Ovalbumin-carboxymethylcellulose complex coacervates stabilized high internal phase emulsions: Comparison of the effects of pH and polysaccharide charge density

Protein-polysaccharide complex coacervates self-assembled via electrostatic interactions generally exhibit superior functional properties than the individual biopolymer. Herein, the main objective of this work was to investigate physicochemical properties of complex coacervates formed with ovalbumin (OVA) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) with two different charge densities (CMC0.7, CMC1.2) at pH 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 and the properties of...
