Plant protein and animal protein‐based Pickering emulsion: A review of preparation and modification methods.

Protein‐based Pickering emulsions are gaining popularity due to their biocompatibility and alignment with people's pursuit of health. This review focuses on recent advances in the preparation of Pickering emulsions using various plant and animal proteins from different sources. For sustainability and cost reasons, plant proteins are preferred, while animal proteins provide better nutritional quality. According to the type of plant or animal protein, the suitable modification and preparation methods of stable Pickering emulsion are summarized, including heating, enzyme induction, anti‐solvent precipitation, pH‐cycling, glycosylation, microwave heating, spray drying, and high hydrostatic pressure. Different methods were employed to modify the properties of Pickering emulsion particles at the oil–water interface. To overcome the amphiphilicity limitations of some proteins, substances such as polysaccharides or polyphenols were combined to improve the physical and chemical properties of the particles. Additionally, this review analyzes the effect of different protein particle sources on the properties of Pickering emulsions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
