Hierarchically Structured Gelatin Gels Incorporating Chitosan–Oleic Acid Complex Particles for Hydrophobic Nutrient Delivery
This study developed a gelatin (GL) hydrogel incorporating fine particles of chitosan–oleic acid (CHI–OA) complex as a potential carrier material for the delivery of hydrophobic nutrients. The resulting system formed a composite gel with a hierarchical structure involving the association of oleic acid alkyl chains, par...
