Adsorption of protein-coated lipid droplets onto gellan gum hydrogel surfaces

β-Lactoglobulin heat-induced aggregates as carriers of polyunsaturated fatty acids

“…Structural modifications were attributed to exposure of reactive and hydrophobic amino acid residues buried in the protein (Cairoli, Iametti, & Bonomi, 1994;Iametti, De Gregori, Vecchio, & Bonomi, 1996). Therefore, the induction of a suitable structural modification could be used in the development of delivery systems with improved encapsulation efficiency, changes in binding affinity and/or have repercussions on the release of lipophilic bioactive molecules (Fioramonti et al, 2014;Santipanichwong, Suphantharika, Weiss, & McClenments, 2008;Sponton et al, 2014).…”
