Physical and oxidative stability of pre-emulsified oil bodies extracted from soybeans (2011)
Journal Article

Soybeans contain oil bodies that are coated by a layer of oleosin proteins. In nature, this protein coating protects the oil bodies from environmental stresses and might be utilised by food manufacturers for the same purpose. In this study, an aqueou...

Oil bodies are small discrete cell organelles
that can be found within oilseeds. Oil bodies have been
investigated previously as a potential technology platform
for use within the food industry, offering stable, antioxidant-enriched lipid-delivery... Read More about Aroma encapsulation and aroma delivery by oil body suspensions derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus).

Stabilization of soybean oil bodies by enzyme (Laccase) cross-linking of adsorbed beet pectin coatings (2010)
