Biocompatibility of Alginates for Grafting: Impact of Alginate Molecular Weight [PDF]

open access: possibleArtificial Cells, Blood Substitutes, and Biotechnology, 2003
Optimising microencapsulation technology towards the effective clinical transplantation has created the need for highly biocompatible alginates. Therefore, in this study the biocompatibility of different beads prepared from alginates with varying average molecular weight was examined.

Diffusion of polyphenols from alginate, alginate/chitosan, and alginate/inulin particles

Journal of Food Process Engineering, 2019
Abstract Thymus serpyllum L (thyme) aqueous extract was encapsulated within three different types of particles. Thus, electrostatic extrusion was applied to obtain alginate, alginate/chitosan, and alginate/inulin particles with encapsulated extract which is known as a rich source of polyphenolic compounds.

Structural Characterization of Sodium Alginate and Calcium Alginate

Biomacromolecules, 2016
Alginate readily aggregates and forms a physical gel in the presence of cations. The association of the chains, and ultimately gel structure and mechanics, depends not only on ion type, but also on the sequence and composition of the alginate chain that ultimately determines its stiffness.

Effect of alginate composition and purity on alginate microspheres

Journal of Microencapsulation, 2004
Alginate is commonly used to microencapsulate islets in experiments with islet allografts and xenografts for the treatment of Type I diabetes. The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects of alginate composition and purity on the morphology and size of microspheres.Microcapsules produced with the impure alginate types, medium-viscosity ...

Alginate Sequencing: An Analysis of Block Distribution in Alginates Using Specific Alginate Degrading Enzymes

Biomacromolecules, 2011
Distribution and proportion of β-D-mannuronic and α-L-guluronic acid in alginates are important for understanding the chemical-physical properties of the polymer. The present state of art methods, which is based on NMR, provides a statistical description of alginates.

A tale of two alginates

Journal of Wound Care, 2021
Background: All fibrous wound dressings are considered to have the same action and value to the support of wound healing. Although clear distinction has been accepted between cotton gauze and calcium alginates, there is still no formally recognised distinction between calcium alginates and the more rapidly gelling fibre dressings.

The conversion of calcium alginate fibers into alginic acid fibers and sodium alginate fibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2006
AbstractAlginate is a natural polymer extracted from brown seaweeds. Over the last two decades, alginate fibers have become well established in the wound management industry where their ion exchange and gel forming abilities are particularly useful in the treatment for exuding wounds.
