Abstract Functional konjac glucomannan (KGM) was used to structure the water phase of O/W emulsions containing a lipophilic bioactive compound (β-carotene). KGM greatly increased the viscosity of the water phase and thus the viscosity of final emulsions. Results of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) showed that there is no significant non-covalent interaction between KGM and whey proteins in the water phase. KGM significantly improved the creaming and pH stability of whey-protein-stabilized emulsions (p
