Introduction. Modern food science needs new research of food emulsifiers, their composition, properties and effect on the structural characteristics of emulsions. It looks for modern technological solutions on how to select proper emulsifiers and their mixes to produce emulsions with different mass fractions of fat. The research objective was to study the effect of physical and chemical indicators of surfactants on the properties of food emulsions, as well as to develop practical recommendations for the selection of surfactants for various types of products. Study objects and methods. The research featured model dairy fat emulsions and laboratory-made vegetable oil, as well as hard and soft mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and lecithins. The emulsifiers were used to determine the melting point, fatty acid composition, iodine number, and solid triglyceride content at various temperatures. The melting point of emulsifiers was determined by fixing the melting temperature in a capillary oven. To identify the fatty acid composition, the methyl esters of fatty acids were subjected to the chromatogram method. After that, the separated components and their quantity were determined by the area of the peaks. The content of solid triglycerides in the emulsifiers was determined by the method of nuclear magnetic resonance. The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance was obtained from the manufacturer's specifications. Results and discussion. The solid mono- and diglycerides appeared to have a high content of stearic and palmitic acids. Oleic acid predominated in soft monoglycerides; unsaturated fatty acids (linolenic and oleic) also predominated in the monoglycerides/lecithin complex emulsifier. Solid monoglycerides had a high content of solid triglycerides at 35°C (82.93%), which correlated with the high melting point (80°C) and the lowest iodine number (3 mg I2/100 g) of all the samples. The optimal ratio of vegetable oil and the emulsifier was defined empirically. The emulsifiers were dissolved in refined deodorized vegetable oil at 5–7°C above the melting point of the emulsifier. The resulting ratios were between 6:1 and 10:1. The samples of creamy vegetable spreads were obtained using the studied emulsifiers and their compositions in different doses and ratios. The crystallization temperature and phase transition time were determined when studying the process of emulsion overcooling. The article introduces a list of technological and physicochemical indicators of emulsifiers: the fatty acid composition, the degree of saturation, the melting point, and the content of solid triglycerides. By finding out the physicochemical parameters of emulsifiers, producers can vary the ratio of the components of emulsifying compositions to achieve the desired properties of food emulsions. The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance also proved to be an important index since the proportion of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in surfactants affects the type of emulsions and makes it possible to adjust the fat content of the finished product. Conclusion. The research results can expand the theoretical foundations of food emulsions. The article contains scientifically grounded recommendations on how to select optimal surfactants. The research opens up prospects for further studies of emulsifiers and their effect on the quality of finished products.

Полисахариды являются многофункциональными пищевыми ингредиентами, применяемыми в различных типах пищевых продуктов. Особый интерес вызывает изучение роли полисахаридов в качестве потенциальных про- или антиоксидантов в составе пищевых эмульсий. Основным недостатком традиционных способов оценки развития окислительных процессов в эмульсиях является необходимость предварительной экстракции жировой фазы, что может сопровождаться искажением реальных значений показателей окисления. В данной работе влияние полисахаридов на окислительную стабильность эмульсий изучено при помощи реактора окислительной устойчивости Oxitest, который позволяет проводить прямое измерение потребления кислорода в процессе окисления липидов, тем самым исключая необходимость экстракции и повышая достоверность полученных данных. Проведен сравнительный анализ 6 различных полисахаридов (альгинат натрия, i-каррагинан, камедь рожкового дерева, пектин амидированный, пектин высокоэтерифицированный, картофельный крахмал) в составе пищевых эмульсий. Методами ИК-Фурье спектроскопии и дифференциально-сканирующей калориметрии охарактеризованы состав и свойства исходных полисахаридов. Изучена вязкость 0,5%-ных растворов полисахаридов при помощи метода ротационной вискозиметрии. В результате проведенного анализа полисахаридов выявлены и охарактеризованы основные отличия в колебательных спектрах поглощения функциональных групп. Методом дифференциально-сканирующей калориметрии определены энтальпии теплового эффекта отделения влаги и начала термической деградации полисахаридов. Проведен многомерный статистический анализ полученных данных, выявивший основные закономерности между структурой и свойствами полисахаридов в составе эмульсий. Наибольшую окислительную стабильность проявили эмульсии на основе камеди рожкового дерева и амидированного пектина. Polysaccharides are multifunctional food ingredients used in various types of food products. The role of polysaccharides as potential pro- or antioxidants in food emulsions is of particular interest is. The main drawback of traditional methods for assessing the development of oxidative processes in emulsions is the need for preliminary extraction of the fat phase, which may be accompanied by a distortion of the real values of oxidation indices. In this work, the effect of polysaccharides on the oxidative stability of emulsions was studied using the Oxitest oxidative stability reactor, which allows the direct measurement of oxygen consumption during lipid oxidation, thereby eliminating the need for extraction and increasing the reliability of the obtained data. Comparative analysis of 6 different polysaccharides (sodium alginate, i-carrageenan, locust bean gum, amidated pectin, highly esterified pectin, potato starch) in food emulsions was performed. The composition and properties of the initial polysaccharides were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry methods. The viscosity of 0.5% solutions of polysaccharides was studied using the rotary viscometry method. The analysis of polysaccharides revealed and characterized the main differences in the vibrational absorption spectra of functional groups. The enthalpies of the thermal effect of moisture separation and the beginning of thermal degradation of polysaccharides were determined by differential scanning calorimetry. A multivariate statistical analysis of the obtained data revealed the main relations between the structure and properties of polysaccharides in emulsions. Emulsions based on locust bean gum and amidized pectin exhibited the highest oxidative stability.

