ABSTRACT

17

This work attempted to engineer emulsions’ interface using special affinity between proline-rich

18

gliadin and proanthocyanidins (PA), to develop surfactant-free antioxidant Pickering emulsions

19

with digestive-resistant properties. This binding interaction between gliadin and PA benefited the

20

interfacial adsorption of the particles to corn oil droplets. Pickering droplets as building units

21

assembled into interconnected three-dimensional network structure, giving the emulsions

22

viscoelasticity and ultra-stability. Oxidative markers in Pickering emulsions were periodically

23

monitored under thermally accelerated storage. Lipid digestion and oxidation fates were

24

characterized using in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) models. Interfacial membrane constructed by

25

antioxidant particles served as a valid barrier against lipid oxidation and digestion, in a PA

26

dose-dependent manner. Briefly, lipid oxidation under storage and simulated GI tract was retarded.

27

Free fatty acid (FFA) fraction released decreased by 55% from 87.9% (bulk oil) to 39.5%

28

(Pickering emulsion), implying engineering interfacial architecture potentially benefited to fight

29

obesity. This study opens a facile strategy to tune lipid oxidation and digestion profiles through the

30

cooperation of Pickering principle and interfacial delivery of antioxidants.

31 32

Key words: Pickering emulsions, gliadin/proanthocyanidins interaction, lipid digestion, lipid

33

oxidation.

INTRODUCTION

35

Emulsion is an important ingredient in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.1 Lipid oxidation

36

of emulsion is a major issue resulting in quality deterioration even carcinogen formation.2, 3 The

37

reactive aldehydes formed are cytotoxic and genotoxic at very low concentrations.4 The oxidation

38

of emulsified oil mainly occurs at the oil-water interface of emulsion system. Amphiphilic primary

39

oxidant products (lipid hydroperoxides, LH) tend to adsorb at interface.5,6 Pro-oxidants, such as

40

transition metals usually initiate lipid peroxidation by reducing LH into highly reactive radicals,

41

promoting the chain reaction of lipid oxidation in emulsions.7 Nowadays, obesity cause a global

42

crisis which brings health and social issues to humans. Lipid, one of high energy dense

43

macronutrients, is often related to obesity.8 Delaying lipid lipolysis is a potential strategy to fight

44

obesity. Previous studies confirmed that limited lipid digestion might activate the so-called ileal

45

brake feedback mechanism (overexpression of hormones) lowering food or calorie intake while

46

satiety don't lower.9,10 Both lipid oxidation and hydrolysis are prevalent at the interfacial region of

47

emulsions. Hence, we aimed to design interfacial layer makeup by gliadin colloid particles using

48

Pickering principle, to prevent lipid oxidation and lipolysis under storage and simulated GI tract.

49

Droplet interfacial characteristics (composition, thickness, and charge) play an important role in

50

lipid oxidation and digestion fate of emulsions. Engineering interfacial structures by Pickering

51

particle is a potent strategy to manipulate lipid oxidation and digestion profiles of emulsified oils.

52

Pickering emulsion is a kind of solid particle stabilized emulsions where interfacial absorption of

53

particles is nearly irreversible. The high resistance to coalescence is a major benefit of Pickering

54

emulsion.11,12 Pickering emulsions stabilized by sustainable solid particles especially food-grade

55

ones have attracted increasing interests for their unique characteristic and potential applications,

56

such as reducing caloric intake, delivering functional substances.13 Typical food-grade particles for 3

Pickering emulsion development included cellulose or chitin nanocrystals,14,15 phytosterol,16

58

modified starch,17 zein and gliadin colloid particles.18,

59

advantages relative to conventional emulsions, i.e., eminent stability (thicker interfaces), controlled

60

delivery (responsive and tunable interfaces), and safety (surfactant-free). However, those works

61

referred mainly to the physical performances of Pickering emulsions, little was known about the

62

oxidant and digestive fate of them. Actually, it is a feasible strategy to tune interfacial

63

characteristics via Pickering principle for controlling the performance of emulsified oil including

64

oxidative and digestive fate.

19

Pickering emulsions possess many

65

Gliadins, one of prolamine-type proteins in cereals, are proline-rich proteins with

66

amphiphilicity.20 Gliadins are capable of self-assembly to yield various forms of colloidal structures,

67

e.g., nano/micro-scale particles. Previous works reported that pristine gliadins colloid particle

68

(GCPs) were used as solid emulsifier to develop Pickering emulsions.21, 22 In our laboratory, we

69

showed that GCPs are too hydrophilic to adsorb at the surface of corn oil droplets and tend to rest in

70

the continuous phase at pH 2.9, and the Pickering emulsions developed were susceptible to

71

creaming and/or coalescence. The ion strength increase and pH shift, and the association were

72

utilized to manipulate the surface property of GCPs to fabricate stable emulsions. However, those

73

emulsions developed still were labile to destabilize in highly acidic conditions, for example

74

simulated gastric fluids (SGF). This behavior limited to some degree the application of Pickering

75

emulsions as oral delivery. Accordingly, some pertinent solutions must be adopted to tune the

76

colloidal and interface properties of GCPs to produce stable Pickering emulsions with robust

77

interfacial architecture, for example, the unique interactions between proline-rich gliadins and

78

active polyphenols.

