Abstract

15

The present work illustrates the feasibility of performing Oil-in-Water (O/W) emulsions

16

stabilized by different protein concentrates, as well as predicting the likelihood of

17

emulsion destabilization over ageing time just after its preparation. To achieve this

18

objective, four protein sources (rice, crayfish, potato and albumen) and four oil

19

concentrations (450, 550, 650 and 750 g·kg-1) were used. The emulsification process

20

was monitored by the use of a mixer-type rheometer. This rheometer was a valuable

21

tool for understanding and controlling the emulsification process through the

22

measurement of the viscosity of the different systems during the emulsification stage.

1. Introduction

33

An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids in which one is dispersed in the other

34

in the form of droplets. Common food emulsions are formed by a mixture between oil

35

and water, and are called oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions or water-in-oil emulsions (W/O),

36

depending on the dispersed or continuous phase.The final properties (i.e. stability,

37

texture or droplet size) of an O/W emulsion strongly depend on the specific

38

characteristics of each compound of an emulsion: the dispersed phase (oil), the

39

continuous phase (water) and the interface. Each one of them has its own complexity,

40

which should be analysed to obtain useful information about further emulsion

41

properties. Among them, the interface became of particular interest in these types of

42

kinetically-stabilized systems. The O/W interface of a food is usually stabilized by

43

proteins, low-molecular weight emulsifiers (mainly monoglycerides, phospholipid and

44

esters) or a combination of them (McClements, 2004).Characteristics of the interface

45

depend on the type and concentration of the emulsifier, which tends to be adsorbed at

46

interfacedue to its amphiphilic character. Proteins are widely used as emulsifier in food

47

emulsions, being considered as a functional ingredient in the formation and

48

stabilization of food emulsions and foams (McClements, 2004; Taherian, Fustier, &

49

(Dickinson & McClements, 1995; Foegeding & Davis, 2011; Law & Kennedy, 1999).In

52

recent years, egg yolk has been replaced by alternative protein systems such as

53

vegetable proteins, mainly soybean and wheat, or, even animal proteins systems.

54

Among other alternatives, rice, potato and crayfish protein systems could be

55

mentioned.

56

Rice industry produces every year a large amount of by-products which involve an

57

undesirable environmental effect. Thus, around 100 million tons of them are produced

58

every year around the world (Li, Liu, Liao, & Yan, 2010). Unfortunately, these by-

59

products are used in low-value-added applications, being mainly incinerated to obtain

60

electricity or used for animal feeding (Njie & Reed, 1995).Another by-product from food

61

industry comes from the potato protein corresponding to the potato skin. Potato protein

62

concentrate from industrial wastes are generally subjected toextreme conditions to

63

increase the protein solubility, as a consequence, proteins are extensively denaturated.

64

However, some emulsifying of these potato concentrates have been found (Romero et

65

al., 2011; van Koningsveld et al., 2006). On the other hand, protein surpluses not only

66

may come from plants but also they may derive from an animal source. For example,

67

proteins form the crayfish Procambarus clarkii. It was introduced in Andalusia (southern

68

region of Spain) some years ago and suffered a fast widespread growth, being

69

considered as an invasive species (Kirjavainen & Westman, 1999). Nowadays, a

70

strong local industry produces a big amount of surpluses and wastes. Emulsions have

71

been made from this protein surplus (Felix, Romero, & Guerrero, 2017; Romero,

72

Cordobes, & Guerrero, 2009).

73

During the emulsification process, the strain and rupture of the droplets are controlled

74

by a local capillary number (Ca), which establishes the relationship between the shear

75

stress and the interfacial tension. Hence, there is a critical value for this relationship

76

that depends on the viscosity ratio of disperse and continuous phases. Above the

77

critical value, shear forces exceed surface tension and the breakup of droplets takes

79

(Janssen & Meijer, 1995).

