Enzyme oxidation of plant galactomannans yielding biomaterials with novel properties and applications, including as delivery systems
Yves M. Galante,Luca Merlini,Tiziana Silvetti,Paola Campia,Bianca Rossi,Fiorenza Viani,Milena Brasca +6 more
TL;DR: The present review summarizes the recent progress on enzyme oxidation of galactomannans (GM) from few leguminous plants (performed either with galactose oxidase or laccase) and focuses on the versatile and easily accessible laccases/TEMPO oxidative reaction.

Gum tragacanth-polyvinyl alcohol aerogel for oral delivery of silymarin.
TL;DR: This study reports for the first time the fabrication of highly porous aerogels of mixed gum tragacanth-polyvinyl alcohol (GT-PVA) for loading and oral delivery of silymarin (SM) and found that the release rate of SM in simulated gastrointestinal media was found to follow Korsmeyere-Peppas model.
