In alginate-based emulsion gels containing protein-coated droplets, pH can influence the
gelation mechanism of alginate gels, and the interactions between alginate molecules and …

Until now, most studies using calcium alginate gel (CAG) have been conducted primarily at
room temperature (20° C) without considering gelation temperature. Moreover, the effects of …

We demonstrate ultrafast gelation between alginate (Alg) and a series of metal ions Fe 3+,
Cu 2+, Co 2+, Ni 2+, and Mn 2+ in their single and binary mixtures. The hydrogels exhibit …

The aim of this study is to obtain and characterize of alginate-based membranes, as well as
to choose the most suitable membrane type for the transdermal release of methotrexate. The …

This review aims to gather the current state of the art on the encapsulation methods using
alginate as the main polymeric material in order to produce hydrogels ranging from the …

In the present study, alginate-pectin (Al–P) hydrogel particles containing varied total gum
concentrations (TGC) at a constant Al: P ratio of 80: 20 were formed utilizing an innovative …

This study developed and optimized a 3D food printing (3DFOODP) process of a complex
hydrogel system, consisting of a starch core and a pH-responsive alginate-pectin (Al–P) …

In this study, we investigated microbial flotation as a green separation technology in mineral
processing. We explored their potential use as environmentally friendly depressants for …