80

characteristics with potent application in pharmaceuticals.23 Although PA possess superior

81

antioxidant activities as revealed or shown by in vitro screening test, the polarity inhibits them from

82

partitioning into oil phase and thus reduces to a certain degree the antioxidant effects.24 The special

83

(unique) interaction between proline-rich proteins and PA is well known, mainly by hydrogen

84

bond.25 PA usually consist of oligomeric and polymeric forms. Polymeric forms have a stronger

85

affinity to proline-rich proteins while oligomeric forms receive attentions in view of the biological

86

activity, e.g., antioxidant activity.26, 27 Though, gliadin and PA was used as stabilizer and natural

87

antioxidants, respectively, no information was available on the development of gliadin/PA colloidal

88

particles. Moreover, no study on the combination (or co-assembly) of gliadin and PA for preventing

89

lipid oxidation and digestion in Pickering system was reported.

90

Herein, we reported firstly the application of the special affinity between proline-rich gliadin

91

and PA to construct duel-function protein colloid particles, aiming to control the self-assembly

92

nucleation process of gliadin, and to promote interfacial adsorption and regulate interfacial

93

architecture, so as to manipulate the lipid oxidation and digestion fate of emulsified oils. Confocal

94

laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and optical microscopy were used to characterize the

95

microstructure of Pickering emulsions developed, and rheological characteristics of them were

96

investigated by dynamic oscillatory measurements. The thermally accelerated oxidation of lipid in

97

the Pickering emulsions was analyzed by detecting the levels of the oxidative markers (headspace

98

oxygen, headspace hexanal and MDA) during the incubation at 60 °C. The digestion fate of

99

Pickering emulsions was investigated in simulated GI tract at 37°C by checking microstructural

100

evolution of the Pickering emulsion and the extent of lipid hydrolysis and oxidation. Besides, we

101

also discussed the potential linkage between the interfacial characteristics of Pickering emulsions

102

stabilized by gliadin/PA hybrid particles (GPHPs, duel-function particles) and their fates in the 5

MATERIALS AND METHODS

106

Materials. Gluten was purchased from Fengqiu Hua Feng powder Co., Ltd (Fengqiu, China).

107

Food-grade corn oil was bought in a local supermarket (Guangzhou, China) and purified by

108

molecular sieve to remove initial antioxidants before use.

109

JianFeng Natural product R & D Co., Ltd (Tianjin, China), with the degree of polymerization (DP)

110

of 2.72 ± 0.07. 29 Bile bovine (B3883), mucin (from porcine stomach, Type II), porcine lipase

111

(L3126, 100-500 U/mg, type II), porcine pepsin (P7000, ≥250 U/mg), porcine pancreatin (P7545,

112

8×USP specifications) and metmyoglobin (from equine skeletal muscle) were bought from Sigma–

113

Aldrich (Shanghai, China). Other chemical reagents were of analytical purity.

28

PA (85% OPCs) was offered by

Gliadin Extraction. The extraction was performed following the method described previously.

114 115

21

116

The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The obtained mixture was centrifuged (8,000g,

117

20 min) at 4 °C. The resultant supernatant (rich in gliadin) was dialyzed in dialysis bags with the

118

molar weight cut-off of 12000 Da at 4 °C against de-ionized water (day 1), 0.05 M acetic acid (day

119

2), and de-ionized water (day 3) again. Gliadin powder was obtained by freeze-drying the dialysate.

120

Preparation of Gliadin/PA Hybrid Particles (GPHPs). GPHPs were synthesized following a

121

facile anti-solvent precipitation. Precisely, gliadin (0.25 g) was dissolved in ethanol-water mixture

122

solvent (40 mL, 70:30, v/v), and PA were added to 1% acetic acid solution (100 mL) at

123

PA-to-gliadin mass ratios of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10% (marked as GCPs, GPHPs-1, GPHPs-2, GPHPs-5,

124

GPHPs-10, respectively). Then, aliquots of gliadin solution were added dropwise into 1% acetic

125

acid solution under shearing (6000 rpm) for 6 min by a T25 homogenizer (IkA, Germany). Next,

In short, gluten powders (100 g) were admixed with 1 L of aqueous ethanol solution (70%, v/v).

126

ethanol in the particle dispersion was removed by rotary evaporation (RV 10, IkA, Germany).

127

Gliadin content in GPHPs solution was eventually adjusted to 0.5%.

128

Pickering Emulsion Preparation. Pickering emulsions (GPHPEs) were produced at pH 4.0

129

using GPHPs as particulate emulsifiers. The volume fraction in Pickering emulsions was fixed at

130

50%. That is, 4 mL of corn oil and 4 mL of aqueous GPHPs dispersions was mixed in a glass bottle,

131

and then the mixture was sheared (15000 rpm, 4 min) to yield Pickering emulsions (GPHPEs) using

132

an T10 homogenizer with a 5-G head (IkA, Germany). PA-free gliadin colloid particle (GCPs) was

133

used to produce GCPEs as the control via the above-mentioned protocol.

