OLN: 14.6 ± 2.5%, P < 0.05), compared to OLN, while no differences were observed for lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene. On the other hand, COE resulted in higher bioaccessibility of all the individual carotenoids as compared to CON (P < 0.05), except for the zeaxanthin. Overall, the bioaccessibility of total carotenoids was higher with olive oil (24.0 ± 2.8%) than coconut oil (14.9 ± 6.9%) (P < 0.05). Conclusions Findings from this study indicate that emulsification of dietary fats and olive oil enhance the bioaccessibility of carotenoids. Using excipient olive oil-in-water emulsion in particular, may be a potential way to improve the absorption of carotenoids when it is added into the carotenoids-rich vegetable salads as salads dressing.
