Abstract
The use of bio-nanocomposites for liberation of active substances is one of the popular alternatives for safely preserving food. In this context, the objective of this paper was to evaluate the interaction between montmorillonite sodium clay nanoparticles (MMT) and citric acid (CA) on whey protein isolate (WPI) bio-nanocomposites, developed by casting. CA was added to aid in the dispersion of MMT layers. The thermal analysis revealed that the...
