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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
238
showed as the mean and standard deviation (SD). SPSS 13.0 program was used to detect the
239
differences between the mean under ANOVA analysis using the Tukey test (P < 0.05). 11

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
precipitation of particles dispersions (Figure 1S). In addition, PA loading impacted the
262
self-assembly of gliadin during the anti-solvent process authenticated by hydrodynamic diameter 12

(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

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

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

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

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.
