Abstract
A process for preparing curcumin encapsulated chitosan alginate sponge comprising the steps of: incorporating curcumin in a fluid phase of oleic acid; subjecting the mixture to a step of emulsification with chitosan solution by homogenization; emulsifying the resultant solution with alginate solution by homogenization; lyophilizing the final emulsion by freeze drying to produce curcumin loaded AC sponge.
