Abstract

Alginate is a biomaterial that can be easily integrated into many application areas such as biomedical, pharmaceutical, engineering, due to its favorable properties such as biocompatibility and ease of gelation. Alginate polymers are used in tissue engineering (preserving structural similarity in tissues to extracellular matrices) applications in many pharmaceutical-based applications. In this review study, it is aimed to give information about alginate, its chemical structure, general properties, morphological properties of alginate sources, extraction methods, especially its use in the biomedical field.

Özet

Aljinat, biyouyumluluk ve jelasyon kolaylığı gibi elverişli özelliklerinden dolayı biyomedikal, farmasötik, mühendislik gibi birçok uygulama alanlarına kolayca entegre edilebilen bir biyomalzemedir. Aljinat polimerleri, farmasötik tabanlı birçok uygulamada, doku mühendisliği (dokulardaki hücre dışı matrislere yapısal benzerliği koruması) uygulamaları kapsamında kullanılmaktadır. Bu derleme çalışmasında, aljinat, kimyasal yapısı, genel özellikleri, aljinat kaynakları morfolojik özellikleri, ekstraksiyon yöntemleri, özellikle biyomedikal alanda kullanımı hakkında bilgiler verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
