Abstract
This work aims to evaluate carrageenan as a potential biocomposite for hard capsule in the drug delivery application. The interaction between carrageenan and isovanillin was studied by modeling their molecule electronic surface potential and enthalpy. Simulation results showed that the physical crosslinking is established at two points: hydroxyl (isovanillin)-sulfate (carrageenan) and aldehyde (isovanillin)-hydroxyl (carrageenan) with strong hydrogen bonds (H-bond) lengths of 1.74–1.79 Å. FTIR showed that isovanillin addition increased the intermolecular H-bond up to 57% as the OH-stretching is shifted from 3376 to 3356 cm−1. At 3 wt.% isovanillin concentration, the tensile strength of the biocomposite film increased to 49% and the hard capsule developed from the formulation solution disintegrated in 9 min. Upon contact with water, the H-bonds broke and caused the carrageenan fragments to dissolve in deionized water. The disintegration and mechanical properties of the crosslinked carrageenan biocomposite film made from renewable and low price materials facilitate the application of the film as hard capsules for drug delivery.
