Tea polyphenol-induced macadamia nut peptide complexes: molecular interaction mechanisms and improved emulsifying properties.
BACKGROUND Macadamia nut peptides (MNPs) have attracted increasing attention as functional food ingredients, but their aggregation and limited interfacial activity can restrict their application in emulsion systems. Tea polyphenols (TPs) can interact with peptides and proteins through non-covalent interactions and ther...
