1. Plant-Based Egg Substitutes: Foaming, Emulsion, and Coagulation
Analysis and Understanding of Eggs:
A detailed investigation into the structure and composition of eggs, focusing on the critical components and structural attributes that underscore their functional characteristics
Gaining insights into key elements integral to egg functionality
Foam Colloids:
Exploration of plant-derived materials capable of replicating the foaming capabilities of egg whites
A foaming colloidal approach through Maillard reaction, conjugate formation, and complex gum systems
Emulsion Colloids:
Research centered on fortifying plant-based materials to mirror the emulsifying attributes of egg yolks
Delving deep into the High Internal Phase Emulsion (HIPE) system as a potential solution
Coagulation:
A systematic search for plant-based alternatives that can emulate the coagulating properties of whole eggs
An in-depth study on protein extraction, emphasizing the procurement of plant-based albumin and globulin proteins and the analysis of the functional properties inherent to folded proteins
