Fabrication, characterization, and bioactivity assessment of chitosan microemulsion containing lauric acid-vitamin E against foodborne pathogens.
Lauric acid (LA) is an antimicrobial medium-chain fatty acid, but its poor aqueous solubility limits its application in food matrices. To address this, ultrasound-assisted emulsion was developed using LA in vitamin E (VE) oil and chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (CS-PVA) aqueous matrix. The emulsion exhibited uniformly dispe...
