Physical and Oxidative Stabilization of Oil-In-Water Emulsions by Roasted Coffee Fractions : Interface- and Continuous Phase-Related Effects
Emulsions fortified with polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly relevant from a nutritional perspective; however, such products are prone to lipid oxidation. In the current work, this is mitigated by the use of natural antioxidants occurring in coffee.Coffee fractions with different molecular weights were extracted from roasted coffee beans. These components were positioned either at the interface or in the continuous phase of emulsions where they contributed to emulsion stability via different pathways.Coffee brew as a whole, and its high-molecular-weight fraction (HMWF), was able to form emulsions with good physical stability and excellent oxidative stability. When added post-homogenization to the continuous phase of dairy protein-stabilized emulsions, all coffee fractions were able to slow down lipid oxidation considerably without altering the physical stability of emulsions, though HMWF was more effective in retarding lipid oxidation than whole coffee brew or low-molecular-weight fraction. This is caused by various effects, such as the antioxidant properties of coffee extracts, the partitioning of components in the emulsions, and the nature of the phenolic compounds. Our research shows that coffee extracts can be used effectively as multifunctional stabilizers in dispersed systems leading to emulsion products with high chemical and physical stability.
