Droplet-coacervated cellulose nanocrystals/chitosan microcapsules for pH-responsive oral delivery of curcumin: Role of adsorption and entrapment mechanisms.
This study presents a sustainable strategy for developing a pH-responsive oral delivery system for curcumin by utilizing coir pith as a renewable source of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). The CNC were combined with chitosan and ionically crosslinked with sodium tripolyphosphate via a droplet coacervation technique to for...
