Abstract Genipin cross-linked/boron doped starch/polyvinily alcohol (PVA) based hydrogel (SH-GNP-B)
was synthesized as a new material having antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. The prepared
hydrogel was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
(FTIR), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) methods
and evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activities against selected organisms by disc diffusion
tests. The antioxidant activity of the prepared hydrogels was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-
picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assays. Swelling behavior of the hydrogel was also investigated.
The synthesized hydrogel was thermally stable and showed pH independent swelling tendency.
SH-GNP-B hydrogel was found to have antimicrobial… More >
