The invention discloses amphipathic alginate with response to light and a pH and stable pickering emulsion thereof. The emulsion is prepared from an oil phase and a water phase, stabilizers of the emulsion are nano-silica, the host molecules alginate (Alg-beta-CD) and guest molecules Azo-PEG, a volume ratio of the oil phase to the water phase is 1 to (0.1 to 10), the concentration of the silica dispersed in the water phase is 2wt%, the concentration of the (Alg-beta-CD) dispersed in the water phase is 1 g/L, and the concentration of the Azo-PEG dispersed in the water phase is 2 g/L. The pickering emulsion is high in stability, and has pH responsiveness and light responsiveness, by adjusting the pH or illumination, controllable release of an internal phase medicine can be achieved, and meanwhile, a preparation method is simple in operation process, and has large preparation throughput so that scale-up production of the emulsion can be achieved more easily, and the emulsion has wide application in the fields of make-up, biology, pesticide drug delivery and the like, and very good application and popularization values.
