Effect of complexation conditions on xanthan–chitosan polyelectrolyte complex gels
Polyelectrolyte hydrogels formed by xanthan gum and chitosan can be used for encapsulation and controlled release of food ingredients, cells, enzymes, and therapeutic agents. In this study, xanthan–chitosan microcapsules were formed by complex coacervation. The effects of initial polymer concentration and chitosan solution pH on the crosslinking density of xanthan–chitosan network were investig...
متن کاملEffect of complexation conditions on microcapsulation of Lactobacillus acidophilus in xanthan-chitosan polyelectrolyte complex gels.
BACKGROUND Lactobacillus acidophilus has become increasingly popular because of their beneficial effects on health of their host, and are called proboscis. In order to exert beneficial effects for probiotics, they must be able to tolerate the acidic conditions of the stomach environment and the bile in the small intestine. Microencapsulated form has received reasonable attention, since it can p...
متن کاملElaboration of stable and antibody functionalized positively charged colloids by polyelectrolyte complexation between chitosan and hyaluronic acid.
In this study, we describe the elaboration of multifunctional positively charged polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) nanoparticles, designed to be stable at physiological salt concentration and pH, for effective targeted delivery. These nanoparticles were obtained by charge neutralization between chitosan (CS) as polycation and hyaluronic acid (HA) as polyanion. We showed that the course of the compl...
متن کاملChitosan-based polyelectrolyte complexes for drug delivery
Among different polymers, chitosan, the N-deacetylated product of the polysaccharide chitin, is gaining increasing importance in medical and pharmaceutical applications due to its good mucoadhesion and absorption enhancing ability. Moreover, chitosan shows the ability to form hydrogels able to control the rate of drug release from the delivery system as well as protect the drug from chemical an...
متن کاملEffects of conformational ordering on protein/polyelectrolyte electrostatic complexation: ionic binding and chain stiffening.
Coupling of electrostatic complexation with conformational transition is rather general in protein/polyelectrolyte interaction and has important implications in many biological processes and practical applications. This work studied the electrostatic complexation between κ-carrageenan (κ-car) and type B gelatin, and analyzed the effects of the conformational ordering of κ-car induced upon cooli...
