Carboxymethylation of kappa-carrageenan for intestinal-targeted delivery of bioactive macromolecules
The work presented herein discusses the carboxymethylation of kappa-carrageenan, a natural linear polysaccharide, to afford a pH-dependent swelling property allowing for intestinal-targeted delivery of bioactive macromolecules. The carboxymethylation conditions with respect to the volume and concent...
