The unsaturated nature of flaxseed oil renders it susceptible to oxidation during storage. Glycated myofibrillar protein (MP)-polyphenol conjugates were used to improve the emulsifying characteristics of MP-flaxseed oil emulsion. The role of polyphenols, namely, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), catechin (C) and gallic acid (GA), conjugated to MP-dextran (DX) covalent complex on emulsifying properties, stability characteristics and interfacial behavior of MP-flaxseed oil emulsion was investigated. MP-DX-polyphenol covalent complexes were more effective in decreasing creaming index within 24 h while increasing apparent viscosity, oxidation stability and forming more uniform emulsion. Furthermore, the concentration of interfacial proteins around oil droplets increased with polyphenols conjugation (from 3.78 to 9.52 mg/m2), especially with conjugation by EGCG (9.52 mg/m2), thereby contributing to an enhancement in flaxseed emulsion stability. Glycated MP-polyphenol conjugate was a promising emulsion stabilizer to effectively increase emulsion characteristics of flaxseed emulsion. • Polyphenols improved emulsifying properties of glycated myofibrillar protein. • Emulsions stabilized by ternary conjugates showed lower creaming index. • Ternary conjugates improved oxidation stability of flaxseed oil emulsions. • Ternary conjugates increased the interfacial proteins surrounding oil droplets.
