    A few protein- and polysaccharide-based particles have shown promising potential as stabilizers in multi-phase food systems. By incorporating polymer-based particles and modifying the wettability of colloidal systems, it is possible to create particle-stabilized emulsions with excellent stability. A Pickering emulsifier (AGMs) with better emulsifying properties was obtained by the Maillard reaction between acid-hydrolysed agar and gelatin. Laser confocal microscopy imaging revealed that AGMs particles can be used as solid emulsifiers to produce a typical O/W Pickering emulsion, with AGMs adsorbing onto the droplet surface to form a dense interfacial layer. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that AGMs self-assembled into a three-dimensional network structure, which prevented droplets aggregation through strong spatial site resistance, contributing to emulsion stabilization. These emulsions exhibited stability within a pH range of 1 to 11, NaCl concentrations not exceeding 300 mM, and at temperatures below 80 °C. The most stable emulsion oil-water ratio was 6:4 at a particle concentration of 0.75 % (w/v). AGMs-stabilized Pickering emulsion was utilized to create a semi-solid mayonnaise as a replacement for hydrogenated oil. Rheological analysis demonstrated that low-fat mayonnaise stabilized with AGMs exhibited similar rheological behavior to traditional mayonnaise, offering new avenues for the application of Pickering emulsions in the food industry.
