Gelatine solution compatibility

Thermodynamic compatibility of the partners of a complex is another condition which must be accounted for in complex formation. Thermodynamically incompatible components separate into two phases. Tolstoguzov et a/.984 studied complexes of starch with gelatin in aqueous solutions and showed that complexation requires adjustment of the solution acidity and... 

VegiCap Soft capsules provide some technical benefits that gelatin-based capsules cannot provide. One of the disadvantages with gelatin capsules is the incompatibility with alkaline fill solution. VegiCap Soft shell is compatible with fill solution with pH value as high as 12. ... 

Incompatibilities poorly compatible with citric acid and saccharose solutions. Incompatible with ascorbic acid, gelatin, glucose, lactose, oxidizing agents, and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. 

HPC is compatible with most water-soluble gums and resins, and yields homogeneous solutions with MC, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), carboxymelhyl cellulose (CMC), guar, alginate, and locust bean gum, gelatin, sodium caseinate, poly(ethylene oxide), carbowax, etc. (Figure 26.2)... 

Tris-acryl gelatin microspheres have been proven to be stable in a standard chemoembolization solution and some centers have adopted their use [1]. Tris-acryl gelatin microspheres have been also tested for compatibility with several chemotherapeutic agents and can be mixed with carboplatin, mitomycin C, 5-fluorouracil, or pirarubicin for chemoembolization without any risk of harmfully altering their morphology, dimensions, or geometric characteristics [70]. 

Solutions of locust bean gum have a pH between 5 and 7 and are highly viscous like those of guar gum. They behave similarly toward pH changes (stable over pH 3-11), borate ions, and organic solvents. Locust bean gum is compatible with gelatin, starch, and other plant gums (see guar gum). 

Albumin and gelatin are being widely used for modifying the polymeric substrates to improve their blood compatibility because of their passive nature in attaching the platelets., i4 collagen has been tried as a membrane and demostrated superior permeability of solutes. Thus it appears that the protein blended membranes may be superior with respect to compatibility and permeability.
