Abstract

The interaction between chitosan, a cationic polyelectrolyte having a pKa of about 6.2, and emulsified lipids has been measured as a function of pH by electrophoretic mobility. The strongest adsorption of chitosan has been observed on emulsion droplet surfaces stabilized with sodium glycocholic acid (bile salt) mixed with phosphatidyl choline at a pH of about 5. The forces acting between layers of chitosan adsorbed on negatively charged solid surfaces (mica) were measured as a function of pH. From these measurements it is clear that, at low pH, the adsorption of cationic chitosan on to the negatively charged mineral surface results in a charge reversal. When the pH is increased (without changing the adsorbed amount), the charge passes through zero, and, at higher pH values, a negative charge develops. The range of the steric force was used to describe the structure of the adsorbed chitosan layer at different pH values. The flocculation behaviour of an emulsion stabilized by phospholipid and bile salt emulsifiers and adsorbed chitosan has been rationalized by considering the forces acting between negatively charged solid surfaces coated with a chitosan layer.

      In addition, the stability of FeCHI-C hydrogel was further examined for 30 days (Fig. 4b). It was found that FeCHI-C hydrogel remained at 54.35 ± 10.45% of its initial weights after 30 days, demonstrating that the amine-rich polymer may provide high stability via catechol-amine and/or catechol-catechol bonds in catechol- and Fe3+ ion-mediated hydrogels [33,34]. Lastly, the effect of polymer backbones was further investigated by an in vivo adhesion test.

      When pH values reach 7.0, the adsorption is most prominent, and the adsorption rate can reach 80%. The reason was that the pKa of chitosan is 6.2 [43], and the solution was slightly acidic. From the perspective of the molecular structure of chitosan, the amines and hydroxyl groups in the molecular chain of chitosan are mainly used for chelation.

      The presence of a chitosan layer surrounding the fat emulsion droplet via strong interaction could help preventing lipid absorption in duodenum condition as well as preventing lipase coming into close contact with the lipid substrate inside the chitosan-fat droplets (Mun et al., 2006). Several studies also showed that the chitosan polymers with high charge density distributed along the polymer chain that can be easily dispersed in an acidic aqueous solution would conceivably possess property of high fat entrapment (Faldt, Bergenstahl, & Claesson, 1993). In this study, among 5 types of chitosan tested, HD1P showed the superior fat-binding capacity at 27.50 ± 2.29 g of oil entrapment/g of chitosan at the chitosan-oil mass ratio 1:40.
