This review presents and critically evaluates recent advances in non-conventional gelation method of native alginate. A special focus is given to the following three methods: cryotropic gelation, non-solvent induced phase separation and carbon dioxide induced gelation. A few other gelation approaches are also briefly reviewed. Results are discussed in the context of subsequent freeze and supercritical drying. The methods are selected so as to provide the readers with a range of novel tools and tactics of pore engineering for alginate and other anionic polysaccharides.
本综述介绍并批判性地评估了天然藻酸盐非传统凝胶化方法的最新进展。特别关注以下三种方法:低温凝胶化、非溶剂诱导相分离和二氧化碳诱导凝胶化。还简要回顾了其他一些凝胶化方法。在随后的冷冻和超临界干燥背景下讨论了结果。选择这些方法是为了给读者提供一系列用于藻酸盐和其他阴离子多糖的新型孔工程工具和策略。
