Gums’ based delivery systems: Review on cashew gum and its derivatives

TL;DR: In this review Cashew gum is characterized from its source through to the process of purification and chemical modification highlighting its physicochemical properties and discussing its potential either for micro and nanoparticulate delivery systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solvent-free production of phthalated cashew gum for green synthesis of antimicrobial silver nanoparticles

TL;DR: This work describes a solvent-free method for the chemical modification of cashew gum (Anacardium occidentale L.) using phthalic anhydride in different proportions with different reaction times to show antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
