Formation of calcium alginate gel capsules: Influence of sodium alginate and CaCl2 concentration on gelation kinetics
The formation kinetics of calcium alginate gel capsules is studied. An increase Tn the concentration of alginate gives rise to a reduction In membrane thickness, while an increase in the concentration of calcium chloride leads to the formation of a thicker him.Experimental data are adjusted to the binomial diffusion equation.
