Pickering emulsions emulsified with protein-based Janus particles for food applications
Janus particles are often seen as Pickering emulsifiers, but their potential applications extend far beyond their excellent ability to stabilize oil droplets. Janus particles have anisotropic surfaces, which lead to novel physicochemical properties and functional attributes.
Thang Tran, a PhD researcher at Technical University of Denmark presented his poster of fabricating Janus particles with electrohydrodynamic…
