Delivery of curcumin is always a challenge due to its poor water solubility and chemical instability at physiologically relevant pH. Neat research done by Andrea Arazia-Calahrora, PhD Student recently published in Food Structure demonstrates for the first time that Pickering oil-in-water emulsion stabilized by protein nanogel particles could be a delivery vehicle for curcumin. The...
Thank you Ms. Sameera Rafiq (Research Officer) for being behind the lens đ
Stabilising water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions using biocompatible particles is a real challenge in colloid science. This elegant research by Morfo Zembyla, PhD Student recently published in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science demonstrates a protein-polyphenol interfacial complexation technology to address this challenge. We have uncovered a novel way to stabilize W/O emulsions via complex formation at...
New paper published in Food Chemistry on "Water-soluble vitamins for controlling starch digestion: Conformational scrambling and inhibition mechanism of human pancreatic α-amylase by ascorbic acid and folic acid". In this work by Pallab Kumar Borah (PhD Student, Tezpur University, India; Commonwealth Split-side PhD Student at University of Leeds, UK) with Dr. Raj Kumar Duary from...
Kwan Mo You joins our lab as a PhD Student Welcome Kwan to our team and to the exciting ERC Project LubSat!!
New paper published in Biotribology on "Gellan gum: A new member in the dysphagia thickener family", funded by ERC. In this paper by Dr. Ophelie Torres (Research Assistant, ERC Project LubSat) in collaboration with Visiting Student (Ayuri Yamada) and academics from Tokyo University of Science, Japan, we show how the rheology of gellan gum remains unaffected by...
New Invited Review published in the Special Issue of âOutstanding Young Researchers in Colloid and Interface Scienceâ in Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science on "Lubrication of soft oral surfaces", funded by ERC. In this review by Dr. Efren Andablo-Reyes (Postdoctoral fellow, ERC Project LubSat) in collaboration with our Mech Eng Colleagues, we detail...
A new study conducted by Pallab Kumar Borah (PhD Student at Tezpur University, India, Split-side Commonwealth PhD Scholar at University of Leeds, UK) published in International Journal of Biological Macromolecules reveals how digestibility of starch can be modulated by esterification with folic acid (FA). Understanding the structural mechanism behind altered digestion of starch on esterification with...
Does quality or quantity of saliva change with age? Or it is just due to polymedication? Check out what we know so far in our recent short review on "Agingârelated changes in quantity and quality of saliva: Where do we stand in our understanding?" published in Journal of Texture Studies by Feng Xu in collaboration with...
