Chemical modification and characterization of hydrogels from natural polysaccharide Gum Karaya

Original language description

Gum Karaya (GK) is a natural gum exudate of Sterculia urens tree. GK is a partially acetylated, insoluble and anionic polysaccharide. It is obtained as calcium and magnesium salt and contains of ß-D-galactose, L-rhamnose, ß-D-glucuronic acid and D-galacturonic acid. The swelling behaviour of GK is caused by the presence of the acetyl groups and multivalent ions in the GK structure. The present study deals with purification and chemical modification of GK to developed soluble material by alkali treatmentfor subsequent potential use in medicine (e.g. hydrogels for soft tissue regeneration of drug delivery systems). Conditions of modification reaction such as type of hydroxide, concentration of GK dispersion and time of reaction were optimized and mechanism of the reaction was proposed. Original GK and modified GK samples were studied by SEM, FTIR, TGA, DSC, ICP OES, GPC, NMR and rheological studies. The linear viscoelastic region was determined by rheological measurements.
