Owen G. Jones studies food proteins and carbohydrates (polysaccharides), focusing on how they can be engineered into nanoparticles, gels, and stabilized emulsions to improve the delivery, stability, and functional properties of nutrients and ingredients in food products. Much of the work involves proteins like whey protein, zein, and β-lactoglobulin combined with polysaccharides such as pectin, gellan gum, or chitosan, and examines their structural, mechanical, and digestive behavior using methods like atomic force microscopy and force spectroscopy.
