In this work the physicochemical characteristics and functional properties of mesquite gum (MG) and nopal mucilage (NM) mixtures (75-25, 50-50, 25-75) were evaluated and compared with the biopolymers separately in order ...

Ionic gelation of alginate has become one of the most widely used encapsulation techniques, with the main drawback that alginate hydrogels exhibit highly porous structural networks, which promotes high rates of release ...

One of the most extensively studied polysaccharides is alginate extracted from brown seaweed. These types of natural polysaccharides are found throughout the world. Over the years, studies have shown that alginates are ...
