This book explores the use of various plant polysaccharides for pharmaceutical purposes
including drug delivery. It examines the exploitation of plant polysaccharides' auxiliary
functions to enhance drug release stability bioavailability and target specificity.
Plant-derived materials are at the center of drug-delivery research thanks to their
non-toxicity biodegradability ready availability eco-friendliness and low extraction costs.
These materials include polysaccharides a class of naturally occurring polymers consisting of
glucose monomers which serve as storage carbohydrates in cereals root vegetables rhizomes
seeds fruits etc.
