This review has been summarized as the usage of plant proteins on
the formation and utilization of multilayer emulsions. Emulsions are applied
in different fields of human activity, such as the food industry,
pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and medicine; and therefore, its stability
and protection against colloidal degradation or environmental stress is
a challenge for producers. O/W emulsions are widely used for encapsulating
bioactive compounds, increasing their solubility and stability. The
increasing consumer concern over safety of animal products points to
the advantage of using vegetable proteins as emulsifiers. The use of vegetable
proteins as emulsifiers reflects the actual “green” tendency in
food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries
