Synergistic interactions in dilute aqueous solutions between alginate and tropical vegetal hydrocolloids
Encapsulation in alginate beads has always been limited by the leakage due to the too wide distribution of Cereal pore sizes.Mixing alginate with other polymers have sometimes reduced the problem.Hydrocolloids from seven tropical vegetal species (barks of Triumfetta cordifolia and Bridelia thermifolia, seeds of Irvingia gabonensis and Beilschmiedia
