Experimental methodology

Collection and processing of sample

    • Sample of varied plant species will be collected and will be washed and sliced

Steam blanched

    • Sliced parts will be steam blanched for 10 min and further blended in salt solutions.

​

Filtration and centrifugation

    • The slurry will be stored at below temperature and then, filtered. Further, the filtrate will be centrifuged which the supernatant will be collected.

​

​

Concentration : The supernatant will be mixed with ethanol and kept at 4 degree for 24 hours and then, centrifuged to precipitate the mucilage. The precipitate will be freeze-dried and then, ground to obtain mucilage powder.

Wound dressing/ Transdermal patches are like the unsung heroes of drug delivery! They offer several advantages to society:

  1. Convenience: People can avoid the hassle of frequent pills or injections. Just stick on a patch, and you're good to go.
  2. Steady Release: Patches provide a controlled and consistent release of medication over an extended period. This helps maintain a stable level of the drug in the bloodstream, improving its effectiveness.
  3. Reduced Side Effects: By avoiding peaks and valleys in drug concentration, patches can minimize side effects compared to other delivery methods.
  4. Improved Compliance: Since patches are easy to use and require less frequent administration, people are more likely to stick to their treatment plans.
  5. Pain-Free Administration: No needles involved! This is especially beneficial for those who fear injections or have difficulty swallowing pills.
  6. Avoiding Digestive System Impact: Some medications can cause irritation in the digestive system, but transdermal patches bypass this altogether.
  7. Long-Lasting Effects: Patches can provide prolonged therapeutic effects, reducing the frequency of administration and healthcare visits.

So, these little patches are like the silent guardians of health, making medication easier, more effective, and with fewer hassles for everyone!
