  • What is a casein-polysaccharide hybrid hydrogel?
  • W. Yin, R. Su, W. Qi, Z. He A casein-polysaccharide hybrid hydrogel cross-linked by transglutaminase for drug delivery Encapsulation, protection, and release of polyunsaturated lipids using biopolymer-based hydrogel particles Development of food-grade filled hydrogels for oral delivery of lipophilic active ingredients: pH-triggered release
  • Are casein hydrogels a crosslink agent?
  • Casein hydrogels, created using GP as crosslink agent were studied regarding their rheological properties ( Song et al., 2009 ). A suspension of 8% w.w −1 sodium caseinate was reacted with 2.5, 5 and 10 mM GP. Oscillatory rheology measurements were carried out and gelation time was determined as the cross-over between the G’ and G’’ curves.
  • What is a casein-based hydrogel made with yak milk caseins and hyaluronic acid?
  • A casein-based hydrogel made with yak milk caseins and hyaluronic acid has been formulated by Li et al. (2014). Hyaluronic acid is a natural polymer present in biological fluids and tissues. It has viscoelastic properties that make it useful in many biomedical applications ( Kogan, Šoltés, Stern, & Gemeiner, 2007 ).
  • Are casein based hydrogels a good choice?
  • Conclusions and future directions As this mini-review indicates, caseins have inherent properties that make them an excellent candidate for smart hydrogels that release biomolecules in various environments. These casein-based hydrogels have a wide range of possible applications in the food, pharmaceutical and biomaterial industries.
