An enzymatically controlled mucoadhesive for enhancing flavour during food oral processing (2019)
Journal Article

While a good mucoadhesive biopolymer must adhere to a mucus membrane, it must also have a good unloading ability. Here, we demonstrate that the biopolymer pullulan is partially digested by human salivary α-amylase, thus acting as a controlled release...
