Adsorption mechanism of polyphenols onto starch nanoparticles and enhanced antioxidant activity under adverse conditions

Polyphenols have potent antioxidant capacities and may reduce chronic disease risk. However, they are sensitive to pH, temperature, and light, limiting their applications. This study developed a starch nanoparticle based nanocarrier on which to load four polyphenols: (+)-catechin, (−)-epicatechin, (...
