Wild Edible Plants in the Development
2
of Emulsion­Based Foods
Sergey Gubsky, Anastasiia Sachko, and Octavio Paredes- López
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Today, with growing consumer demand, there is a strong trend towards healthier and more environmentally friendly food. This trend is directly related to plant- based foods. On the one hand, they are environmentally friendly and have sufcient nutritional prop­erties. On the other hand, it makes a signicant contribution to the challenge of a sus­tainable food system that can provide enough nutritious food for all in a world of limited natural resources (Aschemann- Witzel et al., 2021). In general, there is a trend towards reducing the dependence on animal products, the consumption of which is problematic from an environmental, health, and food safety perspective.
A signicant part of foods is produced based on emulsions. Such emulsion- like foods contain natural polysaccharides and proteins as functional ingredients. However, the presence of high levels of oil and animal components (for example, egg yolk, caseinates, and gelatin) in such products makes this food far from being a dietary option (Alae- Carew et al., 2022). The use of egg products is associated with the risks of salmonella contamination, worm contamination, increased cholesterol levels in the product, and increased allergen content (Boukid & Gagaoua, 2022). A shift in consumer interest towards healthy eating, an increasing number of vegans and vegetarians, and the trend for plant- based foods all combine to explain the fact that pant- based food is now mainstream among both scientists and consumers (Aschemann- Witzel et al., 2021).

Wild Edible Plants in the Development of Emulsion-Based Foods 49
In recent years, the direction of scientic research has shifted towards emulsion systems containing plant- based raw materials as emulsier, stabilizer, gelling agent, and thickener. The variety of possible applications allows researchers to use various natural protein- containing raw materials, such as all types of beans, lentils, chickpeas, nuts, peas, corn, soybeans, and many others, in the development of food emulsions- based foods (Ningtyas et al., 2021; M. Tan et al., 2023). Another approach involves the use of individual ingredients of plant origin or a combination of them to impart certain textural and sensory properties to food. An example is the application of plant polysaccharides, such as guar, carrageenan, pectin, starch, maltodextrin as thickening agents to stabilize food systems. There is also considerable diversity in the forms in which these ingredients are added to food formulations. These include isolates, concentrates, aquafaba, powder, and gel (Amagliani & Schmitt, 2017; Ningtyas et al., 2021). After a while, the results of these scientic studies can be found on store shelves in the form of emulsion- based food products, such as mayonnaise and mayonnaise sauces, salad dressings, ketchup, confectionery, ice cream, and others, which enjoy increased consumer attention. It is worth emphasizing that despite the volume of scientic publications in this area, most researchers are still focusing on the stage of a crude food emulsion made using components from wild plants, rather than plant- based foods.
The purpose of this chapter is to emphasize the prospects of using wild plants as raw materials for the development of food emulsions.
2.2 WILD EDIBLE PLANTS IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF EMULSION- BASED FOODS
2.2.1 Main Ingredients of Food Emulsion
Food emulsions are complex multi- component systems that are increasingly used in the world food industry (C. Tan & McClements, 2021). Most food emulsion products are oil- in- water (o/ w) systems, where droplets of vegetable or animal fats are suspended in an aqueous medium (McClements, 2015) (Figure 2.1).
Food emulsion as a representative of macroemulsions is an unstable system from the thermodynamic point of view, in which spontaneous droplet aggregation processes, such as coalescence, occulation, and Ostwald ripening, can occur. All this leads to its destruction and separation of the immiscible phases of oil and water. The role of the food scientist is to control this physical instability and maintain the emulsion in a kinetic metastable state to ensure adequate shelf- life of emulsion- based food products. Emulsiers are used to ensure the stability of such systems. The main functions of the emulsier are rapid adsorption on the surface of droplets at the water- oil interface, redu­cing the surface tension on this surface. The adsorption layer formed around the droplet protects it from electrostatic interactions and is an additional steric factor (McClements,
2015). With the help of such a mechanism, stabilization of the emulsion is achieved, preventing the sticking of oil droplets. The function of a thickener is to change the

properties, mainly rheological, of the dispersion medium to impart a suitable consist­ency to the food system and as an additional stabilization factor. Natural proteins are most often used as emulsiers, and natural polysaccharides and proteins as stabilizers (Kupikowska- Stobba et al., 2024). In some cases, proteins with polysaccharides form mixed or layered structures on the surface of oil droplets.
