In this work, gum tragacanth (GT) was coated on the camellia oil body (OB) emulsions using an electrostatic deposition technique, and effects were investigated over a wide range of pH values, ionic strengths, temperatures, and freeze–thaw cycles. Special attention has been paid to the rheological features as a function of hydrocolloid concentration, thixotropy (hysteresis loop and in-shear structure recovery), temperature, and frequency. The electrostatic GT-OB surface protein interactions, confirmed by ζ-potential and confocal laser scanning microscopy measurements, led to the reduction of flocculation effects and enhancement of steric stabilization due to the adsorption of polysaccharides to OB surfaces. The activation energy values (Eₐ) appeared in the range of 21.92 to 8.02 kJ/mol at pH 4 as GT concentration increased from 0 to 1 wt%. The OBs are soft droplets with the degree of structure recovery (DSR) ranged from 0.451 to 0.533; however, GT coating showed synergistic effect on the DSR.
