본 연구에서는 친유성기의 크기는 같으면서 친수성기의 크기가 다른 계면활성제를 이용한 베타카로틴이 탑재된 에멀션을 제조하여, 에멀션의 계면특성과 산화방지제의 물리적 위치가 베타카로틴의 화학적 안정성에 미치는 영향 을 평가하였다. 계면활성제의 혼합은 에멀션에 탑재된 베타카로틴의 분해속도에 영향을 주었다. 에멀션을 Brij™ 계 면활성제 중 친수성기가 가장 작은 계면활성제(Brij™ S10)와 가장 큰 계면활성제(Brij™ S100)를 몰 비율 1:1로 각 각 3.17 mM의 농도와 1.00 mM의 농도로 제조하였을 때, 에멀션에 탑재된 베타카로틴은 계면활성제를 3.17 mM 농 도로 제조된 에멀션에서 1.00 mM 농도로 제조된 에멀션에 비해 더 급격하게 감소하였다. 친유성 산화방지제 (tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ))와 양친매성(lauryl gallate) 산화방지제 모두 에멀션에 포집된 베타카로틴의 화학적 안 정성을 향상시켰으며, 에멀션의 계면활성제의 농도와 계면 조성과는 무관하게 TBHQ가 lauryl gallate 보다 베타카로 틴의 분해를 지연시키는데 더 효과적이었다.

The objectives of this study was to investigate the properties and stability of the wet noodles added to nanoemulsion as a industrial model system, and in so doing, survey practical applicability in the food industry. In order to test out these objectives, the characteristics and stability of the wet noodles added to nanoemulsion were investigated and their cooking characteristics and capsaicinoids loss were examined. As a result, the test results showed that the findings indicated that the post-cooking loss of capsaicinoids in the wet noodles added to double-layer nanoemulsion covered with chitosan was less than the losses in the wet noodles added to any other noodles. More especially, this demonstrates that the noodle added to double-layer nanoemulsion covered with chitosan scored significantly higher than the others with reference to their cooking properties, color, texture, stability for storage stability, and sensory evaluation. These results show that the findings of this study demonstrated that the noodles added to nanoemulsions could be produced as a food-grade merchandise because they could provide enhanced encapsulation capacity of capsaicinoids and higher acceptability.

The objectives of this study, which filled gaps in previous studies, were: (1) to find the optimal mixing condition of nanoemulsions containing oleoresin capsicum (OC), Tween 80, propylene glycol (PG), and sucrose monostearate (SES) by microfluidization; (2) to investigate their properties and stability depending on such factors as pH, temperature, and heating time; (3) to measure the effect of adding ascorbic acid. In order to test these objectives, the following three experiments were conducted: Firstly, in order to find the optimal mixing ratio, nanoemulsions containing OC - the mean diameter of which is smaller than 100 nm - were prepared through the process of microfluidization; and their mean particle size, zeta potential, and capsaicinoids were measured. The test results indicated that the mixing ratio at OC : Tween 80 : PG + water(1:2) = 1 : 0.2 : 5 was optimal. Secondly, the properties and stability of nanoemulsions were investigated with varying parameters. The test results illustrated that single-layer nanoemulsions and double-layer nanoemulsions coated with alginate were stable, irrespective of all the parameters other than/except for pH 3. Thirdly, the properties of nanoemulsions were then analyzed according to the addition of ascorbic acid. The results demonstrated that the properties of single-layer nanoemulsions were not affected by addition of ascorbic acid. In case of alginate double-layer nanoemulsions, the particle size was reduced, and zeta potential increased with the addition of ascorbic acid. In conclusion, the demonstrated stability of various nanoemulsions under the different conditions in the present study suggests that these findings may constitute a basis in manufacturing various food-grade products which use nanoemulsions-and indicate that food nanoemulsions, if adopted in the food industry, have the potential to satisfy both the functionality and acceptability requirements necessary to produce commercially marketable food-grade products.
