This review is a survey of studies on protein‐stabilized foams and emulsions in relatively simple, well‐defined systems (rather than in food products per se). The emphasis is on the extent of basic understanding developed, particularly in terms of the physicochemical properties involved. The stability of the system, its formation, and its rheology are covered. Unfortunately, much work is of limited fundamental value because of poorly designed experimental approaches and the failure to measure key parameters. Reasonable generalizations can be made concerning the effects of a number of variables, particularly protein solubility, pH, protein structure and the presence of small molecule surfactants. However, several possible explanations of these effects in terms of surface properties remain tenable. A number of observations can fairly confidently be ascribed to the influence of rheology on flow processes within foams and emulsions.
