Structural properties of Phoenix Oolong tea polysaccharide conjugates and the interfacial stability in nanoemulsions.

In TPC, the hydrophilic groups of the proteins are linked to polysaccharides by covalent interactions, where the hydrophobic groups are wrapped with the polysaccharide chains with the help of hydrophobic forces to form a hydrophobic core. The unique binding of polysaccharides and proteins in TPC enhances its amphiphilic properties, which can be effectively distributed at the oil-water interface and form stable emulsions.
