“…These cosolvents are able to alter the conformation and functional performance of globular proteins in aqueous solutions (McClements, 2002;Saunders, Davis-Searles, Allen, Pielak, & Erie, 2000;Timasheff, 1998Timasheff, , 2002aTimasheff, , 2002b. For example, neutral cosolvents have previously been shown to impact the thermal stability (Baier, Decker, & McClements, 2004;Baier & McClements, 2003;Dierckx & Huyghebaert, 2002), gelation (Baier & McClements, 2001Kulmyrzaev, Bryant & McClements, 2000), foaming (Davis & Foegeding, 2007;Lau & Dickinson, 2005;Murray & Liang, 1999) and emulsion-stabilizing (Kim, Decker & McClements, 2003) performance of globular proteins. The ability of these cosolvents to alter the properties of globular proteins in solution depends on their molecular characteristics, e.g., size, shape and interactions (Timasheff, 1998(Timasheff, , 2002b.…”
