Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Leonard M C Sagis"
- Leonard M C Sagis focuses on the interfacial dynamics and mechanical properties of oleosomes (lipid droplets) and their constituents, investigating how factors like curcumin, oleosins, and phospholipids affect membrane stability and functionality, with significant implications for therapeutic applications and food technologies.
- His research on the physicochemical properties of starch granules and gels highlights the importance of granule deformation and size distribution on rheological behaviors, aiming to link these characteristics to potential food applications, particularly in waxy rice starch gels.
- Sagis also explores the structural and mechanical behavior of protein-based nanoparticles at interfaces, including the emulsifying properties of rapeseed proteins, shedding light on how these proteins contribute to stabilization in various applications across food and material science.
