Abstract

High pressure processing offers the opportunity for developing new functional ingredients based on protein-polysaccharide complexes for application in the formulation of food emulsions. This project will study the influence of high pressure treatment on (i) the structural and aggregation properties of globular proteins in mixed solutions of protein + polysaccharide and (ii) the stability and rheology of oil-in-water emulsions containing these same biopolymers. The aim is to relate the emulsion behaviour to changes in protein interactions.
