Article Synopsis
- Oleosomes are organelles in plant seeds that store lipids and interact with air and water interfaces, potentially stabilizing them and competing with proteins.
- In experiments, mixing rapeseed oleosomes with whey protein isolate (WPI) revealed that oleosomes disrupt upon adsorption, creating a dynamic interfacial layer rich in triacylglycerol and phospholipids.
- Findings showed that oleosomes and their components can influence the arrangement of WPI at the interface, leading to increased stiffness and distinct regions formed by protein clusters and lipid-rich areas.
