Pickering emulsions (PEs) stabilized by solid particles have gained increasing interest in food systems as alternatives to surfactant-based emulsions, owing to their superior physical stability, reduced toxicity, and compatibility with clean-label formulations. However, many food-grade particles exhibit limited interfacial activity, sensitivity to environmental conditions, or insufficient robustness during processing, while existing reviews often provide descriptive summaries rather than mechanistic integration across particle properties and functional performance. This review examines food-grade PEs from an interfacial engineering perspective, systematically analyzing how intrinsic particle characteristics and advanced particle design strategies regulate emulsion formation, stability, and functionality. Modification approaches are evaluated with respect to their interfacial mechanisms, food compatibility. Bibliometric analysis is further employed to identify research evolution, emerging trends, and application hotspots in food and related systems. This work provides a critical, mechanism-oriented framework that bridges fundamental interfacial science with application-driven formulation, offering guidance for the rational design of next-generation food-grade PEs.

固体颗粒稳定的皮克林乳剂（PEs）由于其优越的物理稳定性、低毒性和与清洁标签配方的相容性，在食品系统中作为表面活性剂乳剂的替代品获得了越来越多的兴趣。然而，许多食品级颗粒在加工过程中表现出有限的界面活性，对环境条件的敏感性或不够坚固，而现有的综述通常提供描述性总结，而不是颗粒特性和功能性能的机械集成。本文从界面工程的角度对食品级聚乙烯进行了研究，系统地分析了颗粒的内在特性和先进的颗粒设计策略如何调节乳液的形成、稳定性和功能。对改性方法的界面机制、食物相容性进行了评价。通过文献计量学分析，进一步确定了食品及相关系统的研究进展、新兴趋势和应用热点。这项工作提供了一个关键的，以机制为导向的框架，将基础接口科学与应用驱动的配方联系起来，为下一代食品级pe的合理设计提供指导。

This study systematically investigated the structural (e.g., surface hydrophobicity) and functional properties (e.g., interfacial tension, emulsification) of hemp protein isolate (HPI) modified by high intensity ultrasound (HPI-U), pH-shift (HPI-pH), or their combination (HPI-pU). The results showed that the combined method enhanced the emulsifying activity index of HPI-pU by nearly twofold compared to HPI. This is because the combined method was able to break down HPI into its subunits such as trimer, while inducing conformational changes into a flexible structure, leading to increased surface hydrophobicity (82.26 a.u.) and a shift in the isoelectric point (pH 6.5) compared to HPI. As only HPI-pU was able to fabricate high internal phase emulsion (HIPE), the effect of pH (7.0 & 3.5) and salt concentration (50 & 200 mM) on its properties was studied. Among them, HPI-pU stabilized HIPE at pH 3.5 (HIPE-3.5) exhibited the smallest emulsion droplet size (45 μm) for future applications.

本研究系统地研究了高强度超声（HPI- u）、ph位移（HPI- ph）或它们的组合（HPI- pu）改性的大麻分离蛋白（HPI）的结构（如表面疏水性）和功能特性（如界面张力、乳化性）。结果表明，与HPI相比，复合方法使HPI- pu的乳化活性指数提高了近2倍。这是因为该组合方法能够将HPI分解为其亚基，如三聚体，同时诱导构象变化为柔性结构，导致表面疏水性增加（82.26 a.u.），并使等电点（pH 6.5）与HPI相比发生变化。由于只有HPI-pU能够制备高内相乳液（HIPE），因此研究了pH（7.0 & 3.5）和盐浓度（50 & 200 mM）对其性能的影响。其中，HPI-pU在pH为3.5时稳定的HIPE （HIPE-3.5）具有最小的乳液液滴尺寸（45 μm），可用于未来的应用。

