Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Action of Whey Protein-ε-Polylysine Complexes against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>
ε-Polylysine (ε-PL) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide, which easily forms complexes with food polyanions to weaken its antibacterial activity. A whey protein-ε-PL complex delivery system was found to be able to solve this problem. This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of the complexes...
