Protease-assisted microencapsulation of carvacrol in pea protein systems for enhanced and durable antibiofilm activity
Developing dry antimicrobial delivery systems that combine bioactive protection with biofilm-matrix disruption remains a major challenge. Building on a previously established protease-modulated pea protein isolate (PPI)-carvacrol nanoemulsion system, this study developed protease-assisted microcapsules designed to pres...
