Preparation, Characterisation and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Al3+-Modified Starch Nanoemulsion

An oil-in-water nanoemulsion comprising of aluminium ions encapsulated in a chemically modified starch derivative was prepared, characterised and evaluated for the antimicrobial activity. The nanoemulsion was prepared by emulsion-coacervation method under ultrasonication conditions. Based on the alu...
