Soy Protein Isolate-Chitosan Maillard Graft-Stabilized Curcumin-Loaded Emulsions for Encapsulation and Sustained Release
Hydrophobic bioactive compounds are difficult to deliver because of poor water solubility, limited stability, and uncontrolled release. In this study, chitosan-soy protein isolate (CS-SPI) conjugates were prepared by dry-heat Maillard reaction and used as natural polymeric emulsifiers for curcumin-loaded emulsions. The...