One of the most important parameters describing and classifying food emulsions is the size of oil droplets in an aqueous dispersion medium. Thus, according to Serdaroğlu et al. (2015), there are thermodynamically stable microemulsions (50– 100 nm) and unstable nano- (20– 200 nm) and macro- (100 nm– 100 m) emulsions. The main diffe­rence between nano- and microemulsions is that nanoemulsions require an external force to form, while microemulsions can be formed by self- assembly (C. Tan & McClements,
2021). Macroemulsions are most widely used in the food industry in the manufacture of dressings, mayonnaise, margarine, dairy drinks, sauces, sweet desserts, and others (Bai et al., 2021). The main problem of macroemulsions, as noted above, is their thermo­dynamic instability (Kupikowska- Stobba et al., 2024; McClements, 2015).
Depending on the type of dispersion medium, dispersed phase and their mutual arrangement, emulsions are distinguished such as oil in water (O/ W), water in oil (W/ O), oil in oil (O/ O), double and mixed emulsions (M1 / O2/ B or B1/ B2/ O) and water in water (W/ W) emulsions (Figure 2.2).

FIGURE 2.2 Types of emulsions depending on the nature of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium and their interrelationship.
Water- in- water emulsions can be formed in aqueous solutions of incompatible polymers such as protein and polysaccharide. The thermodynamic incompatibility of these components is due to the large size of their molecules and the greater similarity of the polysaccharide to the aqueous medium (Dickinson, 2020).
Emulsion gels are dispersed systems that combine the properties of emulsion systems and gels. They are widely used in the technology of low- calorie emulsion products. Semi- soft systems are those in which oil droplets are not only stabilized by an emulsier but also incorporated into a continuous gel network, which gives such systems not only additional stability but also unique physical properties (Dickinson, 2012, 2015; Yiu et al., 2023). Since the production of nanoemulsions and emulsion gels requires a higher degree of homogenisation of the system, three main techniques are used for this purpose: ultrasonication, high- pressure homogenization, and microuidization (Serdaroğlu et al., 2015).
In addition, multiply emulsions such as O/ W/ O and W/ O/ W are also becoming increasingly popular. These emulsions are actually ‘emulsions of emulsions’. Such systems are suitable for creating food products with reduced fat content. Since there are two oil- water interfaces in such emulsions, two types of emulsiers must be used to stabilize them (Dickinson, 2011; Muschiolik, 2007). To achieve a regular distribution of oil droplets in the aqueous medium and to stabilize the resulting system, food emulsions and emulsion gels use additional ingredients: an emulsier (mainly protein, but also a modied polysaccharide), a stabilizer (usually a hydrocolloid or a combination of

polysaccharides), and a thickener (usually cellulose derivatives, modied starches and polysaccharides) (Bai et al., 2021; Lingiardi et al., 2022) (Figure 2.3).
In the last decade, the stabilization of the water- oil interface with solid particles has become a trend in colloidal chemistry of emulsion systems. Such emulsions are com­monly known as Pickering emulsions (Berton- Carabin & Schroën, 2015; Dickinson, 2020; C. Tan & McClements, 2021). Pickering emulsions can become a complete fat substitute in food products. However, the systems with the best properties were obtained using modied silica particles. It is clear that such emulsions cannot be used as food (Linke & Drusch, 2018). However, it has been shown that particles made from bio­degradable materials, such as carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids, can be successfully used for the Pickering stabilization of food- grade O/ W emulsions (Bai et al., 2021; Berton- Carabin & Schroën, 2015). Later it was proven that Pickering stabilization is very useful for W/ W emulsions (Dickinson, 2020).
It was mentioned above that food emulsions are part of macroemulsions. But it should be noted that an important difference between food emulsions and non­food emulsions is their sensory and textural characteristics, nutritional value, safety and ability to be destroyed in the digestive tract (Bai et al., 2021) (Figure 2.2). This determines the presence in the recipe, in addition to the main emulsion components, of auxiliary ingredients as acidity, taste, smell, color, preservatives, and antioxidants regulators.
Summarizing the above, it becomes obvious that the main components ensuring the formation and stability of the emulsion are polysaccharides and proteins. It is these compounds of wild plants that will be the subject of further discussion.
