Impact of curcumin nanoformulation on its antimicrobial activity

When evaluating the antimicrobial properties of curcumin, it becomes important to determine the actual gains from encapsulation because these techniques are usually expensive and may lead to the degradation of curcumin during the encapsulation steps. Attention must be paid when choosing the most suitable experimental method to determine the antimicrobial activity of encapsulated curcumin because minimum inhibitory concentration values may vary significantly.
