Description
Summary:•Improve natamycin dispersibility by encapsulation for postharvest treatment.•A novel pH mixing-induced nanoprecipitation approach was developed.•Nata-Z/C NPs mainly interact via hydrophobic stacking and hydrogen bonds.•NPs improve the control of peach brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola. This work fabricated natamycin-loaded zein-casein nanoparticles (N-Z/C NPs) by a pH-driven approach and applied to control postharvest peach brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola. When casein and phosphoric acid were used as a stabilizer and neutralizing acid, respectively, NPs with mean particle sizes
