Abstract

Transglutaminase (TG enzyme) was introduced to modify gelatin to prepare microgels, rheology, ζ potential and microstructure of gelatin microgels stabilized Pickering emulsions with different TG enzyme crosslinking degrees were carried out to study the effect of different TG enzyme crosslinking degrees on the rheology properties of emulsion.The results revealed that the crosslinking degree of gelatin microgels (1.85%-12.25%) can be effectively regulated by TG enzyme addition amount.Rheological results demonstrated that, the apparent viscosity and yield stress (2.10-4.47 Pa) both increased, the loss factor decreased, and the recovery rate of temperature cycle test increased from 28.2% to 75.6% with the increase of crosslinking degree.The rheological results indicated that the continuous phase of gelatin microgel stabilized emulsions formed a stronger gel network structure when the crosslinking degree exceeded 6.85%.In addition, the ζ potential of the emulsion increased with the increase of crosslinking degree, implying the enhancement of electrostatic repulsion between droplets, and the higher electrostatic repulsion was conducive to the formation of continuous phase network structure.The results of emulsion microstructure showed that with the increase of crosslinking degree, the interfacial protein increased and formed a dense interfacial film, and the interaction between droplets was enhanced to form a stronger gel network structure, thus improving the stability of the emulsion in the perspective of continuous phase.Therefore, the TG cross-linked gelatin microgel Pickering emulsions are more stable, which provides a theoretical basis for the application of gelatin microgel in food.
