Journal Article
Dinu, V., Lu, Y., Weston, N., Lithgo, R., Coupe, H., Channell, G., …Harding, S. E. (2020). The antibiotic vancomycin induces complexation and aggregation of gastrointestinal and submaxillary mucins. Scientific Reports, 10(1), Article 960. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-57776-3

© 2020, The Author(s). Vancomycin, a branched tricyclic glycosylated peptide antibiotic, is a last-line defence against serious infections caused by staphylococci, enterococci and other Gram-positive bacteria. Orally-administered vancomycin is the dr... Read More about The antibiotic vancomycin induces complexation and aggregation of gastrointestinal and submaxillary mucins.

Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG incorporated in edible films: impact of anionic biopolymers and whey protein concentrate (2017)
Journal Article
Soukoulis, C., Behboudi-Jobbehdar, S., Macnaughtan, W., Parmenter, C. D., & Fisk, I. D. (2017). Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG incorporated in edible films: impact of anionic biopolymers and whey protein concentrate. Food Hydrocolloids, 70, 345-355. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2017.04.014

The incorporation of probiotics and bioactive compounds, via plasticised thin-layered hydrocolloids, within food products has recently shown potential to functionalise and improve the health credentials of processed food. In this study, choice of pol... Read More about Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG incorporated in edible films: impact of anionic biopolymers and whey protein concentrate.

Optimisation of octinyl succinic anhydride starch stablised w1/o/w2 emulsions for oral destablisation of encapsulated salt and enhanced saltiness (2017)
Journal Article
Chiu, N., Tarrega, A., Parmenter, C. D., Hewson, E. L., Wolf, B., & Fisk, I. D. (in press). Optimisation of octinyl succinic anhydride starch stablised w1/o/w2 emulsions for oral destablisation of encapsulated salt and enhanced saltiness. Food Hydrocolloids, 69, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2017.03.002

Sodium (salt) was encapsulated within the inner water phase of w1/o/w2 food emulsions externally stabilised by starch particles with the ultimate aim of enhancing saltiness perception. The physical properties of the starch particles were modified by...

Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in prebiotic edible films (2014)
Journal Article
Soukoulis, C., Behboudi-Jobbehdar, S., Yonekura, L., Parmenter, C., & Fisk, I. D. (2014). Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in prebiotic edible films. Food Chemistry, 159, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2014.03.008

The concept of prebiotic edible films as effective vehicles for encapsulating probiotic living cells is presented. Four soluble fibres (inulin, polydextrose, glucose-oligosaccharides and wheat dextrin) were selected as prebiotic co-components of gela...
