Functional Biomaterials for Treatment of Chronic Wound.
TL;DR: Functional biomaterials that can enhance chronic wound healing through debridement, anti-infection and antioxidant effects, immunoregulation, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of carrier agents on powder properties, stability of carotenoids, and encapsulation efficiency of goldenberry (Physalis peruviana L.) powder produced by co-current spray drying.
TL;DR: Cellobiose might protect the carotenoids from degradation processes by light exposure, high temperature, and oxygen due to a tighter particle crust and larger particle sizes, therefore, cellobiose may be considered a potential carrier agent for the encapsulated fruit juices.