The object of research is emulsions based on low-methoxylated apple pectin for dishes of the «Eat Healthy» system in the restaurant industry. The subject of the research is the commodity characteristics of emulsions for dishes of the «Eat Healthy» system. In the course of the study, methods were used to determine commodity characteristics based on sensory and physicochemical analysis. The proposed ingredient composition of emulsions based on low-methoxylated apple pectin makes it possible to form not only high consumer qualities, but also to provide the target product with functional health properties. The sorption activity of pectin makes it possible to bind and remove heavy metals, radionuclides from the body; removal of strontium isotopes has a high activity. As a highly hydrophilic, biocompatible biopolymer of plant origin, it provides a high viscosity of the structure at low concentrations, has a pronounced neutral, pleasant sour taste. Low-methoxylated apple pectin is one of the most common hydrocolloids, which is used in the technology of products with therapeutic, prophylactic, sorption, bactericidal properties. In addition, low-methoxylated pectin substances are a harmless and economical material, and can be considered as an alternative to antibiotics and synthetic preservatives to prevent bacterial spoilage and extend the shelf life of health food for public catering with high consumer properties. The influence of the technological properties of low-methoxylated pectin in the formation of commodity characteristics for food products based on emulsions in healthy food products of restaurant establishments of different styles and concepts has been determined. Samples of food emulsions were studied using different amounts of low-methoxylated pectin as a stabilizer to obtain a sedimentation-stable emulsion system. The use of low-methoxylated apple pectin in the composition of food emulsions increases the aggregate stability of the product, functional and merchandising characteristics. On the basis of a complex quality indicator, the optimal parameters of the emulsion formulation were determined. High-quality consumer characteristics are ensured due to the size of uronic particles up to 0.78–0.81 μm in size.

AbstractThe use of wood-derived cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) or galactoglucomannans (GGM) for emulsion stabilization may be a way to obtain new environmentally friendly emulsifiers. Both have previously been shown to act as emulsifiers, offering physical, and in the case of GGM, oxidative stability to the emulsions. Oil-in-water emulsions were prepared using highly charged (1352 ± 5 µmol/g) CNFs prepared by TEMPO-mediated oxidation, or a coarser commercial CNF, less charged (≈ 70 µmol/g) quality (Exilva forte), and the physical emulsion stability was evaluated by use of droplet size distributions, micrographs and visual appearance. The highly charged, finely fibrillated CNFs stabilized the emulsions more effectively than the coarser, lower charged CNFs, probably due to higher electrostatic repulsions between the fibrils, and a higher surface coverage of the oil droplets due to thinner fibrils. At a constant CNF/oil ratio, the lowest CNF and oil concentration of 0.01 wt % CNFs and 5 wt % oil gave the most stable emulsion, with good stability toward coalescence, but not towards creaming. GGM (0.5 or 1.0 wt %) stabilized emulsions (5 wt % oil) showed no creaming behavior, but a clear bimodal distribution with some destabilization over the storage time of 1 month. Combinations of CNFs and GGM for stabilization of emulsions with 5 wt % oil, provided good stability towards creaming and a slower emulsion destabilization than for GGM alone. GGM could also improve the stability towards oxidation by delaying the initiation of lipid oxidation. Use of CNFs and combinations of GGM and CNFs can thus be away to obtain stable emulsions, such as mayonnaise and beverage emulsions.

Canning or boiling pulse seeds in water produces a by-product solution, called “aquafaba”, that can be used as a plant-based emulsifier. One of the major problems facing the commercialization of aquafaba is inconsistency in quality and functionality. In this study, chickpea aquafaba production and drying methods were optimized to produce standardized aquafaba powder. Aquafaba samples, both freeze-dried and spray-dried, were used to make egg-free, vegan mayonnaise. Mayonnaise and analog physicochemical characteristics, microstructure, and stability were tested and compared to mayonnaise prepared using egg yolk. Chickpeas steeped in water at 4 °C for 16 h, followed by cooking at 75 kPa for 30 min at 116 °C, yielded aquafaba that produced the best emulsion qualities. Both lyophilization and spray drying to dehydrate aquafaba resulted in powders that retained their functionality following rehydration. Mayonnaise analogs made with aquafaba powder remained stable for 28 days of storage at 4 °C, although their droplet size was significantly higher than the reference sample made with egg yolk. These results show that aquafaba production can be standardized for optimal emulsion qualities, and dried aquafaba can mimic egg functions in food emulsions and has the potential to produce a wide range of eggless food products.
