A report from the Polytechnic University of Valencia discusses the findings of a study on the antimicrobial activity of vanillin immobilized onto silicon microparticles against Escherichia coli. The researchers aimed to assess the effect of major constituents of liquid food matrices on the antimicrobial activity of vanillin-functionalized particles. They found that organic acids and alcohols had synergistic effects on the particles, while proteins, lipids, and some carbohydrates inhibited their antimicrobial activity. The study's results could be used to predict the effectiveness of the filtration system when treating real liquid food matrices. [Extracted from the article] |
