The objective of the study was to examine the physicochemical properties and emulsification stability of three different Auricularia auricula polysaccharides (AAP) obtained through hot water extraction (AAP-W), hot acid extraction (AAP-A), and hot alkaline extraction (AAP-AL), respectively. The findings indicated that AAP-W exhibited superior emulsification stability compared to the other two polysaccharides. AAP-W was employed as a natural emulsifier for emulsion preparation, to examine the influence of varying polysaccharide concentrations and oil-water ratios on emulsion stability. Additionally, an investigation was conducted into the stability of the emulsions with respect to pH and salt ion concentration. The findings revealed that the most favorable polysaccharide concentration for the AAP-W emulsion was determined to be 1%, while the volume fraction of the oil phase was established at 0.5. It was also observed that the emulsion exhibited robust stability even in challenging conditions characterized by strong acidic (pH 3−5) or basic environments (pH 9−11), as well as high concentrations of salt ions (0−500 mM). Furthermore, the construction of an AAP-W emulsion system incorporating β-carotene was undertaken to enhance the preservation, bioavailability, and digestive stability of β-carotene, thereby expanding the potential applications of Auricularia auricula polysaccharides. This endeavor also presents a novel approach towards the advancement of novel functional food products.
