MASSIVE congratulations to Dr. Ophelie Torres and Feng Xu for graduating today. The PhD thesis topic of Dr. Torres was "Emulson microgel particles: From Design to oral to gastrointestinal digestion". Feng's MRes thesis was on "Towards designing biomimetic salivary pellicle: layer-by-layer assembly of bovine submaxillary mucin and lactoferrin". We wish both Ophelie and Feng good...
MASSIVE congratulations to thePhD Students Andrea Araiza Calahorra and Shuning Zhang for winning the BEST Poster prizes sponsored by "Food and Function" (The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) at the “8th International Symposium on Delivery of Functionality in Complex Food Systems" at Porto! There were two poster prizes and both came to our Lab, Bravo!!...
Research on Pickering emulsions continue to gather momentum as Morfo Zembyla (PhD Student) presents a talk on dual delivery of water droplets and polyphenols using Pickering water-in-oil emulsion creation followed by Andrea Araiza-Callahora (PhD Student) and Shuning Zhang (PhD Student) presenting their posters on Pickering oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by various gel particles (e.g. whey protein...
New Systematic Review published in the in Current Opinion in Food Science on "Marrying oral tribology to sensory perception: a systematic review", funded by ERC. In this review with Emma Krop (Research Assistant, ERC Project LubSat), we have narrowed down 4857 articles to a set of 16 articles systematically using pre-specified criteria to only look...
Oral tribology work from Sarkar Lab was well received at the 8th International Symposium on Food Rheology and Structure - ISFRS 2019, Zurich, Switzerland.by Dr. Efren Andablo-Reyes (Postdoctoral fellow, funded by ERC LubSat Project) gave a talk on "From rheology to soft tribology of biocompatible microegls in complex continnum". Emma Krop (PhD Student) gave the talk...
Big Congratulations to Morfo Zembyla (PhD student) for winning the Best Poster award (1st Prize) at the 9th International Colloids Conference at Sitges, Spain for her novel research on Pickering water-in-oil emulsions stabilized by polyphenol crystal-protein complex. This is an amazing feat where there were >230+ posters. WELL DONE Morfo, the two papers related to...
Representation at the from Sarkar Lab include one showcase oral presentation and two poster presentations. Dr. Anwesha Sarkar gave the showcase oral presentation on "Salivary lubrication explained by a self-assembled binary protein model: A macro- to nano-scale study. Dr. Evangelos Liamas (Postdoctoral fellow, ERC LubSat) and Morfo Zembyla (PhD Student) gave poster presentations on "Friction...
Five oral presentations and one poster presentation was presented by the Sarkar Lab team members at the 20th Gums & Stabilisers for the Food Industry Conference at San Sebastian. Dr. Sarkar gave an invited oral presentation on "Oral lubrication: From microgels to real food applications". Dr. Efren Andablo-Reyes (Postdoctoral fellow, funded by ERC LubSat Project)...
Feng Xu's presentation on a bio-inspired saliva substitute that could benefit the growing elderly population and people with reduced saliva due to health issues, received much interests from the audience at Cargill Research and Development Centre in Vilvoorde, Belgium. The biomimetic saliva that was developed during her MRes research in our laboratory has the ability...
Congratulations Morfo Zemblya for this amazing feat. Her work on Pickering water-in-oil emulsions published in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science has allowed her to make it to its inside cover. Her research funded by EPSRC SOFI CDT and Nestle involves a novel way to stabilize water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions via complex formation at the interface...
