A synergistic gel formed when galactomannans (locust bean gum) interact with sulfated polysaccharides (carrageenan) to create elastic, thermoreversible networks.
Electro‑spinning creates nanofiber edible films from protein solutions.
Electro‑spinning creates ultra‑fine edible fibers that enhance texture in culinary applications.
Electro‑spinning of plant‑protein solutions creates nano‑ to micro‑scale fibers that mimic caviar pearls.
Electromagnetic cooking uses microwave, induction, radio‑frequency, and plasma fields to generate rapid, localized heating for precise control of protein denaturation, starch gelatinization, and lipid oxidation.
Electrospinning uses high voltage to draw protein or carbohydrate solutions into nanofibers, enabling precise control over food texture.
