Production and characterization of alginate-starch-chitosan microparticles containing stigmasterol through the external ionic gelation technique
Braz. j. pharm. sci; 49 (3), 2013
Stigmasterol - a plant sterol with several pharmacological activities - is susceptible to oxidation when exposed to air, a process enhanced by heat and humidity. In this context, microencapsulation is a way of preventing oxidation, allowing stigmasterol to be incorporated into various pharmaceutical form...
