Arabinoxylan ferulate (AXF) foams were fabricated via enzymatic peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide crosslinking reaction followed by freeze-drying and studied as a potential wound dressing material. The AXF foam’s rheological, morphological, porous and swelling properties were examined. AXF foams were found to be a viscoelastic material that proved to be highly porous and water absorbent. AXF foams possessed low endotoxin levels and were cytocompatible with fibroblasts. Silver was successfully integrated into AXF foams and slowly released over 48 hours. AXF foams impregnated with silver demonstrated efficacy inhibiting bacterial growth according to a modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test. Overall, AXF foams possess appropriate material properties and the silver-loaded AXF foams showed antimicrobial activity, necessary to be a candidate material in wound dressing development.

“…Two stages of decomposition were observed, the main one at 252 o C. In this study, it was found that cashew gum and gum arabic have similar thermal behavior, so in terms of thermal stability, the gum arabic can be replaced by the cashew gum in various applications.

“…In this sense, studies of the food industry have been directed to the achievement of technologies to improve the shelf life of fresh foods, including bioactive packaging development (Lopez-Rubio et al, 2006; Min et al, 2017), handling improvement in the processing chain, or addition of an agent able to promote the conservation and sanitization of foods during storage (López de Lacey et al, 2012; Olmedo et al, 2017). Several polysaccharides have been studied for the production of polymer matrices with applications in many areas of biotechnology, including cashew gum polysaccharide (CGP) (Moreira et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2012Silva et al, , 2016Silva et al, , 2010. Cashew gum polysaccharide (CGP) is a complex branched heteropolysaccharide present in the exudate of Anacardium occidentale tree.…”
