Natural gum: an option to prepare nanocarriers

The tree gum polysaccharide and their nanostructure are used eventually in various food and non-food industries. They attracted interest because of their makeup, non-toxicity and biological compatibility. They are currently being investigated as delivery systems for oral medicinal compounds. Natural gums have attracted more interest in the area of drug delivery systems due to their unique attributes. They are derived from bacteria, plants and algae. They are thought to be attractive prospective medication carriers as they have excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. They swell in the intestine and are degraded by the colon microbiome. The original compounds are blended with other polymers to modify their properties as per requirements. Gums and gum-derived compounds can be used to prepare micro and nanoformulations that can deliver the drugs via different routes. In this review, We detailed and outlined the most recent studies on micro-and nanoparticles made from gums that have been extensively researched in pharmaceutical technology. This review focuses on the most crucial elements influencing the properties of micro-and nanoparticle systems and their applications as medication delivery systems.