80

On the other hand, the stability of an emulsion is the key factor considered for

81

performing an emulsion since these are only kinetically stable. An emulsion is stable

82

when the number, size distribution and spatial distribution of droplets do not change

83

over time. Thus, the destabilization of emulsions mainly depends on the initial size of

84

droplets, the rheology of the continuous phase and the interactions among particles,

85

which are responsible for the flocculation and further coalescence of droplets (Sahin &

86

Sumnu, 2006). Destabilization phenomena are related to the presence of attractive

87

interactions (van der Waals), electrostatic repulsions and steric interactions. Then, if

88

attractive interactions are weak, droplets tend to form a reversible structure which

89

favours the stability. However, if attractive forces are strong the destabilization of

90

emulsions may take place through the droplet flocculation and further coalescence

91

(Tadros, 2013). At equilibrium, proteins adsorbed at O/W are able to form a film which

92

has a double function: On one hand, it favours the electrostatic repulsions. In fact, high

93

values of electrostatic potentials are desired for the stability of this kind of dispersed

94

system (Franco, Guerrero, & Gallegos, 1995). On the other hand, the relatively high

95

film thickness that may act as a mechanic barrier which avoids the droplet

96

coalescence, due to its viscoelastic properties (Tadros, 2013; W. N. Zhang,

97

Waghmare, Chen, Xu, & Mitra, 2015).

98

Apart from the colloidal stability, the rheology of emulsions is influenced by several

99

structural parameters, such as interparticle interactions, particle size, shape and

100

polydispersity, continuous phase viscosity, etc. (Martínez, Partal, Muñoz, & Gallegos,

101

2003). Among them, the nature of the interactions among particles has particular

102

relevance. Moreover, other parameters such as the size and the shape of particles, the

103

polydispersity and rheology of the continuous medium also determine the rheological

104

response significantly (Ma & Barbosa-Cánovas, 1995). The stability of an emulsion can

105

be determined through the use of rheological techniques, since the destabilization

inversion or sedimentation provoke changes in the rheological properties of emulsions

108

(Sanchez, Berjano, Guerrero, Brito, & Gallegos, 1998; Tadros, 2013). Rheological

109

measurements are useful because it is possible to relate these properties withthe

110

microstructure of the emulsions, allowing a prediction of emulsion stabilities. Especially

111

interesting are flow measurements in steady and transitory states. Thus, since the first

112

one contributes to describe the real response of emulsions during its transport, the

113

second one reflects the way in which the structural construction or destruction takes

114

place, reflecting also the shear effect (Gallegos, Franco, & Partal, 2004; Guerrero,

115

Partal, Berjano, & Gallegos, 1996; Mezger, 2006). More specifically, the study of the

116

rheological properties during the emulsification stage allows getting knowledge about

117

the shear-induced droplet formation. This characterisation at an early stage is of crucial

118

importance to predict the properties and the long-term stability of the final emulsions.

119

In a previous manuscript, the mixer-type rheometer was used as a tool to evaluate the

120

influence of agitation speed, oil and protein concentrations as well as pH on the

121

properties of egg albumen-based emulsions over emulsification (Romero, Perez-

122

Puyana, Marchal, Choplin, & Guerrero, 2017). The aim of this study was to compare

123

126

as predicting the likelihood of emulsion destabilization over ageing time just after its

preparation. Therefore, characterization of the emulsions, particularly its viscosity and

128

particle size distribution, was carried out to accomplish this objective.

2.2. Emulsification Process

143

Emulsions were prepared in a mixer-type rheometer. This device consists of a

144

cylindrical vessel equipped with a double helical ribbon impeller installed in a RS150

145

controlled stress rheometer, as described by (Nzihou, Bournonville, Marchal, &

146

Choplin, 2016). Different O/W protein-based emulsions were prepared by means an

147

Ultra Turrax T-25 homogenizer from IKA at 15,000 rpm to apply mechanical energy for

148

the emulsification process. In fact, this homogenizer was introduced into the mixer-type

149

rheometer. At the same time, the mixer-type rheometer, rotating at 5 rad/s, was used in

150

order to evaluate the evolution of viscosity. These values (agitation and rotation speed

151

correspond to homogenizer and mixer-type rheometer, respectively) were selected

152

according to previous studies (Romero et al., 2017). On the other hand, the final pH of

153

all emulsions was 3.0, and the protein concentration used was 30 g·kg-1. These values

154

(pH and protein concentrations) correspond to typical values found in food emulsions

155

and were also selected according to previous studies (Romero et al., 2017). Emulsions

156

were characterized in terms of the influence of the type of protein concentrate used as

157

well as the oil concentration (450, 550, 650 and 750 g·kg-1). The emulsification

A mixer-type rheometer was used to determining rheological changes over the

emulsification process, more specifically, viscosity (η) along the emulsification time.

