Nuciferine　exhibits　properties　such　as　reducing　blood　sugar　and　fat,　however,　it　is　hindered　by　its　poor　water　solubility　and　low　bioavailability.　Pickering　emulsions　can　efficiently　encapsulate,　protect　and　deliver　active　ingredients.　In　recent　years,　the　use　of　biologically　derived　natural　materials　as　emulsifiers　to　construct　Pickering　emulsions　has　become　a　research　hotspot.　This　research　utilized　an　enzymatic　hydrolysis　technique　to　produce　short　amylose.　Subsequently,　a　ternary　composite　of　short　amylose　(DBS),　zein,　and　pectin　(PEC)　was　formulated　to　stabilize　Pickering　emulsion,　with　the　incorporation　of　nuciferine　aiming　to　enhance　the　performance　of　lotus　leaves　in　terms　of　both　stability　and　bioavailability.　The　study　revealed　that　varying　amounts　of　DBS　addition　had　a　significant　impact　on　the　micromorphological　structure　and　functional　properties　of　DBS-Zein-PEC　ternary　composite　particles.　Specifically,　the　addition　of　0.4　g　of　DBS　led　to　a　notable　reduction　in　particle　size　to　735.2　nm　and　Zeta　potential　to　−29.6　mV,　creating　a　three-dimensional　network　with　a　closely　packed　lamellar　structure.　Optimal　process　conditions　for　preparing　Pickering　emulsion　included　a　3-minute　homogenization　time,　rotation　speed　of　15000　rpm,　and　5　%　ternary　composite　particle　addition.　Under　these　conditions,　O/W　Pickering　emulsion　was　successfully　prepared,　achieving　a　90.5　%　encapsulation　rate　for　nuciferine.　The　resulting　emulsion　exhibited　a　minimum　particle　size　of　4.09　μm,　displayed　good　storage　stability,　resistance　to　salt　ions　and　pH　variations,　viscous　fluid　characteristics,　tolerance　to　oral　and　gastric　environments,　and　slow　release　of　nuciferine　in　the　small　intestine,　thereby　enhancing　its　bioavailability.　These　findings　offer　insights　into　the　loading　and　delivery　of　nuciferine　and　serve　as　a　technical　guide　for　developing　highly　stable　emulsion　gel　systems.　©　2024　Elsevier　Ltd
