Abstract
⺠Interactions between lipid droplets and polymer surfaces are investigated, considering effects of surface electrical charges. ⺠Polymer surfaces subjected to UV-ozone treatment are anionic, as determined by electrostatic dye interactions. ⺠Cationic droplets adsorb most strongly to UV-ozone treated materials, which is attributed to electrostatic attraction. ⺠Non-ionic and anionic droplets have weak or minimal interaction with non-ionic and anionic polymer surfaces. ⺠Results of this work are important in understanding the behavior of encapsulated lipophilic components in packaged foods and consumer products.
