TL;DR: The physicochemical basis for the ability of mixed emulsifiers to enhance emulsion properties is reviewed, including gastrointestinal fate, oxidative stability, antimicrobial activity, and release characteristics, which should facilitate the selection of combinations of emulsifier that will have improved performance in emulsion-based products.
556 citations
TL;DR: Computer simulation provides a general link between particle interactions, microstructure and rheological properties, and the role of competitive adsorption on emulsion properties can be derived from experiments on systems containing mixtures of milk proteins and small-molecule surfactants.
536 citations
TL;DR: The importance of this subject in biomaterials surface science is emphasized by reducing the "protein-adsorption problem" to three core questions that require quantitative answer, and several changes to the fundamental biophysical chemistry of protein adsorption are proposed.

TL;DR: This system will be useful for microfluidic bioassays, enzymatic kinetics, and protein crystallization, because it does not require surface modification during fabrication to control surface chemistry and protein adsorption.
Abstract: Control of surface chemistry and protein adsorption is important for using microfluidic devices for biochemical analysis and high-throughput screening assays. This paper describes the control of protein adsorption at the liquid−liquid interface in a plug-based microfluidic system. The microfluidic system uses multiphase flows of immiscible fluorous and aqueous fluids to form plugs, which are aqueous droplets that are completely surrounded by fluorocarbon oil and do not come into direct contact with the hydrophobic surface of the microchannel. Protein adsorption at the aqueous−fluorous interface was controlled by using surfactants that were soluble in fluorocarbon oil but insoluble in aqueous solutions. Three perfluorinated alkane surfactants capped with different functional groups were used: a carboxylic acid, an alcohol, and a triethylene glycol group that was synthesized from commercially available materials. Using complementary methods of analysis, adsorption was characterized for several proteins (bo...
