Natural Product-Loaded Chitosan and Collagen-Based Bio-Scaffold and Their Applications

Biopolymers are rapidly evolving materials that are being investigated within the scientific community due to their diverse range of applications. Chitosan- and collagen-based materials, in particular, are suitable bioactive materials due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability as well as their remarkable features such as formability into different types of shapes and fabricability which diverse variety of bioactive agents. These molecules are widely used in a variety of biological sectors that include tissue engineering, methods for delivering medications, cosmetology, pharmacological, and the food industry, in their pure or composite form. This book chapter outlines the complete structure, categorization, derivatization, and uses of diverse natural products containing chitosan- and collagen-based bio-scaffolds.
