Synthesis and properties of core-shell thymol-loaded zein/shellac nanoparticles by coaxial electrospray as edible coatings

In this study, a coaxial electrospray process was used to produce nanoparticles, in which thymol was encapsulated in a core–shell of zein and shellac. We then investigated fluid velocity and solution concentrations on the electrospray. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the thymol/zein/shell...
