    Abstract:
    To make stable Pickering emulsion in stomach acid condition which are suitable for small intestine targeted delivery, the emulsifying ability and pH responsiveness mechanisms of octenyl succinate anhydride modified amylose (OSA-AM) with the formless state and nanoparticles (NP) form in the Pickering emulsion were compared. OSA-AMs and OSA-AM NPs were obtained by successively modification of OSA esterification reaction with amylose and nanoprecipitation process, respectively. OSA-AM NPs showed higher contact angle and lower interfacial tension than OSA-AMs, which suggested OSA-AM NPs have the stronger ability to form stable Pickering emulsion. In addition, to compare the stability of Pickering emulsion in different environment, the emulsion index (EI), photographs and microscopy images during storage time of 180 days in pH 2.0, pH 4.0 and pH 7.0 were monitored. Pickering emulsion formed by OSA-AM NPs exhibited stronger stability in acid environment (pH 2.0) than pH 4.0 and pH 7.0. However, Pickering emulsion stabilized by OSA-AMs presented the opposite pH-responsive behaviors with OSA-AM NPs. To further study the pH responsiveness mechanisms of Pickering emulsion, the morphology, contact angle, particle size and surface charge of OSA-AMs and OSA-AM NPs with pH changing were measured. These results suggested that the protonation/deprotonation process of carboxyl groups in difference pH condition revealed the pH-responsible behaviors of Pickering emulsion.
