Encapsulation of Glycoprotein Extracted from Kiwifruit in Chitosan-Based Microspheres

Article Preview

Abstract:

Encapsulation glycoprotein extracted from kiwifruit in chitosan-alginate microspheres was prepared by ionic gelation method for controlling release by using various combinations of chitosn and Ca2+ as cation and alginate as anion. The concentration of chitosan, sodium alginate and calcium chloride could affect glycoprotein loading efficiency and the total release capacity of glycoprotein from chitosan-alginate microspheres. The maxmum amount of glycoprotein loaded and the minimum total release capacity were attained when 2% alginate, 0.7% chitosan, and 0.2M Ca2+ were crosslinked at pH 5.5, 37°C.
