Scree plot obtained for the variables using the results of the ANOVA analysis. (a) Time to release 50% of entrapment drug, (b) area under the curve, (c) entrapment efficiency, (d) swelling rate, (e) shape factor, and (f) Diameter medium. *Values with statistical significance (𝛼<0,01). A: TEA; B: Carbopol (% w/v); C: flux rate (mL/min); D: stirring rate (rpm); E: retention time (min.); F: drying method; G: NaCl (% w/v); H: pH.
