Hydrogels have gained a lot of attention with their widespread use in different industrial
applications. The versatility in the synthesis and the nature of the precursor reactants allow …

Due to the high demand (consumers and regulatory authorities) on elimination or reduction
of 'additives' in food and other health related products, there is increasing interest on natural …

Corn stalk is a biomass resource that is discarded in quantity. The reuse of biomass for
pollution control is a promising method to utilize the wastes to treat wastes. The main …

Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymeric structures with remarkable physicochemical and
mechanical properties. The selection of biopolymers as constituents of hydrogels is of great …

Compounding is a safe method to avoid limitations of a singular gel. Here, composite gels
were prepared with konjac glucomannan (KGM) and gum arabic (GA) and evaluated by …

As animal-fat analogs, polysaccharide-emulsion gels with different ratio of methylcellulose
(MC) to deacetylated konjac glucomannan (DKG) ratios (DKG: MC= 2: 8–8: 2) were …

Beef tripe is widely consumed in the world due to its favorable texture. However, the large-
scale cultivation of cattle for producing tripe would exacerbate living environment, and …

Biopolymers based hydrogels could have applications in various fields, such as packaging
materials, drug delivery systems, biosensors, and agricultural practices. The current work …

The purpose of this study is to develop a new polysaccharide-based hydrogel. The Box-
Behnken design was used to optimize the optimal synthesis conditions of the hydrogel, with …

The present study was designed to determine the hydrocolloidal properties and synergistic
effect of a novel compound gel prepared under specific physical gelling conditions using …
