Novel, bioactive film based on methylcellulose incorporated with quercetin-loaded nanoparticles: Bifunctional antioxidant and ultraviolet- shielding properties
Abstract:Article InfoA novel, bifunctional nanocomposite methylcellulose (MC) film was developed with antioxidant and ultraviolet (UV)-shielding properties. Quercetin (QC) nanoparticles (NPs) with an average size of approximately 60 nm were generated using a rapid expansion process. Quantification of the total phenolic content (TPC) was performed, followed by three assays-2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation decolorization … Show more
