Abstract

The modern brewing industry generates high amounts of solid wastes containing biopolymers-proteins and polysaccharides-with interesting technological and functional properties. The novelty of this study was to use raw by-product from the brewing industry in the development of high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) gels. Thus, the influence of the emulsion's aqueous phase pH and the by-product's concentration on structural and physical stability of the emulsions was studied. The microstructure was analyzed using cryo-field emission scanning electron microscopy. To evaluate the rheological behavior, oscillatory tests (amplitude and frequency) and flow curves were conducted. Moreover, the physical stability of the emulsions and the color were also studied. The increase in by-product concentration and the pH of the aqueous phase allowed development of HIPE gels with homogeneously distributed oil droplets of regular size and polyhedral structure. The data from the rheology tests showed a more stable structure at higher pH and higher by-product concentration. This study widens the possibilities of valorizing the brewing industry's by-products as stabilizers when designing emulsions.