134

Particle Size and Zeta Potential (ζ-potential) Measurements. The size and size distributions

135

as well as ζ-potential of GPHPs were characterized at 25 °C by a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS

136

(Worcestershire, UK). GPHPs dispersions were thinned to 1 mg/mL (pH 4.0) prior to the test. Each

137

result reported is the mean and standard deviation (SD) of triplicate tests.

138

Particle Morphology. The morphology of GPHPs was characterized by a Multimode 8 atomic

139

force microscopy (Bruker, German). The samples were diluted to 30 µg/mL, and 5 µL of diluted

140

GPHPs was dripped on mica disks, then dried overnight. For each samples, at least two preparations

141

were examined.

142

Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). IR of PA, gliadin and GPHPs-2 were

143

measured with a Fourier transform infrared instrument (Bruker Co., Germany) at a resolution of 2

144

cm−1. For each type of particles, the spectrum was obtained by overlapping 128-scans, from 400 to

145

4000 cm−1.

146

Determination of Droplet Size and Size Distributions as well as Zeta Potential of

147

GPHPEs. Droplet size and size distributions of GPHPEs freshly prepared and sampled during the

148

simulated GI digestion were investigated by Malvern Mastersizer 3000 (Malvern Instruments, UK). 7

149

Pump speed was 2500 rpm. The refractive index (RI) of water (the dispersant) and corn oil was

150

1.330 and 1.467, respectively. The absorption parameter was 0.001. Droplet size was reported as

151

surface mean diameter (D3,2) and volume-mean diameter (D4,3). Zeta potentials of freshly prepared

152

Pickering emulsions were assayed by the same protocol described previously.

153

Optical Microscopy Measurements. The micrographs of Pickering emulsions before and/or

154

after every digestion step were obtained using a MX-4000 light microscope (Meiji Techno., Japan).

155

The GPHPEs samples were mildly shaken by a vortex for a few seconds prior to the test to

156

guarantee the homogeneity. The resultant specimens (GPHPEs) were dripped in the center of slide

157

glasses which were then covered by cover slips.

158

CLSM. CLSM technique was used to investigate the microstructure of GPHPEs according to

159

the protocol described previously,21 using a LSM 710 confocal microscopy (Carl Zeiss, Germany).

160

An aliquot (1 mL) of the emulsions were dyed using 80 µL Nile Red solution (in isopropyl alcohol)

161

and/or 80 µL Nile Blue A solution (in isopropyl alcohol). One drop of dyed GPHPEs (about 20 µL)

162

was added on a concave slide, following by covered it with a coverslip. The fluorescence was

163

excited at 488 nm (for Nile Red) or 633 nm (Nile Blue A), as well as simultaneously excited at 488

164

nm and 633 nm to obtain overlapped CLSM images.

165

Dynamic Oscillatory Measurements. Small amplitude oscillatory measurements were

166

performed to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of GPHPEs by a HAAKE RS600 Rheometer

167

(Karlsruhe, Germany). In short, amplitude sweep (0.1 to 100 Pa, frequency as 1 Hz) and frequency

168

sweep (0.01 to 10 Hz, stress as 1 Pa) were performed out at 25 °C. Frequency scanning was

169

achieved within the linear viscoelastic region of GPHPEs.

170

Measurements of Lipid Oxidation Stability in Pickering Emulsions. Oxygen Consumption.

171

Gas chromatograph (GC) was used to monitor the oxygen consumption of GPHPEs during the 8

172

thermally accelerated oxidation process using the protocol reported by Kim et al.,30 with a slight

173

modification. Briefly, headspace vial (22.4 mL) containing 3.0 mL GPHPEs samples were

174

hermetically sealed with the silicon/Teflon septum and aluminum crimp cap. Next, the sealed

175

headspace vial was incubated at 60 °C for 51 h in the dark. The evolution in headspace oxygen was

176

monitored periodically (0, 3, 6, 16, 23, 40 and 51 h) by a series 580 gas chromatography

177

(GOW-MAC Instrument Co, US) united with a CTR1 column and a thermal conductivity detector.

178

The flow rate of nitrogen (99.99%) as the carrier gas was 40 mL min−1. Oven temperature was 60°C

179

for 10 min to reach equilibrium state, injector and detector temperature were 120°C. Corresponding

180

O2 peak area in 1.0 mL of headspace air was measured as the control. Amount of O2 in vial was

181

then calculated based on headspace volume and theoretical O2 concentration in ambient air, O2

182

depletion after a period of time was the remaining O2 subtracted from that in vial headspace at

183

initial time. The final data were reported in mmol O2 kg−1oil.

184

Secondary Lipid Oxidation Products. Hexanal Measurements. Fresh GPHPEs samples (3.0

185

mL) was added in headspace vial (22.4 mL), then incubated in the dark at 60°C for 35 d. An Agilent

186

7890B GC (Agilent, USA) united with flame ionization detector (FID) was used to monitor

187

periodically the headspace hexanal of the vials, using the procedures reported previously,31 with a

188

minor revision. Samples were equilibrated at 60 °C for 10 min at 450 rpm in autosampler heating

189

block before collecting. An aliquot (1000 µL) of headspace gas was injected into GC system. GC

190

analysis was performed by a TR-5MS capillary column (30m×25 mm×0.25µm). The injector

191

temperature, oven temperature and flame ionization detector temperature was 250, 60, and 250°C,

192

respectively. Duration of each test was 10 min. The tests for each sample were performed in

193

triplicate.

