Pectin-Coated Curcumin-Chitosan Microparticles Crosslinked with Mg2+ for Delayed Drug Release in the Digestive System
Curcumin-loaded chitosan-pectin microparticles based on polymeric microencapsulation were prepared by two methods to delay the release of curcumin in the digestive system, employing Mg2+ as a pectin-crosslinking agent for the first time. Pectin-coated curcumin-chitosan microparticles (C-g-PMg) and c...
