Use of Micellar Delivery Systems to Enhance Curcumin’s Stability and Microbial Photoinactivation Capacity

Use of Micellar Delivery Systems to Enhance Curcumin’s Stability and Microbial Photoinactivation Capacity

Microbial photoinactivation using ultraviolet (UV) or visible light can be enhanced by photosensitizers. This study assessed the efficacy of encapsulating a food-grade photosensitizer (curcumin) in surfactant micelles on its water dispersibility, chemical stability, and antimicrobial activity. Stock...
