Description
Electrospinning uses high-voltage electricity to spin fibers from a polymer solution into thin, uniform threads.
Technical
The process involves the extrusion of a polymer solution through a syringe or spinneret, using a high-voltage power source, typically in the range of 10-30 kV. The resulting fibers can have unique textures and properties, such as gelatinous, crunchy, or chewy. The technique can be used to create novel food structures, including fibers, foams, and spherified foods.
