Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the combined effects of bovine casein or caprine casein and resveratrol on the chemical stability of alpha-tocopherol in sunflower oil-in-water emulsions.  The highly hydrophobic nature of caprine caseins types I and II may improve the stability of resveratrol in dairy food systems.  Previous studies have reported an increase in the chemical stability of alpha-tocopherol in the oil phase of sunflower oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by whey proteins when the cis-isomer of resveratrol partitioned into the oil-in-water interface.  The whey proteins were also useful to entrap a hydrophobic bioactive compound, which is resveratrol.  Sunflower oil-in-water emulsion (5% w/w) stabilized with bovine casein or caprine caseins type I and type II (0.5% w/w), alpha-tocopherol (0.015% w/w), and resveratrol (0.024% w/w) was prepared using a high pressure homogenizer.  The pH of the emulsions were adjusted to pH 7.0.  The chemical stability of alpha-tocopherol was assessed by measuring the change of alpha-tocopherol concentration in the emulsions during incubation at 21oC for 28 days using a HPLC method.  The chemical stability of alpha-tocopherol increased significantly (P<0.05) in emulsions with caprine caseins types I and II compared to bovine casein.  Microencapsulation of alpha-tocopherol with either caprine casein-resveratrol or bovine casein-resveratrol protected alpha-tocopherol in sunflower oil-in-water emulsions and significantly reduced (P<0.05) the chemical degradation of alpha-tocopherol during 28-days of storage at 21oC compared to the treatments without resveratrol.  This information will be useful for understanding the behavior of alpha–tocopherol in dairy foods.
