GELATIN/PECTIN COMPOSITE FILM WITH CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION
AbstractDue to its similarity to the cell membrane seen in living organisms, gelatin is a natural biopolymer commonly used in tissue engineering applications. However, the rheological properties of gelatin formulations preclude their use in extrusion-based bioprinting. Using pectin as a viscosities modifier and formaldehyde for gelatin as a gelatin-pectin crosslinking agent, we offer a technique in the current work to improve the gelatin bioprinting capabilities. The primary goal of creating the gelatin-pectin formulation is to create a homogenous gelatin-pectin composite. Through defrost, microporous gelatin-pectin-formaldehyde sponges are produced, and their inborn characteristics, such as porosity, particle shape, degree of swelling, flexural modulus, and cell attachment examined. This is so that the crosslinking reaction may be completed when using formaldehyde, which calls for a drying phase. Rheological studies were conducted after that.
