Abstract(s)
Pickering emulsions, which are emulsions stabilized by solid particles, have gained increased research interest owing to their eco-friendliness and high stability. Among a wide range of solid particles, chitosan particles and chitosan-based particles have become attractive candidates as Pickering stabilizers due to their biodegradable, biocompatible and nontoxic properties. This review aims to provide an insight into the recent advances in the production and physicochemical properties of these systems. Moreover, this paper highlights the research progress in employing chitosan-based Pickering emulsions in different application areas, such as food and cosmetic applications, and environmental research. Chitosan-based Pickering emulsions have opened new avenues for the designing and production of innovative materials. The review also sheds light on the novel materials that are synthesized from these Pickering emulsion systems. Future research directions and opportunities on these promising Pickering systems are also addressed.
