Abstract:
1. A biomimetic method of using a cross-linkable biopolymer to prepare a stabilized emulsion composition, said method comprising: encompassing each droplet of a hydrophobic component with an emulsifier component; the hydrophobic component being formed into droplets and being in an aqueous medium; and adsorbing a biopolymer component on said emulsifier component that encompasses each droplet of the hydrophobic component; the biopolymer component comprising an intra-component covalent cross-linkage, said cross-linkage the reaction product of two cross-linkable moieties and a cross-linking reagent; at least a portion of said emulsifier component comprising a net charge and at least a portion of said biopolymer component comprising another net charge opposite the net charge of said emulsifier component, said emulsifier component and said biopolymer component being electrostatically interactive.
