Description
Electro‑spinning of plant‑protein solutions creates nano‑ to micro‑scale fibers that mimic caviar pearls.
Technical
A high‑voltage electric field draws protein jets that solidify as the solvent evaporates, forming continuous fibers. Protein concentration, pH, and additives such as glycerol control viscosity, fiber diameter, and mechanical strength, enabling a caviar‑like texture.
Science