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), as the most toxic Aspergillus flavus, its ultrasensitive detection is urgent. Self-powered electrochemical sensor (SPES) has become a hot spot of research for its fast responses, simple operation and good stability. Herein, a dual-electrodes photocatalytic fuel cell-assisted self-powered electrochemical sensor (DPFC-SPES) was proposed for AFB1 detection by integrating fuel-free strategy with magnetic nanobeads (MBs)-assisted signal amplification strategy. The CdIn₂S₄/SnO₂ heterojunction was constructed and enhanced photocurrent about 73-fold compared with SnO₂. By introducing TaDp-COF-modified photocathode, DPFC-SPES with dual-electrodes boosted output potentials to 733.6 mV. The fuel-free strategy was proposed by utilizing cyclic reaction of photocathode and photoanode, greatly reducing battery internal resistance and saving energy. Moreover, MBs-assisted strategy was used to one-to-many signal amplification, realizing AFB1 detection with a detection limit down to 0.058 pg/mL. In addition, DPFC-SPES successfully achieved AFB1 detection in moldy corns, providing a further potent indication for food safety supervision and environmental monitoring areas

黄曲霉毒素B1 （AFB1）作为毒性最强的黄曲霉，其超灵敏检测迫在眉睫。自供电电化学传感器（SPES）以其响应速度快、操作简单、稳定性好而成为研究热点。本文提出了一种双电极光催化燃料电池辅助自供电电化学传感器（dpfc - spe），该传感器将无燃料策略与磁性纳米珠（mb）辅助信号放大策略相结合，用于AFB1检测。构建了CdIn2S4/SnO2异质结，光电流比SnO2增强约73倍。通过引入tdap - cof修饰的光电阴极，双电极dpfc - spe将输出电位提高到733.6 mV。提出了利用光电阴极和光电阳极循环反应的无燃料策略，大大降低了电池内阻，节约了能源。采用mbs辅助策略进行一对多信号放大，实现了AFB1的检测，检出限低至0.058 pg/mL。此外，dpfc - spe成功实现了霉变玉米中AFB1的检测，为食品安全监管和环境监测领域提供了进一步有力的指示。

The functional quality of horticultural crops through targeted minerals strategies is a key focus in modern food and nutrition research. Among various micronutrients, zinc, iron and iodine are critical for improving crop nutritional value. This study evaluated their soil and foliar application effects on antioxidant enzyme and mineral enrichment in tomato. Among seven treatments with foliar application of zinc sulphate (0.5%) showing most pronounced improvements. Lycopene (11.52 mg 100 g⁻¹), carotenoids (19.22 mg 100 g⁻¹), phenolics (51.36 mg GAE 100 g⁻¹) and flavonoids (40.86 mg QE 100 g⁻¹) increased significantly alongside enhanced phenylalanine ammonia lyase, peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase activities. Mineral profiling confirmed greater accumulation of Zn (2.43 mg kg⁻¹), Fe (46.76 mg kg⁻¹) and I (0.07 mg kg⁻¹) in fruits. FTIR and XRD revealed biochemical and structural changes. Therefore, foliar biofortification particularly with zinc emerged as practical and sustainable strategy to improve nutritional quality with potential human health benefits.

Honey is prone to be contaminated by hazardous plant secondary metabolites (HPSMs) when bees collect nectar or pollen with these substances. The establishment of a screening approach helps control honey quality, ensuring safe consumption. A novel natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) combined with LC-MS/MS was developed to detect eleven types of HPSMs in honey. Optimum extraction protocol was established through theoretical screening, validation and parameter optimisation. Furthermore, matrix-matched calibration curves of 28 target substances were determined with the LOQs of 0.15–3.63 μg/kg, and the recovery of spiked honey samples ranged from 82.37% to 99.17% with the RSD < 10%. Compared to conventional methods, this approach includes a wide range of compound classes, though its coverage of specific subcategories remains restricted, and it doesn't provide a notable improvement in LODs; while it shows significant advantages in low consumption of organic solvents, simplifying the overall procedure, and enhancing environmental friendliness and safety.

