Surface-active proteins enable stabilization of emulsion and foam systems, e.g. in the food industry. Today, the animal-derived proteins (e.g. lactoglobulins, caseins, albumin) are mostly employed for this purpose, but the environmental cost of their production is very high. It stems mainly from th… More
