Advanced monolayer and layer-by-layer nanocapsule systems for sustained release of carvacrol and trans-cinnamaldehyde against multidrug-resistant Salmonella in poultry.

ABSTRACT: The rise of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella in poultry poses a significant public health challenge. This study assessed the efficacy of carvacrol and trans-cinnamaldehyde, in free and nanoencapsulated forms, as natural alternatives to chlorine for inactivating antibiotic-resistant Salmonella in chicken. While several studies have evaluated free trans-cinnamaldehyde and carvacrol, there is a notable lack of research on encapsulated forms, using different types of capsules for controlled release of these antimicrobials in food applications. Both compounds were encapsulated by spray-drying into monolayer nanocapsules using maltodextrin as the carrier material, and into layer-by-layer nanocapsules with an additional layer of low methoxyl pectin, to enhance their stability and prolong antimicro