166

This mixer-type rheometer has been already validated for the in-situ measurement of

167

the viscosity during the emulsification process (Romero et al., 2017). Note that

168

parameters are included in an analytical method, based on the Couette analogy, which

allows as to extract absolute viscosity-shear rate data in non-conventional geometries

is the volume of droplets with

8

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT quite marked dependence on the emulsification stage. Thus, over the first 30 s, where

209

the only component is the protein concentrate dispersed into water, the viscosity does

210

not change over mixing time. In fact, no significant differences between proteins

211

solutions were found. However, after starting the addition of oil (from 30s), the viscosity

212

of the systems increased in each case until reaching a maximum value. In this stage,

213

two different behaviours can be found. On one hand, rice and albumen-based

214

emulsions reached a plateau value before finishing the oil addition. On the other hand,

215

potato and crayfish-based emulsions increase their viscosity as the amount of oil

216

increases. The following 60 s with UT agitation did not yield any significant change in

217

emulsion’s viscosity with the exception of the crayfish-based system that suggested

218

that longer emulsification time would be required. Finally, the latest 290 s without

219

homogenization induce a decrease in viscosity only for the potato-based emulsion,

220

probably as a consequence of a damping process after the significant rise during the oil

221

addition. The profiles of viscosity reveal significant differences not only on the

222

emulsification stage, but also on the protein used. Thus, the viscosity of the potato-

223

based emulsion is the highest, whereas the one found for rice-based emulsions is the

224

lowest. Crayfish and albumen-based emulsions showed an intermediate behaviour.

225

These differences are probably due to not only the different protein amount and type of

226

protein but also the presence of other components in the composition (i.e. lipids or

227

starches) as well as the different behaviour at the pH value used (3.0). Anyway,

228

viscosity of emulsions is a key factor for the stability of these systems, since it

229

decrease the destabilization kinetic (Tadros, 2013). Thus, systems with higher viscosity

230

would lead to emulsions with higher long-term stability. In this sense, depending on the

231

protein system, it is possible to optimize the emulsification time as the maximum

232

viscosity is reached.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Figure 2 shows flow curves for all protein-based emulsions studied (rice, crayfish,

236

650 g·kg-1 (C) and 750 g·kg-1 (D) the day after emulsion preparation. All steady state

237

flow curves exhibit a very shear-thinning behaviour, which is characteristic for O/W

238

emulsions (Tadros, 2004). As for the influence of the dispersed phase, this figure

239

reveals that the concentration of the oil has a marked effect on the viscosity of the

240

system. Thus, an increase in oil concentration induces an increase in the viscosity of

241

the protein-based emulsions in any case. This oil-dependence of the viscosity has

242

been previously found by other authors (Pearce & Kinsella, 1978; Taherian et al.,

243

2006), and it is related to the increase of droplet flocculation. The increase of oil

244

droplets favours the formation of droplets floccules which do not allow the free

245

movement of droplets, increasing the emulsion viscosity (Pal, 1992). In addition, the

246

increase of viscosity due to the increase in oil concentration induces an increase in the

247

degree of shear-thinning behaviour (lower flow indices)(Pal, 2000), which can be

248

attributed to the structuration of the protein-based emulsions. As regards the influence

249

of protein nature, Figure 2 also evidences the high influence of the protein used on the

250

final viscosity of the emulsion. Thus, rice-based emulsions are the less viscous in any

251

case, although the carbohydrate concentration, mainly starches, could be expected to

252

increase the emulsion viscosity. However, although the viscosity of emulsions depends

253

on the nature of the protein used, the viscosity mainly depends on the oil concentration.

254

In this sense, it may point account that the crayfish and albumen-based emulsions

255

contain a more percentage of oil due to the presence of lipids in the composition, but

256

this increase is always lower than 1% of the total lipid content. On the other hand, the

257

presence of lipids could lead to a relevant surface activity but lipids in the samples

258

have been isolated and checked that these do not show relevant surface activity.

259

Figure 3 shows DSD for all protein-based emulsions analysed (rice, crayfish, potato

260

and albumen) at four different oil concentrations: 450 g·kg-1 (A), 550 g·kg-1 (B), 650

261

g·kg-1 (C) and 750 g·kg-1 (D). Generally, DSD profiles exhibit unimodal profile, whose

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT maximum value and peak width depends on the oil concentration and protein system

263

used. The increase of oil tends to forward the peak, which in turn means the formation

264

of smaller droplets. The DSD profile is highly influenced by the protein used, since as a

265

general rule, albumen-based emulsions have the highest sizes and potato based

266

emulsions have the lowest ones. The results obtained of viscosity can be related to the

267

DSD, since generally, higher viscosity values induce lower droplet sizes. These results

268

are related with the Capillary number described in the introduction section, where it

269

was described that the viscosity of the continuous phase influence the shear stress

270

applied, limit the recoalescence process and, consequently, decrease the droplet sizes.

