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.SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,2191-530XBiomaterialsPharmaceutical technologyCarbohydratesPlant biochemistryBiomaterialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000Pharmaceutical Sciences/Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21010Carbohydrate Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C19030Plant Biochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021Biomaterials.Pharmaceutical technology.Carbohydrates.Plant biochemistry.Biomaterials.Pharmaceutical Sciences/Technology.Carbohydrate Chemistry.Plant Biochemistry.572.566Nayak Amit Kumarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut891639Hasnain Md Saquibauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337931003321Plant Polysaccharides-Based Multiple-Unit Systems for Oral Drug Delivery2499609UNINA