2.2.2 Capability of the Use of Wild Plants for the
Food Emulsion Development
As mentioned earlier, the replacement of ingredients in food emulsions with plant- based ones, including those made from wild plants, has a number of advantages related to
Wild Edible Plants in the Development of Emulsion-Based Foods 53
calorie reduction, lower oil content without losing emulsion stability, reduced possi­bility of salmonella contamination and worm infestations, reduced potential for nega­tive health effects, and the avoidance of animal products. Wild plants can become a source of high- quality compounds for the food industry: ber, proteins, fats, macro- and microelements, polyphenols, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, polysaccharides, proteins, etc. (León- Lobos et al., 2022). Using, in particular, vegetable proteins instead of raw eggs leads to a reduction in cholesterol consumption (Boukid & Gagaoua, 2022).
Many plant- based proteins have an amino acid prole close to the one recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended (Appenroth et al., 2017). In addition, the technologies for extracting proteins, polysaccharides and fats from plant material are relatively simple and not very expensive. They are actively developed for cultivated plants and will not be very different for wild plants. The use of local raw materials, especially wild plants, which do not require special breeding and cultivation conditions, will have a signicant impact on the price of products. Moreover, wild plants are better adapted to environmental conditions, do not need fertilizers and insecticides, some of which have been used for a long time and are well known to local residents (Shaheen et al., 2017).
Environmental aspects related to reducing the pressure on livestock and the envir­onment are important too (Alae- Carew et al., 2022). The active use of plant- based ingredients can reduce the amount of pasture land, greenhouse gases, and the amount of resources required to produce animal proteins. We should not forget about the ethical aspects of slaughtering and livestock processing (Sha & Xiong, 2020).
Recently, there has been a trend towards replacing gluten- containing cereals with gluten- free cereals. Wild grains often do not contain gluten, unlike rice, wheat, barley, and other commonly cultivated ones. Therefore, proteins derived from wild plants can be substitutes for gluten, as they do not cause immune- mediated celiac disease in people who are genetically susceptible (Zannini et al., 2012). In general, these plant substitutes are called pseudo- cereals and are added to a range of functional and healthy products and baby food. The most common pseudo- cereals: quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat are originally wild plants, although they are now cultivated in some regions (X. Zhang et al., 2023). Obviously, proteins isolated from natural pseudo- cereal sources will also be promising food ingredients due to their high biocompatibility, safety and low cost (Mir et al., 2021). Acorn our is also promising for gluten- free products (Martins et al., 2022).
In the literature, there are many references to plants that were wild, but are now actively cultivated, for example, Cannabis sativa L., which has been a source of protein, oil, ber for the food industry for many years (Xu et al., 2022).
However, despite the large number of advantages, it is necessary to emphasize the main challenges and risks faced by the technologist when using non- traditional raw materials, in particular wild plants. All plants that are used for food directly or by extracting certain components from them have a stem, leaves, shoots, seeds, roots, and other parts. If at least one part of a plant is edible, it is considered edible. However, it is important to remember that some parts of plants can be poisonous, unt for human consumption, harmful, irritating, etc. Therefore, it is extremely important to properly identify, collect, and process wild plants (Shaheen et al., 2017)
Excessive collection of wild plants can lead to depletion of natural resources and damage to ecosystems. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of plants. Active
54 Wild Edible Plants
use of extinct species can cause irreparable damage to the local biodiversity (Shaheen et al., 2017). Some wild plants require special pre- treatment to remove harmful substances or substances that affect their technological properties. An example is the preliminary removal of tannins from acorns (Martins et al., 2022).
Consumers have a clear idea of how their favorite product should feel in their mouths. How the ice cream melts, how the spread spreads on the bread, how the butter spreads dressing coats the salad leaves, or how the ketchup goes on the fried meat. The consistency of emulsion products directly relates to the properties of emulsiers, stabilizers, gelling agents, and thickening agents used in the formulation. Obviously, the properties of animal and vegetable components are very different, which may require changes in the recipe, product composition, and technological processes (McClements & Grossmann, 2021). In addition, the quality of consistency may correlate with the instability of properties: herbal ingredients from different producers may have different properties because they are derived from plants belonging to different botanical varieties, grown in different soils, conditions, climates, etc. (McClements & Grossmann, 2024).
