This research studied the viability of probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) encapsulated in internal aqueous phase (W1) a water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsion system, with help gelation and different gelling agents. Additionally, physicochemical, rheological, microstructural properties fabricated systems were assessed over time under effect W1 gelation. The average dro...

Ionotropic gelation method was used to entrap Ketoprofen (KP) into calcium alginate beads. KP is one of the non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); it has a short half life (1.5-2 h) and deleterious side effects on GIT such as irritation and ulceration. Beads were investigated in-vitro for possible sustained drug release and in-vivo as a gastro-protective system for KP. The curing time ...

Nasal packing materials are widely used in endonasal surgery, including septoplasty, turbinoplasty and paranasal sinus surgery. They are also used to prevent synechiae and haematoma formation, to support septal flap apposition, and to close dead space between cartilage and subperichondrial flaps [1]. Several types of nasal packs are used post-operatively in nasal and sinus surgery. There are va...

The encapsulation of living mammalian cells within a semi-permeable hydrogel matrix is an attractive procedure for many biomedical and biotechnological applications, such as xenotransplantation, maintenance of stem cell phenotype and bioprinting of three-dimensional scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this review, we focus on naturally derived polymers that can form h...

Electroactive hydrogels can be used to influence cell response and maturation by electrical stimulation. However, hydrogel formulations which are 3D printable, electroactive, cytocompatible, allow adhesion, remain a challenge in the design of such stimuli-responsive biomaterials for tissue engineering. Here, combination pyrrole with high gelatin-content oxidized alginate-gelatin (ADA-GEL) is re...

The objectives of this study were to use soybean cake as the raw material for the production of isoflavone powder and compare the effects of different carriers as well as drying methods on the powder quality. Results showed that with spray drying, a level of 40% maltodextrin as carrier produced the highest yield (mass) of isoflavone powder, followed by 10% gelatin and 1% sodium alginate. Howeve...

Periodontitis is a set of inflammatory conditions affecting the tissues surrounding teeth predominantly sustained by bacterial infections. The aim work was design and development scaffolds based on biopolymers to be inserted in periodontal pocket restore tissue integrity treat Nanofibrous were prepared means electrospinning. Gelatin considered as base component associated low high molecular wei...