194

Malondialdehyde (MDA) Measurements. Measurements of MDA levels in the GPHPEs were 9

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

195

followed the procedure reported by Obando et al.32 Aliquots of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) were

196

mixed with the emulsions sample to precipitate gliadin. The centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 10 min was

197

performed to yield MDA-rich supernatant. The TBA reagent (20 mM) was used to derive the

198

extracted MDA, and then the resultant mixtures were cooled in an ice bath. Finally, an aliquot of

199

reaction mixture (10 µL) was injected into a C18 HPLC column maintained at 35 °C. The flow rate

200

of mobile phase (water and acetonitrile, 82:18, v/v) was l mL/min. Emission and excitation

201

wavelengths of the fluorometric detector were 560 and 525 nm, respectively. MDA standard curve

202

were prepared by 1, 1, 3, 3-tetraethoxypropane in the range of 0.1-50 µg/mL.

203

The In Vitro Digestion. The fate of the GPHPEs under the simulated GI digestion was

204

characterized according to the model reported previously.33,

34

205

(GCPEs, GPHPEs-1, GPHPEs-5) were digested in the SGF and SIF in sequence.

Three typical emulsion samples

206

Gastric Phase. SGF was made up using the formula described by Shah et al.35 It consisted of

207

pepsin (3.2 mg/mL), NaCl (2 mg/mL) and HCl (0.7% v/v) with the pH of 2.0. An aliquot of

208

Pickering emulsion samples (2 g) was put into 20 mL SGF. The pH of the mixture was re-adjusted

209

to 2.0 if necessary by 1.0 M HCl. The resultant mixture was shaken for 1 h at 37 °C and 95 rev

210

min−1 to complete the digestion under SGF. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 7.0 to stop the

211

digestion.

212

Small Intestinal Phase. The pH-stat protocol was performed to monitor the release of free

213

fatty acids (FFA) in simulate small intestinal phase.33, 34 The bolus from gastric phase was mixed

214

with bile extract (20 mg/mL) and salt solutions (10 mM CaCl2, 120 mM NaCl). The pH of the

215

digesta was re-adjusted to 7.0 if necessary by 1M NaOH. Then, aliquots of fresh digestive enzyme

216

dispersions (5 mL) including pancreatin (2.4 mg/mL) and lipase (3.6 mg/mL) were added into

217

digestive juice. The pH of digestive juice was kept at 7.0 by dripping 0.1 M NaOH, the volume of 10

218

NaOH (in mL) consumed to titrate FFA liberated was monitored within the 120 min of the digestion.

219

Percent of free FFA released was calculated according to Equation (1):

 VNaOH (t ) ∗ M NaOH ∗ MWTG   FFA(%) = 100 ∗  mTG ∗ 2  

(1)

220

Where VNaOH(t), the volume of NaOH consumed (in mL) at t moment; MNaOH, the molarity of

221

NaOH consumed to neutralize FFA released; MWTG, the mean molecular weight of corn oil (872

222

g/mol); mTG, the mass of corn oil added under digestion process (g). Control trials were carried out

223

on Pickering emulsions with dodecane as the internal phase. In addition, particle size and

224

microstructural evolution was monitored using the protocol described previously.

225

Lipid Oxidation under simulate GI Digestion Process. An in vitro digestion model was

226

constructed to evaluate lipid oxidation under simulated GI digestion according the procedure

227

described previously.36 In short, 1 mL of GPHPEs or 0.5 mL of corn oil was mixed with 1.89 mL

228

SGF which contained 6.7 g/L pepsin and 2.7 g/L mucin in a headspace vial (20.5 L), and then 1 mL

229

of 20 µM metmyoglobin (in SGF) was put into the headspace vial. An aliquot of 1 M HCl (32.2 µL)

230

was added to adjust the pH of the mixture to 2.5. Subsequently, headspace vials were sealed and

231

covered by aluminium foil paper. Finally, they were shaken at 90 rev min−1 and 37°C in the dark.

232

After 60 min, 380 µL of NaOH (1 M) was added to raise the pH of the juice to 6.5 to stop gastric

233

digestion, and then 3.5 mL of simulated intestinal fluid containing pancreatic lipase (0.56 g/L) and

234

pancreatin (1.12 g/L) as well as 1.26 mL of bile extract (18.63 g/L) were added by syringes into the

235

digestive juice. Headspace vials were shaken for additional 120 min at the same condition. MDA

236

generation was determined after simulated digestion according to the above-mentioned procedure.

