Food grade silica nanoparticles cause non‐competitive type inhibition of human salivary α‐amylase because of surface interaction

Abstract Given the potential of ingested particles to interact with enzymes in oral cavity, we compared different grades of SiO2 particles (food‐grade and non‐food grade nanoparticles (FG‐SiO2‐NP, NFG‐SiO2‐NP), and food grade microparticles (FG‐SiO2‐MP)) for their interaction with human salivary α‐a...
