“…These are prepared from natural or synthetic polymers. Natural polymers studied for preparation and evaluation of oral insulin nanoparticles include chitosan (Lin et al, 2007b;Sadeghi et al, 2008;Rekha and Sharma, 2009;Yin et al, 2009;Avadi et al, 2010;Su et al, 2012;Fonte et al, 2012;Chuang et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013b;Mansourpour et al, 2015), alginate (Kadir et al, 2013;Wong and Sumiran, 2014), gelatin, albumin (Rieux et al, 2006;Woitiski et al, 2011) and lectin (Ghilzai, 2003). Synthetic polymers used for nanoparticle formulation include acrylates and its derivatives (Sajeesh and Sharma, 2006;Damge et al, 2010;Perera et al, 2009;Socha et al, 2009), polylactic-co-glycolic acid derivatives (Carino et al, 2000;Shi et al, 2008;Han et al, 2009;Zhu et al, 2015).…”
