Amphiphilic Modified Galactomannan as a Novel Potential Carrier for Hydrophobic Compounds

The present work aims at developing and characterizing a modified galactomannan for the production of nano-sized micelles through the solvent diffusion method and its evaluation as a new carrier for hydrophobic compounds. Guar gum galactomannan was acetylated and a new polymer with different degrees...
