Abstract:In recent years, use of chitosan (CS) nanoparticles as nanocarriers has received much attention due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility and non-toxicity. CS nanoparticles containing drugs, flavors, enzymes and antimicrobial agents can maintain their activity. Such nanoparticles can stimulate the stabilization of ascorbic acid (AA) and improve controlled release. This study investigates the interaction of CS monomer with AA and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) using density functional theory (DFT) during t… Show more