Yeast protein is a sustainable alternative to conventional proteins, but its application requires functional optimization. This study evaluated the effects of high-pressure homogenization on the structural, functional, and flavor-binding properties of yeast protein. Moderate high-pressure homogenization (60–90 MPa) yielded optimal results, however, excessive pressure (120 MPa) caused re-aggregation. Specifically, compared with the untreated sample, the protein treated under 60 MPa exhibited a decrease in the radius of gyration from 29.11 ± 0.86 nm to 24.47 ± 1.00 nm and a reduction in turbidity by 30.56%. Moderate treatment significantly enhanced water-binding capacity, gel elasticity, antioxidant activity, and digestibility. Furthermore, high-pressure homogenization improved flavor-binding ability by exposing internal aromatic residues. Molecular docking revealed that hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions play critical roles in flavor compound binding. These findings suggest that moderate high-pressure homogenization is a promising strategy to improve the functional properties of yeast protein for various food applications.

酵母蛋白是传统蛋白质的可持续替代品，但其应用需要功能优化。本研究评估了高压均质对酵母蛋白结构、功能和风味结合特性的影响。中等高压均质（60-90 MPa）效果最佳，但过高压力（120 MPa）会导致再聚集。具体来说，与未处理的样品相比，60 MPa下处理的蛋白质的旋转半径从29.11±0.86 nm减小到24.47±1.00 nm，浊度降低了30.56%。适度处理显著提高水结合能力、凝胶弹性、抗氧化活性和消化率。此外，高压均质通过暴露内部芳香残留物提高了风味结合能力。分子对接表明，氢键和疏水相互作用在风味化合物结合中起关键作用。这些发现表明，中高压均质是一种很有前途的策略，可以改善酵母蛋白在各种食品中的功能特性。

This study aimed to elucidate the softening mechanism during the fermentation of vinasse grass carp (VGC) based on the synergistic interaction among water, skeletal proteins, and muscle tissues. The transverse and longitudinal shear forces of fish muscle initially decreased and subsequently increased during fermentation, with overall reductions of 64.57% and 58.24%, respectively. In the early stage, the proportions of immobilized and free water increased. Moreover, myofibrillar protein (MP) and collagen gradually degraded with the reduction of their ordered secondary structures (α-helices and β-sheets), leading to the expansion of intermyofibrillar gaps and subsequent muscle softening. In the later stage, MP underwent further degradation, and its surface hydrophobicity increased sharply. Additionally, the epimysium and perimysium were severely damaged and lost their wrapping function, which facilitated the aggregation of muscle fibers into a compact structure, consequently increasing the shear force. This study provides novel insights into the texture-regulating mechanisms of fermented fish products.

本研究旨在从水、骨骼蛋白和肌肉组织三者协同作用的角度探讨酒渣草鱼（VGC）发酵过程中的软化机理。在发酵过程中，鱼肌肉的横向和纵向剪切力先降低后升高，总体降低幅度分别为64.57%和58.24%。在早期，固定水和自由水的比例增加。此外，肌原纤维蛋白（MP）和胶原蛋白随着有序二级结构（α-螺旋和β-片）的减少而逐渐降解，导致肌原纤维间隙扩大，肌肉软化。在后期，MP进一步降解，其表面疏水性急剧增加。此外，肌外膜和肌周膜严重受损，失去包裹功能，使肌纤维聚集成致密结构，从而增加了剪切力。该研究为发酵鱼制品的结构调节机制提供了新的见解。

Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP), a peptide for calcium absorption enhancement and bone mineralization, is a key nutritional fortification of infant formula. However, rapid and accurate detection of CPP remains challenging. In this study, the first external blank matrix-free, on-site fluorescence sensing platform for CPP is proposed. The method relies on the collaboration of CuFe₂O₄ magnetic particles (MPs) and TiO₂@PDA@Fe₃O₄ MPs. CuFe₂O₄ MPs exhibit oxidase-like activity, catalyzing the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and emitting fluorescence, while CPP can inhibit its oxidation. Meanwhile, TiO₂@PDA@Fe₃O₄ MPs can selectively adsorb CPP and phosphate impurities during pretreatment, reducing matrix interference. The platform was verified by unknown milk powder samples and demonstrated excellent selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy (limit of detection: 1.04 μg mL⁻¹, linear range: 5–100 μg mL⁻¹, recovery rates: 96.2–108.5%, relative standard deviations: < 4.6%). Moreover, a self-designed portable device was constructed, enabling on-site CPP detection.

