Unconventional effects of long-term storage of microwave-modified chicken egg white lysozyme preparations

Abstract Thermal modification is an effective method that induces significant expansion of the antimicrobial properties and other valuable properties of chicken egg white lysozyme. In our latest research, a new innovative method of enzyme modification was developed, in which microwave radiation was...
