Many deadly infections are produced by microorganisms capable of sustained survival in
macrophages. This reduces exposure to chemadrotherapy, prevents immune detection, and …

Isothermal titration calorimetry is a widely used biophysical technique for studying the
formation or dissociation of molecular complexes. Over the last 5 years, much work has …

The application of bio-based materials such as biodegradable films for food packaging to
reduce the use of non-biodegradable petroleum-based food packaging materials is of great …

A novel photogelling mechanism by the phototriggered-imine-crosslinking (PIC) reaction is
demonstrated. Hyaluronic acid grafted with o-nitrobenzene, a photogenerated aldehyde …

With the increased prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria infections, there is a pressed
need for innovative antimicrobial agent. Here, we report a benign ε-polylysine/silver …

Thyme oil-in-water nanoemulsions (pH 3.5) were prepared as potential antimicrobial
delivery systems. The nanoemulsions were highly unstable to droplet growth and phase …

A simple cost-effective method (spontaneous emulsification) for fabricating physically stable
antimicrobial nanoemulsions from essential oils is described. These nanoemulsions (10 …

Food security is an important global public health issue, which will not only endanger
consumers' life and health, but also cause serious food waste. Herein, antibacterial …

The ε-polylysine (ε-PL) is a food-grade antimicrobial substance. The cationic ε-PL molecules
may interact with anionic components of food matrix causing turbidity, sedimentation, and …

We have investigated the interactions between polygalacturonate (polyGal) and four
divalent cations (M2+= Ba2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+) that differ in size and affinity for water. Our …
