during last two decades, polysaccharides such as alginate (alg) alone and in combination with other biopolymers are widely used in vaccine and drug delivery systems. the aim of the present work was to investigate the potential utility of microparticles made of alginate (alg) as new vehicles for improving nasal vaccine delivery. for this purpose, diphtheria toxoid (dt) was chosen as a model anti...

in recent years, encapsulation of drugs and antigens in hydrogels, specifically in calcium alginate particles, is an interesting and practical technique that was developed widespread. it is well known that alginate solution, under proper conditions, can form suitable nanoparticles as a promising carrier system, for vaccine delivery. the aim of this study was to synthesis alginate nanoparticles ...

in our previous work, the effect of use of a water soluble cdi/nhs system as nontoxic cross-linking agent on fabrication of gelatin nanoparticles was investigated. in this research, the effect of variation in some synthetic parameters of gelatin nanoparticles cross-linked by cdi/nhs system such as type of gelatin and formulation of cross- linking agent on their size and distribution was examine...

in this research, gelatin nanoparticles were synthesized via inverse miniemulsion method by employing a mixture of a water soluble carbodiimide (cdi) and n-hydroxysuccinimide (nhs) as a non-toxic cross-linking system. the gelatin nanoparticles were characterized for their size and size distribution, morphology and stability and were compared with those of nanoparticles cross-linked by glutarald...

Background and Objectives: As chemical methods are commonly used to modify the starch properties, in this study, the influence of chemical modification using POCl3 on the rice starch function was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Rice starch was isolated by alkaline extraction of the proteins and cross-linked rice starches were prepared from reactions between native rice starch (low and high a...

The H NMR relaxometry in combination with water proton spin–spin relaxation time measurements and rheometry have been applied to study the ionic gelation of 1% w/w aqueous low methoxyl pectin solution induced by divalent Ca cations from a calcium chloride solution. The model-free approach to the analysis of H NMR relaxometry data has been used to separate the information on the static (β) and d...
