Understanding and controlling interfaces has proven to be key to a very wide range of
applications, from optical and electronic materials 1, 2 to energy storage and production, 3 …

The introduction of nanoparticulate carriers (NPC) in the pharmaceutic and nutraceutic fields
has changed the definitions of disease management and treatment, diagnosis, as well as …

New bioactive nanocomposite films were prepared by compression molding method for food
applications. Film matrix was composed of poly (lactic acid) containing cellulose …

The adsorption of amphiphilic molecules of varying size on solid-liquid interfaces modulates
the properties of colloidal systems. Nonionic, poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO)-based amphiphilic …

Nisin is the only bacteriocin approved as a food preservative because of its antibacterial
effectiveness and its negligible toxicity for humans. Typical problems encountered when …

Nisin is a natural antimicrobial peptide widely used in food and medical applications. Its use
is hampered by its costly production process and complex further purification. Therefore …

In this study, a wound dressing of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers incorporating
the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) nisin was fabricated. Nisin was physically adsorbed to the …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of poly-ethylene-co-vinyl acetate (EVA) films
incorporating different concentrations (0.1%, 0.5% and 1%) of nisin on the biofilm-forming …

The use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanosprings as supports for immobilized enzymes in a
continuous microreactor is described. A nanospring mat (2.2 cm2× 60 μm thick) was …

Chickpea legumin has a high molecular weight (300 KDa), consists of 5 subunits (25–45
KDa) and has a relatively high isoelectric point (pH 6.5). It could inhibit the growth of four …
