Sustained-release mechanism of β-Cyclodextrin/cellulose complex-stabilized Pickering emulsions loaded with citrus essential oil

Citrus oil (CO) is a commonly used natural flavor with high volatility, which is not conducive to sustained release under food environmental stress. This study constructed novel β-cyclodextrin/cationic cellulose nanocrystal (β-CD/C-CNC) complexes via noncovalent interaction, which were used to stabilize CO-loaded Pickering emulsions (PE
