Development of Epigallocatechin-Loaded Water Caltrop Starch Aerogels: Structure, Functional Properties and In Vitro Release Behavior
The increasing demand for sustainable food packaging has generated interest in biodegradable carriers for bioactive chemicals. This study created porous aerogels from water caltrop starch (WCS) to encapsulate and regulate the release of epigallocatechin (EGC), a sensitive natural polyphenol. WCS aerogels with different...
