No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01; Interfacial cross-linking (ICL) has been considered a feasible technique to produce polysaccharide-based microparticles (PbMs), even though only a few studies have been concerned with their biocompatibility. In this work, PbMs were prepared by the ICL method and characterized in regard to their in vitro...
Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte; The aim of this work was to perform the extraction and characterization of xylan from corn cobs and prepare xylan-based microcapsules. For that purpose, an alkaline extraction of xylan was carried out followed by the polymer characterization regarding its technological properties, such as angle of repose, Hausner factor, density, compressibility and compactability. A...
