Solubilization mechanism of self-assembled walnut protein nanoparticles and curcumin encapsulation.

The solubility of the self-assembled WPNP significantly increased after pH-shifting treatment. The walnut protein carrier could improve the stability of the encapsulated curcumin. Therefore, walnut proteins could be used as water-soluble carriers for hydrophobic drugs. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
