Nanoprecipitates of γ-Cyclodextrin/Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Inclusion Complexes as Efficient Antioxidants for Preservation of Shrimp Surimi Products: Synthesis, Performance and Mechanism.

Here, nanoscale γ-CD/EGCG inclusion complexes as alternatives to EGCG were tailored as food antioxidants for the preservation of shrimp surimi products, exerting antioxidant effects while mitigating the browning effects of EGCG on products. Trough self-assembly, EGCG would be anchored with the cavity of γ-CD, which could regulate the release modes and restrict the aggregation of EGCG. This facile strategy has great potential in food preservation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
