From proteins to foams: understanding the whipping behavior of plant albumins (ProFOAM)

Ruifen Li , Rajmund Mokso , Leonardo Chiappisi & Milena Corredig

ProFOAM is a fundamental research project aiming at understanding the mechanisms underpinning the foaming properties of plant albumins. The project will apply a wide range of soft matter tools at multiple length scales, together with an in-depth molecular understanding of the plant albumins.
The funding will initiate a new area of expertise in Denmark, through the mentoring of Prof. Corredig at AU and the close collaboration with renowned researchers at DTU (DK) and ILL (FR), with expertise in the structure of aqueous foam at the micro-scale.