271

In fact, the viscosity of shear-thinning emulsions is strongly influenced by the droplet

272

size; a significant increase in the viscosity occurs when the droplet size is reduced.

273

However, these emulsions showed higher viscosity in comparison with Pal (2000)

274

using surfactant as emulsifier. These deviations can be attributed to the higher

275

viscosity of the continuous phase of protein solutions (proteins and higher emulsifier

276

concentration was used). On the other hand, the use of different amounts of oil seems

277

to indicate that there is a more uniformity profile at intermediate oil concentration, which

278

depends on the protein system. Thus, potato and rice-based emulsions exhibit wider

279

peaks when the lowest or the highest oil concentration (450 or 750 g·kg-1) are used.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT This increase in emulsion stability involves lower changes over time, since higher initial

290

values of viscosity tends to have shorter changes of relative viscosity values over

ageing time. However, viscosity is a very sensitive parameter in order to estimate

292

emulsion stability. As may be observed, as a general rule, the flow index ( ) tends to

293

increase over the ageing time, which indicates that the shear-thinning behaviour

294

decreases. Therefore, the destabilization processes (mainly coalescence), which

295

emulsions suffers over storage time, induce the loss of structure, decreasing not only

296

the viscosity but also the shear-thinning behaviour (higher n values).

As for d3,2 diameter from DSD profiles, Table 2 confirms that the Sauter diameter

298

depends on the protein used. However, in any case, as it could be deduced in Figure 3,

299

the increase in oil concentration induces the decrease of droplet sizes and,

300

consequently, leads to emulsions are more stable over the ageing time studied. In fact,

301

when the 750 g·kg-1 oil concentration is used, no significant changes in droplet sizes

302

are observed for all the protein systems evaluated. This long term stability is related to

303

initial high viscosity value, as well as lower droplet sizes. Moreover, the two protein-

304

based emulsions whose viscosity increased until finishing the oil addition (crayfish and

305

potato) always lead lower d3,2 diameter, confirming the relation between the rheological

306

properties of the emulsification stage and the microstructure of the final emulsions. In

307

addition, in general, when the viscosity of emulsion measured in mixer-type rheometer

308

is higher than approximately 50 Pa·s, emulsions were stable after 30 days, according

309

to Sauter diameter results. On the other hand, interestingly, emulsion stability is

310

confirmed by the uniformity parameter ( ). The lowest values were obtained for

311

albumen-based emulsions, apart from them, the increase in oil concentration generally

312

leads to lower

313

general rule, the more unimodal emulsions (low

314

are, since polydispersity systems are considered unstable since larger droplets grow

315

319

consequence of the increase of emulsions stability found. However, once again, in

320

these systems, it is demonstrated that stability of emulsions seems to be governed by

321

the viscosity, as a consequence of the increase in oil and this parameter (

322

323

are more evident and significant between different emulsions evaluated.

324

4. Conclusions

325

Results confirm the high importance of the characterisation of the emulsification stage

326

in order to follow the emulsion viscosity. Thus, it is possible to optimize the

327

emulsification time with the corresponding power saving, selecting the proper time and

328

oil content in order to reach a proper viscosity. In fact, the increase of oil addition leads

329

to a non-lineal increase in viscosity, because a lot of new droplets are not formed.

330

Therefore, the use of a mixer-type rheometer allows us to reach final emulsions with

331

proper properties, rheological properties and microstructure, which are related to the

332

stability of the emulsions.

333

The long term stability is related to the increase of emulsion viscosity found during

334

emulsification, as well as the decrease of droplet sizes. Thus, the initial high viscosity

335

(after emulsification) and small droplet sizes are related to more stable emulsions. In

336

this sense, on one hand, the nature of the protein used highly affects to the viscoelastic

337

and microstructure of the final emulsions since the protein system can affect the

338

viscosity of emulsion. On the other hand, the analysis of the oil amount revels that the

339

increase in oil tends to increase the viscosity of emulsions, and decrease the Sauter

340

diameter increasing the stability of final emulsions, being the viscosity the most

341

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Highlights Oil-in-Water emulsions were stabilized by four different protein concentrates



Oil content influenced emulsion viscosity depending on the nature of the protein used



Rice-based emulsions showed the lowest viscosity regardless of oil concentration



Higher oil concentration produced an increase in the viscosity of emulsions

• Size

Albumen-based and potato-based emulsions showed the highest and lowest Droplet
