Structural and Functional Characterization of Laccase-Induced β-Lactoglobulin–Ferulic Acid–Chitosan Ternary Conjugates

The purpose of current research is to design and acquire novel biological macromolecule materials with enhanced functional properties. Chitosan–ferulic acid binary conjugate (CFC) was synthesized based on the carbodiimide-mediated coupling reaction, and then β-lactoglobulin–ferulic acid–chitosan ternary conjugate (BFCC) was fabricated by laccase induction. Furthermore, the impact of laccase concentration on the formation mechanism of BFCC was...
