In vitro and in vivo study of sodium polyacrylate grafted alginate as microcapsule matrix for live probiotic delivery

In this work, the effect of extra carboxylate groups in alginate (Alg) matrix was studied for live probiotic microencapsulation. Edible semi-natural polymer was synthesized by grafting sodium polyacrylate (PAAs) from alginate to improve the acid-resistant property of Alg. Grafted (Alg-PAAs(1:2)) and...
