ABSTRACT
In recent years, there has been increasing attention to starch particle-stabilized Pickering emulsions. In this study, the tigernut starch (TNS) was isolated from the tigernut meal, and further octenyl succinic anhydride tigernut starch (OSATNS) was prepared by a semi-dry method. The structure of OSATNS was analyzed and characterized by degrees of substitution (DS), contact angle, SEM, and FTIR. OSATNS was then used to stabilize the curcumin-loaded Pickering emulsion to improve the water solubility and stability of the curcumin. The results showed that OSATNS with 3 %-9 % OSA exhibited a DS range of 0.012 to 0.029, and its contact angle increased from 69.23° to 84.76°. SEM revealed that TNS consisted of small starch particles averaging 7.71 µm, and esterification did not significantly alter their morphology or size. FTIR analysis confirmed successful OSA incorporation by revealing two new peaks at 1732 cm-1 and 1558 cm-1. After 7 days of storage, Pickering emulsions stabilized with OSATNS-9 % exhibited superior stability and curcumin retention compared to Tween 80 emulsions, maintaining retention rates above 80 % even after different heat treatments. In conclusion, this study shows the potential application of OSATNS in stabilizing Pickering emulsions and demonstrates its good thermal stability and protection against curcumin during storage.
