Contribution of Phosphorylation Modification to Stability and Antibacterial Activity of Egg White Protein Nanogels Loaded with Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil by Sheng-Qi Rao, Xin-Ru Gao, Hui Liu, Zhi-Rong Wang, Zhen-Quan Yang

“…This study evaluated the potential usage of phosphorylated egg white protein (P-EWP) nanogels fabricated via microwave-induced phosphorylation modification and gel process and further ultrasonic nanometrization as novel delivery systems for cinnamon bark essential oil (CBEO). Compared to EWP-CBEO nanogels without chemical phosphorylation, the obtained P-EWP-CBEO nanogels have shown smaller average hydrodynamic diameter (133.6 nm), relatively uniform size distribution (polydispersity index around 0.265), enhanced negative surface charge (−35.4 mV), and improved stability under the conditions of high temperature (up to 90 °C) and ionic strength (up to 200 mM NaCl). …”
