Effect of Lecithin on the Spontaneous Crystallization of Enzymatically Synthesized Short-Chain Amylose Molecules into Spherical Microparticles

Effect of Lecithin on the Spontaneous Crystallization of Enzymatically Synthesized Short-Chain Amylose Molecules into Spherical Microparticles

Here, we report a facile and effective one-pot approach to prepare uniform amylose-based polymeric microparticles (PMPs) through enzymatic synthesis of short-chain amylose (SCA) followed by spontaneous self-assembly of the SCA in the presence of lecithin. The effect of lecithin on nucleation and gro...
