This study aims to develop alginate-based hydrogels reinforced with carrageenan and gellan gum as composite materials for oral drug delivery.
- Alginate: A naturally derived polymer from brown algae that forms a gel upon exposure to cations, enhancing structural integrity.
- Carrageenan and Gellan Gum: Polysaccharides that improve stability and encapsulation efficiency.
This research investigates the physical properties, mechanical strength, encapsulation capacity, and swelling behavior of hydrogel beads under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The findings demonstrate that this composite enhances durability and stability while enabling controlled release of active compounds, holding significant potential for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Objective
To develop alginate beads reinforced with carrageenan and gellan gum for encapsulation and to analyze their performance under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.
- To develop the preparation and encapsulation of active compounds using alginate beads with carrageenan and gellan gum as composite materials.
- To analyze the performance of alginate beads containing carrageenan and gellan gum as composite materials for encapsulating active compounds under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.
