Abstract
Among the diseases of the digestive tract, gastro-oesophageal reflux is one of the most troublesome ailments. It is estimated that in highly developed countries, reflux symptoms occur in about 5%-10% of people every day. It has also been found that about 20% of people experience such symptoms once a week. The incidence of this disease increases with age, regardless of gender. The aim of the study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of gels intended for the protection of the oesophageal mucosa. Preparations containing 3.0% pectin showed the lowest pH. These gels can be used in the treatment of advanced alkaline reflux. The addition of chitosan to all tested gels increased their pH and dynamic viscosity. The texture tests showed the effect of pectin concentration on the adhesion work of the tested gels.
期刊介绍：
Progress in the Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives is an annual journal focused on all aspects of production, modification, enzymology and application of chitin and its many derivatives, including chitosan. The journal publishes full-length papers as well as invited reviews. To be considered, papers must present original research that has not been published or accepted for publication elsewhere. The language of the journal will be English.
