    By S. Dhivya, S. Sarojini, S. Duraivel

    Abstract: Chitosan, a hydrophilic, natural amino polysaccharide derived from chitin on alkaline de-acetylation. Chitosan is a nontoxic, biocompatible, antibacterial and biodegradable polymer. The biological activities of chitosan are mainly depending on the water solubility nature and also the solubility in other solvents. The primary amino group present in the chitosan is the key functional groups which is mainly responsible for its bioactivities. The biological activities of antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer properties …

    A Review on Sodium Alginate: A Natural Polymer

    By Dhivya S., S. Sarojini, S. Duraivel

    Abstract: Polymer is large molecules (macromolecule) of natural or synthetics substances, composed of many repeated subunits of monomers. It is broadly classified into three types namely natural polymers, semi-synthetic and synthetic polymers. Natural polymers are having the advantages of biocompatibility, biodegradability and safety over synthetic polymers. The natural polymers have different roles and applications in the pharmaceutical formulations such as binders, matrix formers or drug release modifiers, film coating formers, thickeners …
