The influence of lipase, bile salts, and polysaccharides (pectin and maltodextrin) on the properties and digestibility of lecithin/chitosan-stabilized tuna oil-in-water multilayer emulsions were studied when they were subjected to an in vitro digestion model. All emulsions became unstable to creaming after passing through the digestion model, as deduced from the formation of large visible brown clumps on the top of the emulsions. The release of free fatty acids and glucosamine from the emulsions suggested that lecithin/chitosan-coated droplets were degraded by lipase under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The amount of free fatty acids released per unit amount of emulsion was higher when bile salt was included in the digestion model or anionic polysaccharide (pectin) was present in the emulsions. These results have important implications for the utilization of multilayered emulsions for the encapsulation, protection, and delivery of n-3 fatty acids and other bioactive lipids.
