...In this case, zein nanoparticles improved the stability of α-tocopherol (TOC), and the chitosan (CS) coating did not affect the encapsulation efficiency, but greatly improved the controlled release properties of TOC in PBS buffer solution, indicating that nanoparticles of zein coated with CS can be developed as a novel TOC supplementation or treatment [106]....
