Over the last few decades, a lot of investigations have been directed towards naturally
occurring polymers because of their useful physicochemical properties. Among the naturally …

This review describes hydrogels and their classifications along with the synthesis and
properties of biopolymer-dextrin based crosslinked hydrogels and their potential …

Polysaccharides are ideal candidates for drug delivery and biomedical applications as they
are easily obtained from natural sources. Furthermore, they can be subjected to a wide …

Proper identification and differentiation of natural polysaccharides is a very crucial task
owing to some similarities in their appearance and properties. This research presents an …

Tara gum (TG) was derivatized to carboxymethyl TG (CMTG) and then cross-linked with Al
3+/Ca 2+ ions to prepare Al/Ca cross-linked CMTG matrices for sustained delivery of …
