Pickering乳液的形态
如图4A和B所示,在465 nm的激发波长下,代表橄榄油负载姜黄素的绿色液滴分散在连续相中,而刚果红染色的细菌纤维素可以在激发波长为540 nm处发出红光。进一步探究Pickering乳液液滴的微观结构,代表负载姜黄素橄榄油的绿色液滴被很好地包裹在红色的空心圆圈中,说明负载姜黄素具有很好的包裹性(图4C)。
如图4D和E所示,Pickering乳液的液滴均匀分散在连续相中,纯化后的KBC呈丝状,与负载姜黄素的油包覆形成机械和多孔屏障。Pickering乳液的两个液滴通过KBC连接形成桥连现象,可能是由于纯化的KBC的不同长度的纠缠造成的。
乳液的流变学特性
乳液的G'和G''在0.01%~1%的应变范围内保持稳定,表明在此线性黏弹性区域内,PE和CPE样品结构没有发生破坏。因此,选择线性黏弹性区0.1%的应变值进行振荡频率和流动扫描试验。乳液在0.1%应变下的G'和G''均随着频率的增加而增加,如图3E所示。在测试频率范围内,PE和CPE样品的G'值均高于G''值,表现出典型的类凝胶特性。CPE乳液的G'和G''显著高于KBC,这意味着姜黄素的加入增加了乳液体系中的能量。结果进一步表明姜黄素增加了交联CPE乳液的稳定性和结构复杂性。
图3F中的黏度曲线显示了PE和CPE乳液体系液滴间的聚集程度和剪切稳定性。PE和CPE样品均表现出典型的非牛顿流体的特征。

Abstract
Curcumin is a bioactive molecule with limited industrial application because of its instability and poor solubility in water. Herein, curcumin-loaded Pickering emulsion was produced using purified bacterial cellulose from fermented kombucha (KBC). The morphology, particle size, stability, rheological properties, and antioxidant activities of the curcumin-loaded Pickering emulsion were investigated. The fluorescence microscope and scanning electron microscopy images showed that the curcumin-loaded Pickering emulsion formed circular droplets with good encapsulation. The curcumin-load Pickering emulsion exhibited better stability under a wide range of temperatures, low pH, sunlight, and UV-365 nm than the free curcumin, indicating that the KBC after high-pressure homogenization improved the stability of the CPE. The encapsulated curcumin retained its antioxidant capacity and exhibited higher functional potential than the free curcumin. The study demonstrated that the KBC could be an excellent material for preparing a Pickering emulsion to improve curcumin stability and antioxidant activity.
