Structurally stable zein-xanthan-starch Pickering emulsions enable quercetin protection and fat replacement in processed meat.
Although Pickering emulsions show great potential as fat substitutes, achieving low formulation cost and high bioactive retention under complex processing stresses remains a major challenge. In this study, quercetin-loaded zein/xanthan/corn starch (QZXC) particles were developed to fabricate food-grade Pickering emulsi...
