Procyanidin gels based on cellulose and carraghenan derivatives

Abstract

The formulation of procyanidin gels based on cellulose and carraghenan derivatives was studied. These gels need to have pH values compatible with anti-ulcer therapy, and a satisfactory viscosity. Their consistency was evaluated by measuring their spreading diameter, and by a rheological study. The speading diameter and viscosity of the formulations based on cellulose derivatives were linearly related.
