    Proteins are widely used in the food industry as foaming and emulsifying agents (Wilde et al. 2004). They stabilize oil-in-water emulsions by forming an interfacial membrane where the adsorbed proteins unfold and rearrange their secondary and tertiary structures to expose hydrophobic residues to the hydrophobic phase (MacRitchie, 1978). Plant proteins are low cost, non-toxic, natural, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymers. In recent years, plant proteins have drawn increasing attention from