酪蛋白磷酸肽（CPP）是一种促进钙吸收和骨矿化的肽，是婴儿配方奶粉的关键营养强化成分。然而，快速准确地检测CPP仍然具有挑战性。在本研究中，提出了第一个体外无空白基质的CPP现场荧光传感平台。该方法依赖于CuFe2O4磁性粒子（MPs）和TiO2@PDA@Fe3O4 MPs的协同作用。CuFe2O4 MPs表现出类似氧化酶的活性，催化邻苯二胺（OPD）氧化并发出荧光，而CPP可以抑制其氧化。同时，TiO2@PDA@Fe3O4 MPs在预处理过程中可以选择性吸附CPP和磷酸盐杂质，减少基质干扰。该平台经未知奶粉样品验证，具有良好的选择性、灵敏度和准确性（检出限：1.04 μg mL−1，线性范围：5 ~ 100 μg mL−1，回收率：96.2 ~ 108.5%，相对标准偏差：4.6%）。搭建了自行设计的便携式装置，实现了现场CPP检测。

A potential-resolved chronoamperometric strategy based on an H-CoFe₂O₄NPs@CFP electrode was developed for simultaneous detection of indigo carmine (IC), ponceau 4R (Pon), and amaranth (Amar) in a ternary mixture. Sequential measurements at 0.35, 0.56, and 0.69 V in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) enabled effective signal deconvolution. For the mixed system with a fixed 1:1:1 M ratio, linear ranges normalized to individual dye concentrations were 0.1–160 μM (IC), 0.5–140 μM (Pon), and 0.1–140 μM (Amar), with detection limits of 0.044, 0.144, and 0.040 μM, respectively (S/N = 3, R² ≥ 0.994). Spiked recoveries of 94.7–105.3% with relative standard deviations ≤4.81% in candy coatings, fruit juices, and iced tea demonstrated good accuracy and precision. This method shows promise for food safety monitoring.

Inspired by the hierarchical protective structure of citrus pericarp, a biomimetic ternary film is fabricated for high-performance grape preservation. The system comprises an outer gellan gum (GG) layer mimicking hydrophobic epicuticular wax and an inner chitosan (CH) matrix reproducing the cushioning albedo tissue. Eugenol-loaded alginate microcapsules (MCs), analogous to citrus oil glands, enable sustained release. Optimized MCs (Alginate:eugenol = 3:1) achieve 91.0% encapsulation efficiency and biphasic release over 60 h. When integrated into GG/CH films, MCs enhance mechanical strength to over 50 MPa, increase opacity to over 0.83, and increase hydrophilicity (contact angle ∼85°). During 15-day storage, coated grapes exhibit reduced weight loss (∼25.2% vs. 31.9% control), maintained firmness (∼4 N), suppressed microbial growth (1.5-log reduction), and alleviated oxidative damage, along with inhibited changes in soluble solids, titratable acidity, and total phenolics. This biomimetic strategy integrates structural design with active delivery, offering a sustainable approach for prolonging the fruit shelf life.

受柑橘果皮分层保护结构的启发，制作了一种用于高性能葡萄保存的仿生三元薄膜。该系统包括一个外层的结冷胶（GG）层模拟疏水性表皮蜡和内部的壳聚糖（CH）基质复制缓冲反射率组织。丁香酚负载海藻酸盐微胶囊（MCs），类似于柑橘油腺，使持续释放。优化后的MCs（海藻酸盐：丁香酚= 3:1）的包封效率为91.0%，60小时内双相释放。当MCs整合到GG/CH薄膜中时，MCs的机械强度提高到50 MPa以上，不透明度提高到0.83以上，亲水性提高（接触角~ 85°）。在15天的储藏过程中，包被葡萄表现出减轻重量（~ 25.2%，而对照组为31.9%），保持硬度（~ 4 N），抑制微生物生长（1.5 log减少），减轻氧化损伤，同时抑制可溶性固结物、可滴定酸度和总酚类物质的变化。这种仿生策略将结构设计与主动交付相结合，为延长水果保质期提供了一种可持续的方法。
