  Abstract: Consuming a natural composite of Persea americana (Avocado) leaf extract and a chitosan and fucoidan form a biodegradable biopolymer matrix–polymer nanocomposite with biomedical applications, this study explored a potential therapeutic method. GC-MS and UV spectroscopy were used to describe the aqueous leaf extract, which was verified by phytochemical screening to contain flavonoids, tannins, phenols, terpenoids, and alkaloids. The chitosan–fucoidan biodegradable polymer matrix served as a biocompatible stabilizing and encapsulating carrier …
