Description
Electrospinning creates fibers with specific diameters and properties for novel food textures
Technical
Electrospinning involves applying an electric field to a polymer solution, causing it to break up into fibers with diameters as small as 1-2 microns, which can be used to create novel textures and structures in food. The fibers can be made from a variety of polymers, including proteins, starches, and synthetic materials.
