Abstract
The supercritical CO2 impregnation of pink pepper essential oil (EO) can bring its bioactive properties to a biomaterial in a green approach, making it multifunctional. Aiming to obtain a gelatin-siloxane cryogel loaded with pink pepper EO for biomedical applications and to understand the impact of the impregnation conditions, gelatin was crosslinked with (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane and lyophilized, and the impregnation was studied using a design of experiments with conditions from 10 to 30 MPa and 35–60 °C. The cryogel synthesis was confirmed by FTIR, %gel and TGA. Its biocompatibility was demonstrated through SEM, water uptake and cytotoxicity studies. It was shown that, due to the influence on the solubility of the EO in scCO2, varying pressure and temperature influences the impregnation, which showed {20 MPa; 35 °C} as its best condition. Therefore, a cryogel suitable for implantation with potential to reduce side effects related with infection and inflammation was obtained.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
