A novel route to 3D printable protein-based HIPEs developed with shiitake oil
Tuning protein-based Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) into 3D printing inks is promising in the food fields. Currently, the correlation between the changes in oil phase composition and the regulation of protein-based HIPEs 3D printing performance is still unclear. In this study, spiking the shiitake oil (ranging from 0 to 60 %) into the soybean oil phase of HIPEs can enhance their rheological properties and induce the formation of 3D printable HIPEs. The rheological tests showed that the yield stress and viscosity of the HIPEs respectively increased from 81.8 ± 4.84 Pa to 309 ± 16.3 Pa and from 409 to 1.74 Pa.s to 1762–2.93 Pa.s with increasing the shiitake oil concentration (0 % to 60 %) in the oil phase. In this study, the spontaneous interaction between phenolic compounds in shiitake oil and interfacial casein promoted the aggregation of protein, which led to the formation of casein cross-linking network in emulsion droplets, thus realizing the self-supporting and printing fidelity required for 3D printing. These findings provide a new perspective for enhancing the 3D printing properties of protein-based HIPEs.
