This study investigated the gel strength and syneresis of cuboid alginate gels (2× 2x1. 4 cm)
using 2% Na-alginate solutions as a function of gelling time, CaCl 2 solution concentrations …

Previous studies indicated that physical characteristics of food influence satiety, but the
relative importance of the oral, gastric, and intestinal behaviors of the food is unclear. The …

Hydrogels are mechanically stabilized through the action of external agents which induce
the formation of crosslinks in the polymer network as a consequence of transport and …

Calcium alginate structures are of interest to the meat industry as replacers for natural
casings. This paper focuses on the study of the physical properties of sodium alginate …

Hydrogels have been widely used for 3-dimensional (3D) cell culture and tissue
regeneration due to their tunable biochemical and physicochemical properties as well as …
