Chitosan (CS) nanoparticles coated with zein has been newly demonstrated as a promising
encapsulation and delivery system for hydrophilic nutrient with enhanced bioactivities in our …

The selenite-loaded chitosan (CS) nanoparticles using tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linking
agent with or without zein (a water insoluble corn protein) coating were prepared to …

Five pH levels were experimented to study their effect on zein structural, rheological, and
antioxidant properties. Structural changes, including secondary structures, surface charge, …

Highly uniform Cu 2 S nanocrystals with controllable sizes and shapes (circular and elongated)
have been synthesized through a novel water−oil interface confined reaction. They can …

Zein is a corn prolamin that has broad industrial applications because of its unique physical
properties. Currently, the high cost of extraction and purification, which is directly related to …

Battling meat adulteration is essential in preserving both public health and a fair market.
This study depicts a method of reducing adulteration in meats, in which Electronic-nose (E-nose…

A novel nanocomposite of silver/titanium dioxide/chitosan adipate (Ag/TiO 2 /CS) was
developed through photochemical reduction using a chitosan adipate template. Chitosan served …

Fast and simultaneous identification of multiple viable pathogens on food is critical to public
health. Here we report a pathogen identification system using a paper chromogenic array (…

Determining the minimal effective free chlorine (FC) concentration for preventing pathogen
survival and cross-contamination during produce washing is critical for developing science- …

In this study, soy protein isolate (SPI) was conjugated with folic acid (FA) to prepare
nanoparticles for target-specific drug delivery. Successful conjugation was evidenced by UV …
