Advantages

pH-shifting significantly increased mung bean protein adsorption at the oil-water interface

The interfacial layer formed by pH-shifted protein is more rigid than that of untreated protein

At 10% oil content, pH-shifted protein and 65°C preheated pH-shifted protein showed the highest interfacial adsorption
