Enhancement of biological properties in casein protein through functionalization with cinnamaldehyde via Schiff base bonding: antibacterial and antioxidant effects

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: )], showcasing its potential as an antimicrobial agent. Antioxidant tests demonstrated enhanced scavenging abilities, suggesting protective effects against oxidative stress. Furthermore, preliminary hemocompatibility assessments indicated that the modified protein is non-toxic to human blood cells, underscoring its suitability for biomedical applications. Collectively, these findings suggest that cinnamaldehyde-functionalized casein holds promise for advancing healthcare materials.
