- emulsions containing tri-layer coated lipid droplets were prepared using a method that utilizes food-grade ingredients (lecithin, chitosan, pectin) and standard preparation procedures (homogenization, mixing). Initially, a primary emulsion containing small anionic capsules was produced by homogenization of oil, water and lecithin.
- a secondary emulsion containing cationic capsules coated with a lecithin-chitosan membrane was then produced by mixing a chitosan solution with the primary emulsion, and applying mechanical agitation to disrupt any floes formed.
- a tertiary emulsion containing anionic capsules coated with a lecithin-chitosan-pectin membrane was then produced by mixing a pectin solution with the secondary emulsion, and again applying mechanical agitation to disrupt any floes formed.
- the capsules in the tertiary emulsions had good stability to aggregation and creaming over a wide range of pH values (pH 4-8 at 0 mM NaCl, and pH 3-8 at 100 mM NaCl).
- pH values pH 4-8 at 0 mM NaCl, and pH 3-8 at 100 mM NaCl.
- emulsion compositions comprising oil droplets stabilized by SDS-chitosan-pectin membranes remain intact during digestion even after the bile (pH 5.3) was added to the system. Extensive aggregation was observed by optical microscopy when the pH was adjusted to pH 7.5 and the oil droplets were observed to be immobilized within the dietary fiber matrix.
- interfacial membranes comprising at least one substantially indigestible food-grade component, such as an indigestible polysaccharide component, are not only useful in protecting the hydrophobic component, particularly lipid components, from digestion, but are useful in improving the stability of emulsions to environmental stresses, such as freezing and heating.
- the present invention also relates to a method of utilizing encapsulated or emulsified lipid compositions to control digestion and/or uptake of fat and calories, such a method comprising (1) providing an emulsion system containing at least one fat/oil component encapsulated by at least one indigestible food-grade component and (2) incorporating the emulsion system into one of a food and a beverage product.

- the emulsions are stabilized under appropriate environmental conditions, whereby the lipid, fiber, emulsifier and/or polymeric components are selected based on the temperature, pH, salt concentration, and ionic strength appropriate for the processing and end-use application of the food and/or beverage product.
- each interfacial membrane encapsulating the lipid component thereby permitting selection of materials that do not alter the physicochemical and sensory properties of the encapsulated lipids and permitting such encapsulated lipids to be readily substituted into food or beverage products without impacting the taste, appearance, texture and stability of the products. Because at least one of the interfacial membranes of the encapsulated lipid component is an indigestible food-grade material, the lipid component, once incorporated into a food or beverage product will not be available for digestion (or degradation by digestive enzymes and subsequent absorption by the digestive system).
- Such food or beverage products suitable for substitution with encapsulated lipid components can include any emulsion-based foodstuff described herein or as would otherwise be known to those skilled in the art including, but not limited to, mayonnaise, spreads, beverages, puddings, soups, coffee whiteners, and desserts (ice creams, etc).

- Powdered lecithin (Ultralec P; Acetone Insolubles, 97.5%; Acid Value, 27.9 mg per g; Peroxide value, 0.9 mEq per kg; Moisture, 0.77 wt%) was obtained from ADM-Lecithin (Decatur, IL).
- Powdered pectin (TIC PRETESTED, Prehydrated pectin, High Methoxyl, rapid set powder) was obtained from TIC GUMS (Belcamp, MD). Analytical grade sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and acetic acid were purchased from the Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO). Distilled and de-ionized water was used for the preparation of all solutions. Solution Preparation.
- a stock buffer solution was prepared by dispersing 100 mM acetic acid in water and then adjusting the pH to 3.0 using 1 M HCl.
- a chitosan solution was prepared by dispersing 0.2 wt% powdered chitosan into stock buffer solution.
- a pectin solution was prepared by dispersing 0.4 wt % powdered pectin into stock buffer solution.
- An emulsifier solution was prepared by dispersing 1.0 wt% lecithin powder into buffer solution. The emulsifier solution was sonicated for 30 seconds at a frequency of 20 kHz, amplitude of 40% and duty cycle of 0.5 s (Model 500, Sonic Disembrator, Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) to disperse the lecithin.
- Emulsions Particle size measurements. Emulsions were diluted to a droplet concentration of approximately 0.005 wt% using buffer solution to avoid multiple scattering effects.
- the ⁇ -potential was then determined by measuring the direction and velocity of droplet movement in a well-defined electric field. The ⁇ -potential measurements are reported as the mean and standard deviation of two separate injections, with five readings made per injection.
- Creaming stability measurements Approximately 3.5 g samples of diluted emulsion (0.005 wt% oil) were transferred into 1-cm pathlength plastic spectrophotometer cuvettes, and then stored at 30°C for 7 days. The turbidity (at 600 nm) of the emulsions was then measured using an UV- visible spectrophotometer (Spectronic 21D, Milton Roy, Rochester, NY).
- the light beam passed through the emulsions at a height that was about 10 mm from the cuvette bottom, i.e., about 30% of the emulsion's height.
