In another study, the use of starch grafted with amino acid-based monomers by using microwave-assisted grafting technique was studied in terms of use as a carrier in a colon targeted drug delivery system [48]. 

In the recent years, the usage of polymeric materials for drug delivery matrix tablets has become prevalent. Current research into the utilization of the metabolic activity and the colonic environment in the lower gastrointestinal tract has attained immense value in the design of novel colon targeted drug delivery systems by the utilization of natural biodegradable polymers.
