| Summary: | The advent of green technology has flourished biomolecule applications in medical,
pharmaceutical and food products. Unlike synthetic materials, gelatin-polysaccharide matrixes
are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Gelatin-polysaccharide complexes are currently
being utilized for the development of nano- and micro-particles, hydrogel, aerogel and films.
Gelatin-polysaccharide based materials have offered improved characteristics depending on the
type and concentration of polysaccharide and crosslinking agent. Gelatin-polysaccharide based
materials function as bioactive compounds entrapment and encapsulation and anti-bacteria.
This review provides concise information on the theory and technological applications of
gelatin-polysaccharides based materials. |
