Pectin-derived matrices are now being examined and tested for controlled drug delivery.
Pectin is intact in the upper gastrointestinal tract and degraded by colonic microflora. The …

Controlled drug delivery remains a research focus for public health to enhance patient
compliance, drug efficiency and reduce the side effects of drugs. Pectin, an edible plant …

Ocular manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis may occur secondary to contiguous
granulomatous sinusitis or as a result of focal vasculitis. Contiguous granulomatous sinus …

Pectin was acid extracted from orange albedo by microwave heating under pressure.
Extraction times ranged from 2.5 to 8 min. Solubilized pectin was characterized for molar …

The microstructural and thermal dynamic mechanical properties of extruded
pectin/starch/glycerol (PSG) edible and biodegradable films were measured by scanning …

Pectin was extracted from lime flavedo, albedo and pulp by employing microwave-assisted
extraction (MAE) under pressure. Heating times ranged from 1 to 10min. Optimal time of …

Composite films were prepared from pectin and fish skin gelatin (FSG) or pectin and
soybean flour protein (SFP). The inclusion of protein promoted molecular interactions …

Novel complex hydrogel beads were prepared from two edible polymers: pectin, a
carbohydrate from citrus fruits, and zein, a protein from corn. The pectin/zein complex …

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of modified citrus pectin (MCP) on the
urinary excretion of toxic elements in healthy individuals. MCP is a reduced molecular …

The aim of the research was to develop matrices for the delivery of biologically active
substances for tissue regeneration. To this end, a new biodegradable matrix composed of a …
