Abstract
The process of wound healing involves complex interplay of systems biology, dependent on coordination of various cell types, both intra and extracellular mechanisms, proteins, and signaling pathways. To enhance these interactions, drugs must be administered precisely and continuously, effectively regulating the intricate mechanisms involved in the body's response to injury. Controlled drug delivery systems (DDS) play a pivotal role in achieving this objective. A proficient DDS shields the wound from mechanical, oxidative, and enzymatic stress, against bacterial contamination ensuring an adequate oxygen supply while optimizing the localized and sustained delivery of drugs to target tissue. A pH-sensitive SPH was designed by blending two natural polysaccharides, Opuntia mucilage and carrageenan, using microwave irradiation and optimized according to swelling index at pH 1.2, 7.0, and 8.0 and % porosity. Optimized grade was analyzed for surface hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity using OCA. Analytical characterizations were performed using FTIR, TGA, XRD, DSC, reflecting semicrystalline behavior. Mechanical property confirmed adequate strength. In vitro drug release study with ciprofloxacin-HCL as model drug showed 97.8 % release within 10 h, fitting to the Korsmeyer-Peppas model following diffusion and erosion mechanism. In vitro antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory assays, zebrafish toxicity, and animal studies in mice with SPH concluded it as a novel biomaterial.

Comparative Analysis of the Chemical Composition and Physicochemical Properties of the Mucilage Extracted from Fresh and Dehydrated Opuntia ficus indica Cladodes. Foods 2021; 10:foods10092137.

Abstract
The development of sustainable extraction methods to obtain natural products constitutes a challenge for the food industry. The aim of this work was to compare yield, separation efficiency, chemical composition, and physicochemical properties of the mucilage extracted from fresh cladodes (FNM) and mucilage extracted from dehydrated cladodes (DNM) of O. ficus indica. Suspensions of fresh and dehydrated cladodes (4% w/w) were prepared for mucilage extraction by using a mechanical separation process. Subsequently, the separated mucilage was precipitated with ethyl alcohol (1:2 v/v) then, yield and separation efficiency were determined. The mucilage was characterized by measuring Z potential, viscosity, color, and texture attributes. Additionally, chemical proximate analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were conducted. No significant differences (p < 0.05) were detected in the yield and separation efficiencies between samples. Nevertheless, the dehydration process of cladodes prior to mucilage extraction increased protein, ashes, nitrogen free extract, and calcium content. The viscosity was higher in DNM than in FNM. The TGA revealed a different thermal behavior between samples. In addition, the DNM showed lower L (darkness/lightness), cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and springiness values than those of FNM. These results support that differences found between the chemical and physicochemical properties of DNM and those of FNM will determine the applications of the mucilage obtained from the O. ficus indica cladodes in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
