Crystallisation in water-in-cocoa butter emulsions: role of the dispersed phase on fat crystallisation and polymorphic transition (2016)
Journal Article
Di Bari, V., Macnaughtan, W., Norton, J., Sullo, A., & Norton, I. (2017). Crystallisation in water-in-cocoa butter emulsions: role of the dispersed phase on fat crystallisation and polymorphic transition. Food Structure, 12, 82-93. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foostr.2016.10.001

The present work is one of the first to focus on the role of emulsified water droplets on the crystallisation behaviour of water-in-cocoa butter emulsions under quiescent conditions (i.e. absence of any externally applied force). Cocoa butter (CB) sy... Read More about Crystallisation in water-in-cocoa butter emulsions: role of the dispersed phase on fat crystallisation and polymorphic transition.

Polysaccharide structures and interactions in a lithium chloride/urea/water solvent (2016)
Journal Article
Winkworth-Smith, C. G., Macnaughtan, W., & Foster, T. (2016). Polysaccharide structures and interactions in a lithium chloride/urea/water solvent. Carbohydrate Polymers, 149, 231-241. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2016.04.102

The molten salt hydrate, lithium chloride (LiCl)/urea/water has previously been shown to swell cellulose, but there has so far been no work done to explore its effect on other polysaccharides. In this paper we have investigated the solvent effects of... Read More about Polysaccharide structures and interactions in a lithium chloride/urea/water solvent.

New insights into xanthan synergistic interactions with konjacglucomannan: a novel interaction mechanism proposal (2016)
Journal Article
Abbaszadeh, A., Macnaughtan, W., Sworn, G., & Foster, T. J. (2016). New insights into xanthan synergistic interactions with konjacglucomannan: a novel interaction mechanism proposal. Carbohydrate Polymers, 144, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2016.02.026

The interactions of xanthans containing precise acetate and pyruvate concentration with Konjac gluco-mannan (KGM) were studied at different sodium chloride and polymer concentrations. A new unifiedmodel of the interaction is proposed, taking into acc... Read More about New insights into xanthan synergistic interactions with konjacglucomannan: a novel interaction mechanism proposal.
