Abstract

The O/W emulsions were prepared using perilla seed oil (PSO) dispersed in soy sauce (PSE) and in distilled water (PWE), respectively. Octenyl succinic anhydride-modified starch (OSA starch, 3 wt%) showed the most efficient emulsifying ability and its stabilities of emulsion and oxidation in PSE and PWE were studied at different storage periods (0, 4, and 8 weeks) and temperatures (4, 25, and 40 °C). Negligible change in droplet diameter of PSE was observed without coalescence or flocculation during storing for 8 weeks at 4 °C. The stabilizing ability of OSA-starch despite the high ionic strength of soy sauce is attributed to the starch backbone, which promotes steric repulsions between droplets. A lower oxidation degree was observed for PSE prepared than PWE and PSO under all storage conditions. Thus, the O/W emulsion prepared from PSO and soy sauce can be applied to the production of ω-3 fatty acid-enriched Asian-style emulsified products.
