Abstract

The Carboxymethyl Tamarind Kernel Gum (CMTKG) is a natural based polysaccharide which has been derived from the Tamarind kernel gum (TKG) through the carboxymethylation process. The chemical alteration of TKG into CMTKG has resulted in amplifying swelling capacity, in situ gelations, wide pH tolerance, high drug holding efficiency, stability, release kinetics, and hydrophilicity. Out of many application-based areas, it has extensively been used in the field of drug delivery systems via developing various forms like nanoparticles, composites, films, hydrogels, and pellets. This article is planned to fill in as a helpful tool for research scholars, who are engaged in green polymers, and in giving almost every aspect of CMTKG in the sphere of drug delivery.
