Ionotropic alginate hydrogels are versatile materials for a wide range of applications. Their
biocompatibility and biodegradability have made them perfect candidates for biomedical …

The application of hydrocolloid gel particles is potentially useful in food, chemical, and
pharmaceutical industries. Alginate gel particles are one of the more commonly used …

In this work, a novel synthesis strategy of sodium alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel
beads promoted by hydrogen bond was described. The beads were prepared by dropping …

The food industry expects increasingly complex properties (such as delayed release,
stability, thermal protection, and suitable sensorial profile) from food ingredients, which often …

A detailed study of the production of polysaccharide aerogel (bio-aerogel) particles from lab
to pilot scale is surveyed in this article. An introduction to various droplets techniques …

Hydrogels have a tridimensional structure. They have the ability to absorb a significant
amount of water or other natural or simulated fluids that cause their swelling albeit without …

Spherical aerogels are not easily broken during use and are easier to transport and store
which can be used as templates for drug delivery. This review summarizes the possible …

Alginate is a biopolymer that has exceptional gelling properties, which allow easy gel
formation under safe and mild conditions. Consequently, it is often used to encapsulate a …

Alginate hydrogel beads are widely used as an encapsulation medium for biomedical,
bioprocessing, and pharmaceutical applications. The size and shape of the beads are often …

Written at a level comprehensible to non-experts, this handbook covers the current state of
encapsulation and controlled released technologies, presenting the fundamental processes …
