Extraction and Encapsulation of Phenolic Compounds of Tunisian Rosemary (<i>Rosmarinus officinalis</i> L.) Extracts in Silk Fibroin Nanoparticles

Rosemary (<i>Rosmarinus officinalis</i> L.) is known to be an effective potential source of natural antioxidants which confer benefits to human health. Their bioactive properties are mainly due to phenolic compounds but these molecules are highly vulnerable to oxidants, light, heat, pH,...
