Abstract
Biopolymers are the polymers extracted from living organisms either from renewable plant or animal sources are gaining importance due to their better biodegradability, biocompatibility, less/no immunogenicity, less/no toxicity, and availability
Highlights
Biopolymers have earmarked their importance in the biomedical and pharmaceutical applications
Several strategies are on a play like functionalization of biopolymers with physicochemical modification, functionalization of lipids with biopolymers, development of composites or hybrid systems for bringing together the benefits of individual moieties/systems and technical advancements
One such concept is the combined application of biopolymers with lipids and lipid-based systems [1]
Summary
Biopolymers have earmarked their importance in the biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Biopolymers are the polymers obtained from natural resources and are biocompatible, biodegradable, no or less antigenic, bioactive, easy to fabricate, comparatively stable, and supporting to cell growth and proliferation [3,4]. Gelatin: Gelatin is a cheap and water-soluble protein obtained from collagen (derived from skin, bones, connective tissues of animals like sheep, pig, cattle, and fish) upon acidic or alkaline hydrolysis.
