Microalgae protein-carboxymethyl chitosan complexes assembled via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions for enhanced emulsion stability and retarded lipid digestion.

Microalgal protein (MP) is a sustainable food resource that is nutritionally rich and environmentally friendly, but it has poor structural stability and limited emulsifying capacity, restricting its application in complex food systems. This study investigated the potential of MP-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) complexes...
