Alginate Formulation for Wound Healing Applications

Alginate, sourced from seaweed, holds significant importance in industrial and biomedical domains due to its versatile properties. Its chemical composition, primarily comprising β-D-mannuronic acid and α-L-guluronic acid, governs its physical and biological attributes. This polysaccharide, extracted from brown algae and bacteria, offers diverse compositions impacting key factors such as molecular weight, flexibility, solubility, and stability.