237

Statistics. For each sample or determination, triplicate tests were carried out. The results were

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

241

Colloid Properties of Gliadin/PA Hybrid Particles (GPHPs). Polyphenols are prized for the

242

physiological activities as well as binding affinity to protein.37 PA are well known to bind the

243

proteins (rich in proline) through secondary interactions.25 Mazzaracchio et al. verified that

244

anthocyanidins could be adsorbed by gliadin.38 In this work, we investigated the evolutions in

245

ζ-potential of gliadin particles and PA in the pH range of 2−6 at 25 ℃ (Figure 1C). ζ-potential of

246

GCPs gradually decreased from 18.80 ± 1.28 mV (pH 2.6) to −4.2 ± 0.04 mV (pH 6.0), while

247

ζ-Potential of PA decreased from 2.15 ± 1.20 mV (pH 2.0) to −9.10 ± 0.98 mV (pH 6.0). Thus it

248

can be inferred from Figure 1C that there was electrostatic attraction forces between gliadin

249

molecule and PA at the pH value from 3.0 to 5.0. FTIR spectra of gliadin, PA and GPHPs in Figure

250

1D clearly showed peak of amide A was shifted from 3303 cm−1 (gliadin) to 3419 cm−1 (hybrid

251

particles), verifying the formation of hydrogen bonds between proton donors (PA) and proton

252

acceptors (carbonyl groups of gliadin).38 Our results confirmed the fact that proline-rich gliadin

253

exhibited binding affinities to polyphenols through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds,

254

hydrophobic interactions may also exist. Herein, grape seed PA was utilized to affect gliadin

255

self-assembly process preparing hybrid particles (GPHPs) and manipulate colloidal properties of the

256

resulting GPHPs.

257

The colloidal property of GPHPs dispersions (0.5%, w/v) was examined at pH 4.0, as a

258

function of PA loadings. Initially, hybrid particles dispersions was transparent (Figure 1A), then

259

changed to translucent and flocculated to form precipitates after incubating for 24 h at room

260

temperature (Figure 1S). The low zeta-potential (Table 1) was responsible for the observed

261

263

(Table 1) increasing from 120.07 ± 2.73 nm (GCPs) to 364.63 ± 8.93 nm (GPHPs-2), then

264

decreasing to 86.60 ± 1.15 nm (GPHPs-10), this result was corroborated by AFM images (Figure

265

1B). Zeta potentials of GPHPs were almost the same as gliadin particles (about 10 mV)

266

demonstrating the incorporation of PA did not affect the surface charge of gliadin colloid particles

267

(Table 1 and Figure 1C).

268

Preparation and Physical properties of Pickering Emulsions. The appearance of GPHPEs

269

after 10 d of storage at ambient temperature as a function of PA loadings is shown in Figure 2. In

270

this series, 0.5% (w/v) GPHPs dispersions were used to produce GPHPEs with a fixed oil volume

271

fraction of 50%. Freshly prepared emulsions were homogeneous while the creaming occurred upon

272

storage due to density gradient, and the creaming indices21 were decreased from 30% (GCPEs) to

273

25% (GPHPEs-10) after 10 d of storage (data not shown). Visually, sublayer water was clear,

274

except for GPHPEs-10 where it was reddish due to the presence of free PA. Importantly, GPHPEs

275

were stable at room temperature for more than 1 year. Figure 3 shows the droplet size distributions

276

of Pickering emulsions. Obviously, mono-modal droplet size distribution profiles were observed for

277

GPHPEs, and droplet size were range from 10 up to 100µm. Zeta potentials of GPHPEs (~20 mV)

278

were larger than that of GPHPs (~10 mV) at pH 4.0 (Table 2), indicating that the

279

micro-environment change of the particles from bulk aqueous phase to interface led to an adaptive

280

conformation of adsorbed gliadin-based particles.39 In brief, GPHPs were effectively adsorbed and

281

settled at the dispersed droplet surface, accounting for the formation of stable Pickering emulsions.

282

Microstructure of Pickering emulsions. Optical Photographs. Figure 4 showed optical

283

micrographs of typical GPHPEs. The drop characteristics of the emulsions evolved with PA

284

loadings. In GCPEs, most droplets were isolated from each other or presented discrete, slightly

285

flocculated state. At low PA concentrations (GPHPEs-1 and GPHPEs-2), emulsions were composed 13

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

286

of smaller, moderately flocculated drops. In contrast, extensively flocculated drops were observed

287

with increased PA loadings (GPHPEs-5 and GPHPEs-10). Herein, good correlation between PA

288

amounts and the Pickering emulsion microstructure characteristics was established. In GPHPEs, the

289

droplets aggregated to form flocs, but they remained individual rather than merged or coalesced,

290

confirming that the steric hindrance of particle-based interface architecture prevented the

291

destabilization phenomena. This behavior benefits the formation of interconnected tridimensional

292

network, leading to gelled products. Interestingly, the emulsions produced were stable against

293

coalescence over 1 year, although the extensive flocculation occurred.

294

CLSM. Emulsion microstructures e.g., interfacial architecture, particle location (or partition),

295

and droplet flocculation significantly play a dominant role in the physical stability at ambient

296

temperature and GI digestibility of emulsions. They were characterized by CLSM technique to

297

obtain more information. Figure 5 shows typical CLSM micrographs of selected samples where oil

298

droplets and gliadin colloid particles were dyed with Nile Red (green) and Nile Blue A (red),

299

respectively. The incorporation of PA facilitated the adsorption and deposition of gliadin-based

300

particles at the interfacial region of emulsions. This deduction was supported by the gradual

301

increase of red fluorescence (protein) at the surface of dispersed droplets upon increasing PA

302

loadings. CLSM trials also revealed that PA promoted the flocculation of particle-coated dispersed

303

droplets which flocculated to form closely packed droplet-based networks (Figure 5). In brief,

304

addition of PA endowed GPHPEs with robust and compact interfacial structure.

