Aqueous solutions of polyphenols extracted from parsley leaves are mixed with solution ferric chloride hexahydrate to synthesize suspensions polyphenol-coated iron oxide nanoparticles, which then used prepare Pickering oil (n-decane)-in water emulsions. The performance the nano-colloid and emulsions as agents enhanced recovery (EOR) is assessed secondary imbibition tests performed under constan...

A series of superporous carboxymethylcellulose-graft-poly(acrylamide)/palygorskite (CMC-g-PAM/Pal) polymer monoliths presenting interconnected pore structure and excellent adsorption properties were prepared by one-step free-radical grafting polymerization reaction of CMC and acrylamide (AM) in the oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering-medium internal phase emulsions (Pickering-MIPEs) composed of non-to...

I discuss how colloidal particles organize when they are confined by emulsion droplets. In these systems, the interplay between surface tension and interparticle repulsion drives the formation of complex, non-crystalline 3D arrangements. These can be classified into three groups: colloidosomes, or Pickering emulsions, structures that form when particles are bound to the interface of a spherical...

It is well known that solid particles can be used to stabilise liquid/liquid interfaces (so-called Pickering emulsions) [1-3]. A challenge for food emulsion development is to extend the range of particles that can be produced at commercial scale from approved ingredients [4]. Approaches to achieve this will rely on using natural components including biopolymers and lipids. It is also of interes...

Pickering emulsions can be produced using raw particles obtained from uncracked vegetal food byproducts as sole stabilizers. The complexity brought by these non-purified ingredients will their strength since insoluble and soluble compounds shall display good complementary properties, at the interface continuous phase. Emulsions were monitored over a one-month storage regards to oil droplet diam...

Chemoenzymatic cascades are an important tool for advanced synthesis in chemistry. However, these often limited due to the incompatibility issue between two distinct catalysts and reactions. To address this issue, we present a simple multistep one-pot platform, which nanoparticle prepared allow chemo- biocatalytic reactions performed sequentially water Pickering emulsions. The preparation of pa...

In this paper, we demonstrate the functionality and functionalisation of waste particles as an emulsifier for oil-in-water (o/w) and water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions. Ground coffee waste was chosen as a candidate waste material due to its naturally high content of lignin, a chemical component imparting emulsifying ability. The waste coffee particles readily stabilised o/w emulsions and following hy...

Essential fatty acids play an important role in promoting brain development, decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and reducing inflammation. However, they are inherently unstable susceptible to oxidative deterioration due two or more double bonds their structure. Delivery systems have been developed provide effective encapsulation protection for sensitive acids, thus fulfilling ...
