Multiscale modelling of biomolecular corona formation on metallic surfaces.

In the realm of food industry, the choice of non-consumable materials used plays a crucial role in ensuring consumer safety and product quality. Aluminum is widely used in food packaging and food processing applications, including dairy products. However, the interaction between aluminum and milk content requires further investigation to understand its implications.

Milk Protein Adsorption on Metallic Iron Surfaces.

Food processing and consumption involves multiple contacts between biological fluids and solid materials of processing devices, of which steel is one of the most common. Due to the complexity of these interactions, it is difficult to identify the main control factors in the formation of undesirable deposits on the device surfaces that may affect safety and efficiency of the processes. Mechanistic understanding of biomolecule-metal interactions involving food proteins could improve management of these pertinent industrial processes and consumer safety in the food industry and beyond.