305

Rheological Properties. The rheological property impacts the physical property of the

306

Pickering emulsions, for example, appearance, texture and stability. Figure 6 shows storage

307

modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G”) of GPHPEs as a function of stress (A) or frequency (B) at

308

selected PA loadings. The incorporation of PA led to a gradual increase in G′. This situation may be 14

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 14 of 47

Page 15 of 47

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

309

attributed to the effective interfacial adsorption and accumulation of the hybrid particles due to the

310

special affinity between proline-rich gliadins and PA, along with the emergence of a percolated

311

network architecture derived from the delicate interaction between particle-coated droplets (Figure

312

4D/E and 5). For all Pickering emulsions, G′ was higher than G″ at lower stress. In contrast, a

313

recognizable crossover point was detected for each emulsion at higher stress. The corresponding

314

crossover point was increased from 10 Pa for GPHPEs-1 to 63 Pa for GPHPEs-10 (Figure 6A). As

315

expected, frequency sweep of Pickering emulsions also confirmed that the introduction of PA

316

strengthened the emulsions solid-like behaviors (Figure 6B). In brief, G′ was greater than the

317

corresponding G″ in the entire frequency range tested. The G′ increased upon the increase in PA

318

loadings at a given frequency (Figure 6B). Rheological properties supported the finding of visual

319

appearance and microstructure that GPHPEs prepared were viscoelastic and self-supporting. The

320

formation of interconnected 3D network via the particle-coated droplets and free particles as

321

building blocks (Figure 4D/E and 5) contributed to the rigidity or mechanical strength of Pickering

322

emulsions and was crucial to tune lipid oxidation and digestion profiles.

323

Lipid Oxidation of GPHPEs. To illuminate the impact of PA loading on oxidative stability of

324

GPHPEs, three typical samples (GCPEs, GPHPEs-1, and GPHPEs-5) were subjected to thermally

325

accelerated incubation in the dark at 60 °C for 35d, the content of the markers (oxygen uptake,

326

hexanal and MDA) were monitored. Headspace oxygen of GPHPEs was measured to display initial

327

lipid oxidation rate in Pickering emulsions. In GCPEs, oxygen uptake reached maximum value (38

328

mmol/kg oil) after 23 h and then remained unchanged over time, PA loading delayed oxygen uptake

329

in GPHPEs, which reached only 31 and 26 mmol/kg oil for GPHPEs-1 and GPHPEs-5 after 51 h,

330

respectively (Figure 7A). Comparatively, Pickering emulsions developed consumed less oxygen

331

than conventional emulsions, e.g., Berton, et al. reported that oxygen uptake in the emulsions 15

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

332

stabilized with BSA (or Tween 20) was approximately 110 (or 80) mmol/kg oil after incubating at

333

33 °C for 75 h.40 Oxygen uptake in emulsions stabilized by protein was about 130 mmol/kg oil after

334

incubating in the dark at 33 °C for 78 h.41 Therefore, the combination of interfacial cargo of PA and

335

Pickering principle is a potent route to control initial lipid oxidation rate and level.

336

Headspace hexanal was monitored by GC analyses as an important marker of volatile

337

secondary lipid oxidative products of GPHPEs. As shown in Figure 7B, largest relative abundance

338

of hexanal with an identified peak at 3.6 min was recorded in GC profile of GCPEs after 35 d of

339

storage at 60 °C, and peak area of hexanal was decreased gradually with increasing PA loadings.

340

Table 3 shows more detailed evolution of hexanal content in GPHPEs during thermally accelerated

341

storage. As expected, peak of hexanal with an area of 12.57 firstly appeared in GCPEs on the 11th

342

day, while a weak signal (peak area was 1.76) measured in GPHPEs-1 on the 15th day. In the case

343

of GPHPEs-5, there was no detectable hexanal signal after 15 d, and a hexanal peak with an area of

344

6.73 was detected until 20 d of incubation. Evolution trend of headspace hexanal was consistent

345

with the oxygen uptake upon thermally accelerated oxidation at 60 °C (Figure 7A).

346

The combination of TBARS assay and HPLC was performed to determine MDA

347

concentrations in GPHPEs, Table 4 shows that MDA content was decreased from 25.40 ±

348

0.44 µmol/ kg of oil in GCPEs to 20.86 ± 1.60 and 19.07 ± 0.73 µmol/kg in GPHPEs-1 and

349

GPHPEs-5, after 35 d of storage at 60 °C. Comparatively, MDA content detected was lower than

350

the equivalent of biopolymer stabilized conventional emulsions. Huang et al. used soy protein

351

isolate and pectic enzyme treated pectin to stabilize soybean oil forming emulsions. The MDA

352

content in the emulsions was about 5 mmol/kg oil after the incubation at 50 °C for 10 d.42 Lomova

353

et al. investigated the oxidant stability of the linseed oil-based emulsions, which stabilized by

354

bovine serum albumin and biocompatible polyelectrolytes complexes, MDA content were 40−100 16

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 16 of 47

Page 17 of 47

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

355

mmol/kg oil during the incubation at 37 °C for 0−15 d. 1 In short, the MDA content in this work

356

was lower than that of the fore-mentioned emulsions by roughly 2−3 orders of magnitude.

