    Abstract:
    The peptide MOp2 obtained from Moringa oleifera seeds showed good antimicrobial activity. However, the stability of its activity has not yet been studied. In the present study, MOp2-loaded thiolated chitosan-stabilized (CMOp2) Pickering emulsion was prepared and applied to prolong the shelf life of grass carp. The encapsulation rate of MOp2 was 57.7% in CMOp2. In addition, the effects of different concentrations of CMOp2 solid particles and pH on droplet size, zeta optional and storage stability of Pickering emulsions were evaluated; the best condition for preparing Pickering emulsion through experiment was 1.75% CMOp2 solid particles at pH 9.5. Moreover, morphological observations and rheological analysis indicated that Pickering emulsions were considered a water-in-oil emulsion with typical non-Newtonian fluid characteristics. Furthermore, the prepared Pickering emulsion could significantly inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Besides, Pickering emulsion effectively prevented spoilage of grass carp, and the Pickering emulsion-treated group reduced its pH, TVB-N and color values, inhibited microbial growth, and extended shelf life to 9 day at the storage of 4 °C. Overall, the present findings provide a reference for the application of MOp2-loaded Pickering emulsions in food preservation.
