Microencapsulation of hemoglobin in chitosan-coated alginate microspheres prepared by emulsification/internal gelation

Chitosan-coated alginate microspheres prepared by emulsification/internal gelation were chosen as carriers for a model protein, hemoglobin (Hb), owing to nontoxicity of the polymers and mild conditions of the method. The influence of process variables related to the emulsification step and microsphe...