Just like the change in consistency, the consumer will clearly feel the change in taste. We know from our experience that 67% fat mayonnaise tastes different from its low- fat counterpart. This is obvious: we can imitate the structure, but it is very difcult to imitate the sensory properties and create a product that is indistinguishable from the traditional one that the consumer is used to (Ningtyas et al., 2021). Another problem relates to the seasonality of many plant crops. The ability to harvest leaves, owers, and fruits can be highly seasonal. This can create difculties in ensuring a steady supply of fresh plant material. In addition, plants, especially fresh fruits, berries, owers, and leaves, have a limited shelf- life and can spoil quickly. This requires special storage and transport conditions (Moore et al., 2022).
As a result, the use of exotic plants for plant- based food production may not always be justied. Good results obtained in the laboratory do not guarantee successful imple­mentation in industrial production. The product may not be competitively priced, or the plants concerned may be rare or demanding in terms of climate or growing conditions.
2.3 WILD PLANTS AS POTENTIAL SOURCES OF INGREDIENTS FOR DEVELOPING FOOD
EMULSIONS
In general, different parts of plants can be used to isolate proteins, polysaccharides, vitamins, polyphenols, and other substances: leaves, stems, owers, roots, bulbs, fruits, seeds, nuts, etc. Often, different parts of a plant contain different chemical compounds and in different amounts (Shaheen et al., 2017). While the medicinal properties of plants have been used by mankind since ancient times, their chemical composition has only recently been studied in detail. The rise in such research can be directly linked to both consumer interest in eating plant- based and eco- friendly foods and the rst signs of a possible global food crisis. Perhaps this is the reason for the ood of publications
Wild Edible Plants in the Development of Emulsion-Based Foods 55
describing the composition and properties of plant- based raw materials and their pos­sible application in regions where there is overpopulation or problems with access to nutritious, balanced food. Plants are often more accessible and cheaper than meat and other animal products. This makes them an important component of daily nutrition (León- Lobos et al., 2022).
The main vegetable components used in the creation of food emulsions can be con­veniently divided into groups according to their chemical structure. Four main structure­forming components can be distinguished: proteins, hydrocolloids (polysaccharides), fats and bers – nanobers (Zhu et al., 2021). In this review, we will not focus on antioxidants and bers, but will take a closer look at the three basic components of food emulsions: proteins, fats, and polysaccharides that can be extracted from wild plants.
2.3.1 Proteins
In general, proteins play an important role in the functioning of living organisms: they act as building blocks, perform structural and catalytic functions. In terms of food, vegetable proteins, like animal, provide foaming, gelling, structuring, emulsifying, thickening, binding, and other properties (Tiwari & Healy, 2023). Recently, the trend of replacing animal proteins, in particular, egg products, with vegetable proteins in a wide range of emulsion products has become very popular. Dairy, butter, emulsion sauces, mayonnaise, cream desserts, and other products could be examples of such a trans­formation (Boukid & Gagaoua, 2022; McClements & Grossmann, 2021). Plant proteins have the potential and prospects to satisfy the growing human need for alternative pro­tein sources (Di Stefano et al., 2018). The most common are the protein components of soya beans, lentils, peas, wheat, corn, and mung beans. However, isolates extracted from potatoes, faba beans, lentils, some weeds, and wild plants, which will be discussed below, are also used successfully (McClements & Grossmann, 2024).
The classication of plant proteins summarized by the Healy & Tiwari (2023) group is really convenient (Figure 2.4).
It consists in dividing proteins into groups according to the type of raw material from which they are obtained:
Proteins isolated from cereals. This group includes mainly popular cultivated cereals, such as wheat, rice, oats, barley, corn, millet, sorghum, maize, and others. The protein content of these crops ranges from 6– 17% (Tiwari & Healy,
2023). Most of them are agricultural crops, so we will not focus on them in this section.
Proteins isolated from the seeds from legumes (beans) and those from trees (nuts). This group includes soybeans, groundnuts, peas, kidney beans, mung beans, urd beans, chickpeas, pigeon peas, fava beans, lentils, cowpeas, lupines, and others are typical examples of legumes. Plant seeds naturally contain proteins, polysaccharides, some fats and minerals (McClements, 2020). Their protein content ranges from 20– 25%, but can reach 40%.
Isolates obtained from seaweed aquaculture. Their protein content ranges from 1.3– 47% by dry weight and directly depends on the species of algae and
