This article prepared various ratios of soluble soy protein isolate/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (SPI/CMC) complexes in different proportions and examined the impact of various ratios of complexes on the structure and interface properties of complexes systems. Additionally, it explored the co-emulsification mechanism of HIPEs using SPI and CMC. At appropriate ratios of SPI/CMC, SPI and CMC mainly combine through non covalent binding and form complexes with smaller particle sizes and stronger electrostatic repulsion. The interfacial properties indicated that adding appropriate CMC increased the pliability and reduced the interfacial tension, while also enhancing the wettability of SPI/CMC complexes. At the ratio of 2:1, the SPI/CMC complexes-stabilized HIPPEs exhibited smaller oil droplets size, tighter droplet packing, and thicker interfacial film through the bridging of droplets and the generation of stronger gel-like network structures to prevent the coalescence/flocculation of droplets. These results suggested that the appropriate ratios of SPI/CMC can improve the physical stability of HIPEs by changing the structure and interface characteristics of the SPI/CMC complexes. This work provided theoretical support for stable HIPEs formed with protein-polysaccharide complexes.
