Effects of carrier type, EGCG loading, and heat treatment on the average particle size and Span
| Sample | Conc. (%w/v) | Heat treatment | D v90 | D v10 | D v50 | Span | Mean diameter (nm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| r‐CM | 0.50 | − | 132.5 | 27.95 | 39.5 | 2.64 | 66.2 |
| r‐CM+EGCG | 0.50 | − | 158.2 | 20.48 | 30 | 4.59 | 67.7 |
| r‐CM+EGCG | 0.50 | + | 223.5 | 33 | 56 | 3.40 | 129.9 |
| CNP | 1.00 | − | 417.0 | 93.5 | 161 | 2.01 | 161.9 |
| CNP | 1.00 | + | 717.5 | 140.5 | 242.5 | 2.38 | 245.7 |
r‐CM and CNP stand for re‐combined casein micelle and casein nanoparticle, respectively. D v0.9, D v0.1, and D v0.5 are the diameters (nm) where 90%, 10%, and 50% of population lie below them, respectively.