357

Therefore, Pickering emulsions we fabricated were stable against lipid autoxidation in our

358

experiments. Besides, the results of MDA combined with oxygen consumption and hexanal

359

generation proved that Pickering emulsion alone, and the combination with PA effectively

360

improved the oxidative stability of emulsified systems. Consequently, development of antioxidant

361

interface through co-assembled GPHPs provides a powerful strategy to control lipid oxidation in

362

emulsified oil systems.

363

Lipid peroxidation usually speeds up in o/w binary systems when compared with bulk oil. In

364

an emulsion, lipid peroxidation initiates and prevails at the interfacial region.5-7 Herein, Pickering

365

emulsions with tunable interfacial structure (Figure 5) were constructed. Interestingly, the results of

366

oxygen uptake and the secondary oxidative products (hexanal and MDA) generation in Pickering

367

emulsions corroborated with each other and effectively identified that engineering interfacial

368

structure via PA-modified gliadin colloid particles is a powerful strategy to restrict lipid oxidation

369

of emulsified oils. Several factors contributed this finding. Effective adsorption of hybrid particles

370

resulted in robust antioxidant shell around droplets to scavenge free radicals and prevent the close

371

contact between pro-oxidants and LH.43, 44 The particle-coated droplets as building units resulted in

372

the occurrence of structuring phenomenon Pickering emulsions (Figure 4 and 5), and this situation

373

restrained the diffusion of pro-oxidant with toward the interfacial region where amphiphilic primary

374

oxidation products existed.

375

The in vitro Digestive fates of Pickering emulsions stabilized by GPHPs. Lipids are usually

376

untaken in various forms, and their digestion, adsorption and metabolism are really important in

377

directing food formula.1 17

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

378

Evolution in Droplet Size Distribution and Microstructure. The digestion fate of GPHPEs

379

under simulated GI tract was investigated by checking structural integrity as well as flocculation

380

and/or coalescence behavior of the droplets, by measuring the extent of lipid hydrolysis and

381

oxidation. Particle size and size distribution along with microstructure of the digesta were

382

periodically evaluated. Originally, mean particle diameters of GPHPEs were below 25 µm (D3, 2)

383

with mono-modal particle size distribution (Figure 8), and slightly flocculate (Figure 9) at the

384

beginning of digestion, possibly due to the pH shift to highly acidic condition.21 Shortly, GCPEs

385

underwent extensive droplet coalescence. The mean particle size of Pickering emulsions increased

386

from 22.00 to 94.75 µm (Table 5) after 10 min of incubation in SGF, which was well captured by

387

the light microscope, as shown in Figure 9 where larger droplets were clearly observed.

388

Interestingly, the introduction of PA prevented droplet coalescence of GPHPEs during the gastric

389

digestion. Visually, droplet coalescence occurred after 1 h of gastric digestion with droplet size

390

increasing from 19.73 to 102.88 µm (GPHPEs-1). Furthermore, the mean particle diameter

391

remained constant when GPHPEs-5 passed through the SGF, evidenced by optical microscopy

392

pictures (Figure 9). After the gastric digestion, some of oil droplets in GCPEs and GPHPEs-1

393

coalesced with each other losing their integrity and resulting in serious oiling-off, which was well

394

captured by camera (Figure 2S). Destabilization phenomena were also reported for Pickering

395

emulsions stabilized by Kafirin particles.45 Finally, only a few scattered small oil droplets

396

(0.13−0.19 µm) were observed due to the lipid hydrolysis after simulated GI digestion. In summary,

397

GPHPEs with robust interface architecture (Figure 5) were less labile to coalescence when exposed

398

to SGF.46

399

Figure 3S shows the changes of ζ-potential for Pickering emulsions in different digestion

400

stages. Zeta potential of all samples were decreased when exposing in SGF from approximately 20 18

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 19 of 47

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

401

mV (pH 4.0) (Table 2) to 8 mV resulting from pH change and electrostatic screening effect of salt

402

ion in SGF (pH 2.0). Zeta potentials of all samples were shifted to about -25 mV after the intestinal

403

digestion. The pH shift (from 2.0 to 7.0), electrostatic screening effect and interfacial substitution

404

by bile salts or lipid hydrolysate (e.g. monoglyceride, diglycerides) might responsible for this shift.

405

FFA Release. The bolus of gastric digestion was subjected to SIF digestion in turn to clarify the

406

potential influence of the interfacial architecture made up by gliadin/PA hybrid particles on the lipid

407

digestion. This model imitates the route in which excipient emulsions are orally untaken.45 Lipid

408

hydrolysis was determined using pH-stat protocol. Figure 10 shows the FFA release profiles of

409

GPHPEs with bulk corn oil as the control. A gentle release of FFA was detected within the initial

410

digestion (approximately 10 min), followed by a more rapid lipolysis, and then a slower lipolysis

411

was observed, whether corn oils were emulsified or not. The profiles of FFA release were fairly

412

similar for GCPEs and GPHPEs, but the extent of lipolysis was inversely proportional to PA

413

content (Figure 10). The lipolysis degree of bulk oil reached 87.9% after 2 h of digestion at 37 °C.

