Emulsions as Delivery Systems

Controlling Reactivity in Emulsions

Fig. 1. The impact of pH on the surface charge of whey protein isolate (WPI) stabilized salmon oil-in-water emulsions (A) and the differences in lipid oxidation rates (as measured by headspace propanal when the emulsion droplet is positively (pH 3 and 4) versus negatively (pH 6 and 7) charged) (B). Adapted by Hu et al., 2003. Figure reprinted from Warharo, McClements and Decker 2011
