A Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Experience: Bacterial Nanocellulose for Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems Design. Safety and Organoleptic Acceptance Studies

Abstract

Nanotechnology introduces sophistication to traditional pharmaceutical technology. A blank canvas that off ersunexploredo pportunities,where the most subtle physical-chemical interactions introduce significant changes in the behavior of the ingredients in a formula. An example is the plethora of possibilities offeredby the incorporation of nanocellulose in bioinspired products design. Nanoscale cellulose can be obtained through a top-down approach, starting from plant raw materials.
