Abstract

as an efficient natural emulsifier. At higher concentrations and under spontaneous emulsification, it produces smaller droplets (up to ∼60% reduction) and enhances long-term stability. This polysaccharide represents a promising, safe, and sustainable alternative for applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.
