When the stabilizer is distributed at an interface, the stabilizer can directly influence the physicochemical property of a double-emulsion interface membrane as a Pickering stabilizer, and further influences the impedance capability of double-emulsion solute exchange and interface membrane fusion.
Considering the application of double emulsion in food system, the regulation effect of fat crystallization sites on the programmed release characteristics of double emulsion is not negligible, but the fat crystallization sites in the double emulsion system are difficult to quantitatively describe, even though some recent research evidences show that: adding a small amount of fat crystals into the double-emulsion oil phase to obviously affect the structural characteristics of the double-emulsion oil phase, and compared with the content of the oil phase fat crystals, the influence of the crystallization sites on the structural responsiveness of the double-emulsion is more obvious [ Herzi, S.; essafi, W., Difference magnesium release profiles from W/O/W emulsions based on crystallized oils J Colloid Interf Sci 2018,509, 178-.
