Pectin gels at different polymer concentrations were used as matrices for the encapsulation of a volatile flavour (limonene). This provides a useful model system for studying the influence of the matrix viscoelastic ...

Transversality between mathematical modeling, pharmacology, and materials science is essential in order to achieve controlled-release systems with advanced properties. In this regard, the area of biomaterials provides a ...

The demand for biomaterials with properties that provide sustained release of substances with pharmacological interest is constant. One candidate for applications in this area is the Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) extracted ...

The most compelling evidence for a functional role of caffeine‐sensitive intracellular Ca2+ reservoirs in nerve cells derives from experiments on peripheral neurons. However, the properties of their ryanodine receptor ...

This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of gel-like calcium polyphosphate coacervates (Ca–PPCs) with three different [P]:[Ca] ratios as new matrixes for drug release. Caffeine and chlorhexidine were used ...

The incorporation of gallic acid (GA) in a direct way or into nanoparticles included in chitosan edible films appears as a suitable approach to increase its preservation upon adverse conditions. The addition of nanoparticles ...

Antimicrobial finishings protect users from pathogenic and odor-generating microorganisms, which are of medical and hygiene concerns. Controlled release is a useful approach to obtain antimicrobial finishings in several ...
