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…

Thang receives The French Institute Nordic Award (FINA)

Tran Hong Thang (DTU – Denmark), a PhD candidate connected to PICKFOOD, was named Nordic laureate – The French Institute Nordic Award (FINA)

The FINA recognizes the quality of the work carried out by young researchers established in a Nordic institution. Moreover, it aims to promote cultural and scientific cooperation between France and the Nordic countries by participating in the funding of research mobilities in France.
