Description
Electro‑spinning creates ultra‑fine edible fibers that enhance texture in culinary applications.
Technical
The process relies on a high‑voltage electric field to draw a polymer solution into a charged jet, which undergoes rapid solvent evaporation and solidification into nanometer‑to‑micrometer fibers. Solution viscosity, surface tension, and applied voltage dictate fiber diameter and morphology, while ambient temperature controls protein denaturation and starch gelatinization.
