An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT This paper describes the preparation and characterization of alginate beads coated with gelatin and containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Capsules were obtained by extrusion method using CaCl2 as cross linker. An experimental design was performed using alginate and gelatin concentrations as the va...

Effect of drying method on mechanical, thermal and water absorption properties of enzymatically crosslinked gelatin hydrogels

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Enzymatically crossliked gelatin hydrogel was submitted to two different drying methods: air drying and freeze drying. The resulting polymeric tridimensional arrangement (compact or porous, respectively) led to different thermal and swelling properties. Significant differences (p < 0.05) on t...
