Abstract

In this study, peanut oil bodies were stabilized using different concentrations of Nicandra physalodes (Linn.) Gaertn. polysaccharide (NPGP) to fabricate composite emulsion gels. The physical stability, rheological properties, and 3D printing performance of the resulting gels were systematically investigated. The results revealed that the composite systems were capable of self-gelation when the NPGP concentration exceeded 1.0 wt%. Furthermore, the gel hardness and physical stability were improved with the elevation of NPGP concentration. Within the linear viscoelastic region, the samples exhibited dominant elastic responses and maintained solid-like properties throughout the entire test period (G′ > G″). Further 3D printing tests demonstrated that the composite systems possessed favorable formability, with printing precision and printing stability reaching 98.86 ± 0.14% and 97.11 ± 0.07%, respectively. Collectively, as a promising commercial pectin-like polysaccharide resource, NPGP can effectively enhance the stability of peanut oil body emulsions. This study also provides novel strategies and theoretical foundations for the structural regulation and functional utilization of oil bodies.