- the oil droplets in the emulsions moved upwards due to gravity, which led to the formation of a relatively clear droplet-depleted serum layer at the bottom of the cuvette.
- An appreciable decrease in emulsion turbidity was therefore an indication of the fact that the serum layer had risen to at least 30% of the emulsion's height.
- a primary emulsion was prepared by homogenizing 5 wt% com oil with 95 wt% aqueous emulsifier solution in a high-speed blender (M133/1281- 0, Biospec Products, Inc., ESGC, Switzerland) followed by two passes at 4,000 psi through a two-stage high-pressure valve homogenizer (LAB 1000, APV-Gaulin, Wilmington, MA).
- a secondary emulsion was prepared by mixing the primary emulsion with appropriate amounts of chitosan solution and buffer solution to obtain a final concentration of 1 wt% corn oil, 0.2 wt% lecithin, 0.0155 wt% chitosan, 100 mM acetic acid (pH 3.0).
- Example 2a Influence of pectin concentration on droplet charge.
- the electrical charge and mean droplet diameter of tertiary emulsions (0.5 wt% corn oil, 0.1 wt% lecithin, 0.0078 wt% chitosan, 100 mM acetic acid, pH 3.0) containing different pectin concentrations (0 to 0.02 wt%) was measured.
- Example 2b Influence of pectin concentration on particle size.
- the mean particle diameter of tertiary emulsions was measured 24 hours after pectin was mixed with the secondary emulsions ( Figure 3).
- the emulsion was stable to droplet aggregation in the absence of pectin.
- At pectin concentrations from 0.002 to 0.006 wt% extensive droplet aggregation was observed in the emulsions.
- Droplet aggregation was so extensive that we were unable to make reliable particle sizing measurements using the laser diffraction technique, either because the aggregates were too large or because their concentration was too small to give a scattering pattern that was sufficiently different from that of the background.
- Example 3 a A tertiary emulsion was prepared with a composition of 0.5 wt% corn oil, 0.1 wt% lecithin, 0.0078 wt% chitosan, 0.02 wt% pectin, and 100 mM acetic acid (pH 3.0).
- any floes formed in this emulsion were disrupted by passing it twice through a high pressure value homogenizer at 4000 psi.
- a series of dilute emulsions ( ⁇ 0.005 wt% corn oil) with different pH (3 to 8) and ionic strength (0 or 100 mM NaCl) were formed by diluting primary, secondary and tertiary emulsions with distilled water or NaCl solutions and then adjusting the pH with HCl or NaOH.
- These emulsions could be analyzed directly by laser diffraction, particle electrophoresis and turbidity techniques without the need of further dilution.
- Example 3b Affect on Droplet Charge - Primary Emulsions.
- the ⁇ -potential of the droplets in the primary emulsions was negative at all pH values, but was appreciably more negative at high than at low pH ( Figure 4).
- the droplet charge was probably less negative at low pH because a smaller fraction of the adsorbed lecithin molecules were ionized, since the pK a value of the anionic phosphate groups on lecithin is around pH 1.5.
- the magnitude of the electrical charge on the droplets in the primary emulsions decreased upon the addition of salt, e.g., the ⁇ -potential changed from -42 to -13 mV at pH 3 when the NaCl was increased from 0 to 100 mM ( Figures 4a and 4b). This reduction can be attributed to electrostatic screening effects, which cause a reduction in the surface charge potential of colloidal particles with increasing ionic strength.
- the ⁇ -potential in the tertiary emulsions was slightly positive (+8 mV) in the absence of salt, which suggests that the negative charge on the adsorbed pectin molecules was insufficient to overcome the high positive charge on the lecithin-chitosan coated droplets (+38 mV).
- the pK a value of the carboxylic groups on pectin is usually around pH 4 to 5, hence pectin has a smaller negative charge at low pH than at high pH. Consequently, its effectiveness at decreasing the positive charge on the lecithin- chitosan coated droplets would have been reduced at this low pH.
- the ⁇ -potential of the tertiary emulsions was less negative than in the primary emulsions in the presence and absence of salt.
- the ⁇ -potential of the tertiary emulsions was less negative than that of the secondary emulsions in the absence of salt, but more negative in the presence of salt.
- the precise reason for these differences is currently unclear, but is probably associated with changes in the composition and structure of the interfacial membranes in the primary, secondary and tertiary emulsions with pH and ionic strength.
- the magnitude of the ⁇ -potential decreased when the salt concentration was increased from 0 to 100 mM NaCl, presumably due to electrostatic screening effects.
- Example 4a Affect on Droplet Aggregation - Primary Emulsions.
- the droplets in the primary emulsions were relatively stable to extensive droplet aggregation at all pH and NaCl values (Figure 5). Nevertheless, the particles in the emulsions stored at low pH values (pH 3 and 4) in the presence of salt (Figure 5b) were significantly larger than those in the emulsions stored in the absence of salt ( Figure 5a).
