betadex and succinic-anhydride

β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-based emulsion gels encapsulated with nutrition for three-dimensional (3D) printing are promising, while obstacles such as low bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds and the molding process in food manufacturing hinder their application. This study intended to develop stable composite emulsion gels using the complexes of chitosan (CS) and octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)-modified β-CD (OCD) to conquer these challenges. The esterification of OSA generated more negatively charged OCD and ester groups, which aided in the combination of OCD and CS through enhanced electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. The addition of CS improved the emulsification properties of the complexes and acted as a bridge link in the aqueous phase, thereby increasing the gel strength of the composite emulsion gels. Moreover, the encapsulation of β-carotene destabilized the strength of the emulsion gels by lowering the interfacial tension. The emulsion gel stabilized by OCD3/CS-0.75% at an initial pH not only successfully encapsulated β-carotene and presented the highest bioaccessibility of 41.88 ± 0.87% in the
