Interactions between Pluronics (F127 and F68) and Bile Salts (NaTDC) in the Aqueous Phase and the Interface of Oil-in-Water Emulsions

Pluronics are being introduced in food research in order to delay lipid digestion, with the length of hydrophilic and hydrophobic chains playing an important role in the rate of such a process. Since bile salts play a crucial role in the lipid digestion process, the aim of this work is to analyze the interactions between Pluronic F127 or F68 and the bile salt NaTDC when the latter is added at physiological concentrations. These interactions are...