- d 32 2.1 + 0.2 ⁇ m at 100 mM NaCl and 0.91 ⁇ 0.09 ⁇ m at 0 mM NaCl.
- Droplet aggregation at low pH and high salt may have been because the reduced charge on the lecithin molecules combined with the increased electrostatic screening caused a reduction in the electrostatic repulsion between the droplets.
- salt reduces the curvature of phosphohpid membranes by reducing the effective head group size of the polar lipids, which favors droplet coalescence in emulsions.
- Example 4b Affect on Droplet Aggregation - Secondary Emulsions. In the absence of added NaCl, the droplets in the secondary emulsions were relatively stable to droplet aggregation at low (pH 3 and 4) and high (pH 8) pH values, but were highly unstable at intermediate pH values (Figure 5a).
- the droplets were probably stable to droplet aggregation at pH 3 because the high positive charge on the droplets led to strong electrostatic repulsion between the droplets.
- the chitosan molecules began to lose their positive charge (pK a ⁇ 6.3 to 7), and hence the charge on the droplets decreased.
- the chitosan molecules would be less strongly held to the surface of the lecithin coated droplets because the electrostatic attraction between cationic chitosan and the anionic lecithin molecules would be reduced. Consequently, some of the chitosan molecules may have been completely or partly displaced from the surface of the emulsion droplets.
- chitosan molecules could then act as polymeric bridges that held the negatively charged lecithin coated droplets together. Bridging flocculation may therefore have been responsible for the high degree of droplet aggregation observed at intermediate (pH 5 to 7) pH values.
- the emulsion may have become more stable to droplet aggregation at pH 8 because the chitosan molecules had lost most of the positive charge, and were therefore not as effective at inducing bridging flocculation.
- the emulsions were still relatively stable to flocculation at low pH values (pH 3 and 4), but were unstable at all higher values.
- Example 4c Affect on Droplet Aggregation - Tertiary Emulsions.
- the droplets in the tertiary emulsions were stable to droplet aggregation at all pH values in the absence and presence of salt, with the exception of the pH 3 emulsion at 0 mM NaCl ( Figure 5 a). Aggregation probably occurred in this emulsion because the droplets had a small ⁇ -potential ( Figure 4a) so that the electrostatic repulsion between them was relatively weak.
- Example 5 Affect on Creaming Stability. The creaming stability of the diluted emulsions was determined by measuring the turbidity at 30% of their height after 1 week storage ( Figure 6). If extensive droplet aggregation occurred, then it would be expected that the turbidity would be reduced because floes cream more rapidly than individual droplets. All emulsions were more stable to creaming in the absence of salt than in its presence.
- the primary emulsions were relatively stable to creaming at all pH values in the absence of salt, but exhibited some creaming at low pH (pH 3-5) in the presence of salt.
- the secondary emulsions were highly susceptible to creaming at intermediate pH values (pH 4-7) in the absence of salt, and at all pH values in the presence of salt.
- the droplets in the tertiary emulsions were relatively stable to creaming at all pH in the absence and presence of salt, with the exception of the pH 3 emulsion at 0 mM NaCl.
- the creaming stability measurements therefore largely supported the particle size measurements made using laser diffraction (Figure 5).
- Emulsions with relatively small particles tended to be more stable to creaming.
- the tertiary emulsions may have been stable to droplet aggregation because of the relatively strong electrostatic and steric repulsion associated with the relatively thick and electrically charged three-layer interfacial membrane.
- the creaming stability may have been improved because the multiple layers increased the overall density of the droplets, thereby reducing the density contrast between the dispersed and continuous phases and decreasing the driving force for gravitational separation.

- the ⁇ -potential was then determined by measuring the direction and velocity of droplet movement in a well-defined electric field using a particle electrophoresis instrument (ZEM5003, Zetamaster, Malvern Instruments, Worcs., UK).
- Emulsion Preparation and Characterization A corn oil-in-water emulsion was prepared that was stabilized by SDS-chitosan-pectin membranes (5mM/kg SDS, 0.225% chitosan, 0.5% pectin, lOOmM acetate buffer, pH3). Chitosan and pectin are considered to be dietary fibers, and therefore the interfacial membrane surrounding the oil droplets in these emulsions consisted of dietary fiber.
- the emulsion was prepared using a multistage procedure.
- First, primary emulsions containing anionic droplets ( ⁇ « -75 mV, d 3 0.44 ⁇ m) stabilized by SDS membranes were prepared using a sonicator.
- tertiary emulsions containing anionic droplets ( ⁇ « -10 mV) stabilized by SDS- chitosan-pectin membranes were formed by diluting the secondary emulsion with aqueous pectin solution.
- Example 6B In vitro Digestion Model. The emulsions were subjected to the following in vitro digestion model. First, 9g of emulsion was placed in a 50 ml screw capped bottle. About 0.25 ml IN HCL was added and the pH was adjusted to about 2 using IN HCL. The emulsion was incubated at approximately 37 C for about 1 hour, mixing at 95 rpm. The pH was adjusted to about 5.3 with 0.9 M sodium bicarbonate.
