Polysaccharide-Based Superporous, Superabsorbent, and Stimuli Responsive Hydrogel from Sweet Basil: A Novel Material for Sustained Drug Release

<div>Swelling behavior in deionized water and different pH (a). Comparison of swelling capacity (g/g) of BSH with already reported polysaccharides LSH (Linseed hydrogel) [<a href="/journals/apt/2019/9583516/#B10">10</a>], QH (Quince seed hydrogel) [<a href="/journals/apt/2019/9583516/#B4">4</a>], MPH (<i>Mimosa pudica</i> hydrogel) [<a href="/journals/apt/2019/9583516/#B3">3</a>], and NaCMC (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) [<a href="/journals/apt/2019/9583516/#B36">36</a>] in the first 90 min (b). Second-order swelling kinetics of BSH in different media (c).</div>
