A Novelistic Biomaterial from Natural Source: its Isolation and Physico-Chemical Characterization

Abstract

The objective of this research was to isolate the biomaterial from Juglans regia and explore its different inbuilt polymeric properties by performing different physico-chemical analysis. As we know there are a number of polymers available and frequently used in design and delivery of novel drug targeting tool or carrier systems. But isolated biomaterial from natural source have proved about their novelistic different properties like biodegradable, bioretardant, bioadhesive, filmability etc. These properties are the key factor in design the novel drug targeting tool. So these polymeric properties identified in the natural source biomaterials have drawn the attention of researchers. So in this study the isolated biomaterial was subjected to various physicochemical evaluations along with spectral analysis including UV, FT-IR, Mass and 1H NMR, SEM, rheological characteristics and cell-line toxicity study The isolated biomaterial was found tom be polymeric in nature having a numerous functional properties. On the basis of its inbuilt polymeric properties, the biomaterial isolated from Juglan regia seed, can be used as an alternative to available standard polymers at very economical scale. The isolated biopolymer consisted of a unique polymeric properties similar to available standard polymers.
