Encapsulation of BSA/alginate water–in–water emulsions by polyelectrolyte complexation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water-in-Water (W/W) emulsions were prepared in aqueous mixtures of an anionic polyelectrolyte (sodium alginate, NaAlg), with a globular protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA). This combination showed phase separation at two different intervals pH, and their behavior was studied. BSA-in-alginate obtained dropped into Ca2+, Fe3+ or chitosan solutions, forming capsules diameters around 2–4 mm, by ionic complexation sodium located the continuous emulsions. The results strong dependence on cation polycation. Capsules Ca2+ not robust collapsed during freeze-drying, while induced gelation interior capsules, even short (5 min) contact time. Better when encapsulating applying longer immersion times. In these liquid contained well-preserved droplets, identical to initial before encapsulating. Freeze-dried spherical alginate/Fe3+ alginate/chitosan shells had smooth surfaces, highly porous interior, templated presence W/W emulsion droplets.

Preparation of shell cross-linked micelles by polyelectrolyte complexation.
Covalent stabilization of micelles and vesicles has attracted increasing attention in recent years. In particular, shell cross-linked (SCL) micelles are potentially useful nanosized vehicles for the delivery of various actives (e.g., drugs, fragrances, pesticides). The first example of SCL micelles was described by Wooley and co-workers, who oligomerized pendent styrene groups by using radical ...
متن کاملField-Theoretic Simulations of Polyelectrolyte Complexation
This viewpoint article is intended as a brief introduction to the emerging subject of field-theoretic simulations (FTS) of charged polymers. While the direct numerical simulation of field theory models has begun to impact several traditional areas of polymer science, including blends and block copolymers, polyelectrolytes have hitherto not been the subject of field-theoretic simulations. Herewe...
متن کاملEncapsulation of Flavors in Emulsions for Beverages
Though stable in dilute form for very long periods of time, simple mono-emulsifier flavor emulsions based on gum acacia or modified starch are fairly limited in their ability to provide functionality beyond simple dispersion. This review highlights many of the enhancements on traditional emulsions, ranging from new materials to novel combinations of materials and processes. The development of m...
متن کاملUREAS IN MOLECULAR RECOGNITION: COMPLEXATION AND ENCAPSULATION by
A dicarboxylic acid cleft is presented that uses an optically active N,N'dibenzylurea spacer. The acids are held apart by a moderately rigid structure that forms part of a C-shaped cleft. The urea offers a third binding site that is flanked by a chiral environment located in the 'floor' of the binding pocket between the diacids. Evidence for the complexation of dibasic guests through chelation ...
متن کاملComplexation in Polyelectrolyte Solution with Divalent Surfactant
We study a simple model of DNA divalent cationic surfactant complexation. We find that the combination of electrostatic and hydrophobic effects leads to a cooperative phenomenon in which as the amphiphile is added to the solution containing DNA, a large fraction of the DNA’s charge is neutralized by the condensed divalent cationic surfactants, forming the surfoplex. This binding transition occu...
