“…Recently, accumulated evidence has demonstrated that polysaccharides have a broad spectrum of biological effects, such as antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-mutant, anticoagulant, and immunostimulation activies (Ali et al, 2009;Wijesekara et al, 2011). The mechanisms polysaccharides from natural resources exert their tumor inhibition effects are reviewed by Zong et al (2012) and can be assigned into the following four aspects: (1) the prevention of tumorigenesis by oral consumption of active preparations; (2) direct anticancer; (3) immunopotentiation activity in combination with chemotherapy; and (4) the inhibition of tumor metastasis.…”

“…Its main chain is composed of 1,3-linked β-ᴅ-galactopyranosyl units and the side chain (2 to 5 1,3-linked β-ᴅ-galactopyranosyl units) are joined to the main chain by 1,6-linkages. Both the main and side chains comprise of α-ʟ-arabinofuranosyl, α-ʟ-rhamnopyronosyl, β-ᴅ-glucuronopyranosyl and 4-O-methyl-β-ᴅ-glucuronopyranosyl [15,16]. It has been recently reported that gum Arabic has been combined with alginate as drug delivery system to release glibenclamide [13].…”

Controlled release beads were prepared by using the combination of alginate and gum Arabic through ionotropic gelation method. Bovine serum albumin was used as model protein for in vitro assessments. The effect of amount of sodium alginate and gum Arabic as the factor affecting protein encapsulation efficiency and protein release were optimized and analyzed by using RSM-FCCD. It was observed that protein encapsulation efficiency was increased and protein release was decreased with the increase of both of the amount of sodium alginate and gum Arabic, used as polymer blend. The optimized beads showed high encapsulation efficiency (87.5 ± 3.65%) with suitable protein release (100% protein release after almost 4 hrs). The swelling of beads were highly influenced by pH of dissolution medium. These beads were also characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM and TA for protein-excipients interaction, beads surface morphology and beads strength, respectively. These calcium alginate/gum Arabic beads have good potential to be used as delivery vehicle for protein drugs.

This analysis indicates that gum Arabic may have a compact, elliptical structure in solution, the significance of which for biotechnological use is indicated. This modelling method can be applied to other biopolymers and synthetic polymers.
