Research
area: Production of β glucans and its Applications
A majority of drug delivery systems using natural polymers have been based on Polysaccharides. Polysaccharides have attracted increasing interest as the drug carriers because they are commercially available at low cost and exhibit a broad range of physicochemical properties. The capacity of the cyclic β- glucans to form inclusion complexes suggests that these molecules may find industrial applications. The aim of research includes Production of β glucans and its industrial applications.
