Emulsions stabilised by whey protein microgel particles: Towards food-grade Pickering emulsions [PDF]

, 2014
We have investigated a new class of food-grade particles, whey protein microgels, as stabilisers of triglyceride-water emulsions. The sub-micron particles stabilized oil-in-water emulsions at all pH with and without salt.