414

In contrast, it was largely limited when the surface of droplets was covered by gliadin/PA hybrid

415

particles, as a function of PA loadings. The FFA release was decreased by approximately 43% from

416

87.9% (bulk oil) to 50.2% (GCPEs). Lipid lipolysis was further depressed in GPHPEs where PA

417

were included, and FFA release were 45.5% and 39.5% for GPHPEs-1 and GPHPEs-5, respectively.

418

Surface area and the interfacial physicochemical properties are vital to lipid digestion. In the case of

419

bulk oil, the bare water-oil interface could be readily exposed to bio-surfactants (bile salts), lipase

420

and co-lipase during the digestion, the lipolysis was limited by relative small interface area

421

available for lipase.47 In the case of GCPEs, lipase had to diffuse across the interfacial architecture

422

constituted by the hybrid particles to react with lipid substrate. Particularly, in the case of GPHPEs

423

with robust interface structure derived from co-assembled PA-gliadin hybrid particles, the 19

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

424

accessibility of lipase to oil was further depressed. Overall, the extent of lipid hydrolysis in

425

GPHPEs (39.5−50.0%) was much lower than that in bulk oil (87.9%) or conventional emulsions

426

(≥90%).35,

427

activate the so-called ileal brake,9 thus restrict the intake of oil as well as other high energy-dense

428

foods and potentially benefit to fight obesity. In summary, our research suggested that manipulating

429

interfacial architecture may aid to limit lipolysis of emulsion system, as a result potentially benefit

430

to fight obesity.

48

Most importantly, Pickering emulsions slow down digestion rate of lipids might

431

Lipid Oxidation of Emulsions during the in Vitro Digestion. Lipid oxidation occurs not only

432

in food production, transportation and storage, but also under the GI digestion. However, the works

433

on the oxidative fate of lipid under the digestion were still very scarce. So, we exposed GPHPEs to

434

the simulated GI fluids to assess lipid oxidation profile by monitoring MDA content with bulk oil as

435

the control. As shown in Figure 11, MDA concentration for bulk oil was the largest after in vitro

436

simulated GI digestion for 3 h, and it decreased by 49% from 232.21 ± 0.00 (bulk oil) to 117.95 ±

437

12.18 (GCPEs) µmol/kg oil. PA loadings further inhibited lipid oxidation in GPHPEs with MDA

438

content of 67.17 ± 14.34 µmol/kg oil (GPHPEs-5), approximately 28.9% of that in bulk oil. When

439

subjected to SIF, bulk oil was emulsified by bile salts, and the increased interfacial area promoted

440

the lipid oxidation, in view of the increased interaction incidence between LH and pro-oxidants.

441

Interfacial membrane constructed by antioxidant particles served as a valid barrier against lipid

442

oxidation by preventing the interaction between LH and pro-oxidants, as well as blocking the chain

443

reaction of lipid peroxidation through the free radical scavenge route. In particular, the structuring

444

behaviour in the robust GPHPEs prevented the transfer of pro-oxidants from the aqueous

445

continuous phase to the interface region.

446

MDA originated from bulk corn oil in SIF (14.69 µM) within the range of concentrations 20

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 20 of 47

Page 21 of 47

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

447

(10-100 µM) for increasing mutation risk of human fibroblasts.3 In contrast, emulsified oil in

448

Pickering emulsions experienced less oxidation with lower MDA quantities (9.74µM in GCPEs,

449

6.69 µM in GPHPEs-5). Robust antioxidant interface shell derived from antioxidant hybrid particles

450

benefited to the strong oxidative stability of emulsions under storage and simulated digestion. Our

451

work provides a workable strategy for protecting PUFAs from oxidation, under the storage or in the

452

GI tract. In short, the association of Pickering principle and shell PA is a facile and potent solution

453

to limit lipid oxidation of emulsified system during the storage and digestion.

454

In Conclusion. The binding affinity between proline-rich gliadin and PA was used to

455

manipulate the self-assembly nucleation process of gliadin, to construct dual-function hybrid

456

particles. This work engineered emulsions’ interface using the hybrid particles, and fabricated

457

Pickering emulsions with robust interfacial architecture. This strategy facilitated interfacial

458

adsorption and deposition of the gliadin-based particles through the special affinity interaction

459

between gliadin and PA. Pickering droplets as building units assembled into interconnected

460

three-dimensional network structure, giving the emulsions viscoelasticity and ultra-stability.

461

Interfacial membrane constructed by antioxidant particles served as a valid barrier against lipid

462

oxidation under storage and simulated GI tract, in a PA dose-dependent manner. FFA release

463

decreased by 55% from 87.9% (bulk oil) to 39.5% (GPHPEs-5), implying engineering interfacial

464

architecture potentially benefited to fight obesity.
