Electrostatic deposition of polysaccharide onto soft protein colloidal particles: Enhanced rigidity and potential application as Pickering emulsifiers

The feasibility of utilizing β-lactoglobulin nanoparticles (β-lgNPs) as effective Pickering emulsifiers for stable emulsions always meets doubts since they are liable to undergo structural modifications upon adsorption at oil/water interface. In this work, we fabricated β-lactoglobulin-based composite particles with desirable properties as Pickering stabilizers via electrostatic deposition. Through optimizing the propylene glycol alginate (PGA)...
