    Development and Characterization of a Curcumin-Loaded Alginate-Xanthan Gum Hydrogel for Antibacterial Activity and Controlled Drug Release
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2025)
    This article describes the development and characterization of a curcumin-loaded alginate-xanthan gum hydrogel, designed to provide both antibacterial activity and controlled drug release.The hydrogel formulation consisted of 4% (w/v) alginate, 4% (w/v) xanthan gum, and 500 μg/mL of curcumin. Sterilization was achieved through ethanol immersion, UV irradiation, and autoclaving, with the latter two methods proving to be the most effective in maintaining long-term sterility. Antibacterial efficacy was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrating a significant inhibition zone around the hydrogel. The curcumin release profile indicated a sustained release over 72 hours, suggesting its suitability for prolonged antibacterial applications.

    Highly Efficient Ultrasound-Assisted Anthocyanin Extraction for Colorimetric Sensors and Drug Delivery Systems in Wound Dressings
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025)
    Anthocyanins were extracted from Peruvian purple cabbage (PC) using ultrasonication, a greener and more efficient technique. The anthocyanin extract was incorporated into polymeric alginate membranes to obtain a pH-sensitive biosensor to monitor wound healing processes and drug delivery. The halochromic behavior was tested in five different acidic media (pH 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) giving a differential colour for each. The antioxidant capacity of the PC extract was evaluated using the ABTS discoloration assay. A 1% (w/v) solution of the lyophilized extract resulted in 55.17 ± 0.46 TEAC mg/g. Phenolic content and equivalents of cyanidin-3-glucoside were evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu and pH differential assays, respectively, resulting in 36.1 ± 0.55 GAE mg and 8.63 ± 0.54 of C-3-G mg per gram of lyophilized extract, respectively. Finally, the PC extract was embedded in alginate (AL) membranes and characterized by contact angle and transparency.
