Novel composite blend microbeads of sodium alginate coated with chitosan for controlled release of amoxicillin

Chitosan coated alginate–xanthan gum bead enhanced pH and thermotolerance of Lactobacillus plantarum LAB12

“…2B). The remarkable decrease in intensity corresponded to the partial covalent bonding between calcium and oxygen [25]. Interestingly, the inclusion of XG to Alg based beads (Fig.…”

Effective dispersion and crosslinking in PVA/cellulose fiber biocomposites via solid-state mechanochemistry

“…These unique properties have made cellulose an ideal candidate for high performance biocomposites. Various biodegradable polymers, such as chitosan [6], starch [7], polycaprolactone (PCL) [8,9], poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) [10,11], polylactic acid (PLA) [12], poly(furfuryl alcohol) (PFA) [13], and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) [14][15][16] have been explored as potential matrices for this kind of composites. PVA is the most widely produced watersoluble synthetic polymer in the world.…”

Novel Composite Microparticles of Alginate Coated with Chitosan for Controlled Release and Protection of Ascorbic Acid

“…34 During the preparation of the ALG/CS blend microparticles, the pH of the solution was adjusted to 5, which increased the electrostatics interaction between carboxylic groups of ALG and amine groups of CS. 35 And the influence of complete drying on the wrinkled surface and collapsed shape of the microparticles should also not be discarded. 36 The particle size measured by SEM (ranged between 55 and 80 μm) was found to be smaller compared to those obtained from mastersizer.…”
