Phenolic Compounds from Hibiscus sabdariffa L.: Extraction, Microencapsulation and Application in a Buttermilk-Based Fermented Dairy Beverage

Phenolic compound extracts from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) exhibit promising functional and technological properties; however, their application in foods is limited by their susceptibility to degradation, making microencapsulation a promising strategy. This study aimed to test d...

Surface Ligand-Dependent Kinetics of α-Lactalbumin Interaction with Gold Nanoparticles Investigated by SPR

Abstract Understanding the kinetic and energetic factors governing protein adsorption onto nanomaterial surfaces is essential for elucidating nanobiointerfacial processes. In this study, the interaction between α-lactalbumin (αLa) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized wit...
