Self-assembled proteins for food applications: A review

The development of advanced food materials necessarily involves the building of well-known and oriented micro- and nanoarchitectures, which are obtained through the self-assembly of food grade (edible) polymers. Keeping this in view, proteins have proven to be more versatile building blocks than carbohydrate polymers for the manufacture of multifaceted and advanced systems for food applications. Proteins from different sources (animal, vegetal...
