Gum karaya is a polysaccharide that has several industrial applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and environmental fields owing to its hydrophilic, anionic, and biocompatible nature. Gum karaya and its modified forms have been assessed for drug delivery, wastewater treatment, and food industry applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various synthetic methods of modification of gum karaya, such as grafting initiated through free radical, microwave-assisted grafting, radiation-assisted, and enzyme-assisted modification methods. In addition, the review outlines collective industrial applications of modified gum karaya in drug delivery systems, removal of heavy atoms, dyes, food, and other biological activities, and suggests possible prospects for gum karaya modification and their remarkable industrial applications.
卡拉胶是一种多糖，由于其亲水性、阴离子性和生物相容性，在制药、食品和环境领域有多种工业应用。卡拉胶及其改性形式已被评估用于药物输送、废水处理和食品工业应用。本综述提供了卡拉胶各种合成改性方法的全面概述，例如通过自由基引发、微波辅助接枝、辐射辅助和酶辅助改性方法进行接枝。此外，该综述还概述了改性卡拉胶在药物传递系统、去除重金属、染料、食品和其他生物活性方面的集体工业应用，并提出了卡拉胶改性及其显著工业应用的可能前景。
