Alginate hydrogels are suitable for the encapsulation of a great variety of biomolecules. Several alternatives to the conventional alginate formulation are being studied for a broad range of biotechnological applications; ...

This study aimed at characterizing the soy protein isolate and high-methoxyl pectin biopolymers individually, and the complexes formed by both at different proportions and pHs in order to find the most suitable pH and ...

The aim of this study was to design and characterize soluble biopolymer complexes formed by self-assembly of an anionic polysaccharide (sodium alginate, SA) and a whey protein isolate (WPI). First, conditions for producing ...

In this study, the effects of the origin of xanthan used, in combination with chitosan, to prepare films for the treatment of skin lesions were evaluated. The characteristics of the films obtained with xanthan commercially ...
