Determination of the effect of ascorbyl palmitate on the physicochemical, structural, pharmacokinetic, and antioxidant properties of the polysaccharide/gelatin carriers.

The dataset contains the results of research on the properties of films (hydrogels) obtained from a mixture of polysaccharides with emulsion-stabilizing effects (gum Arabic (GAR), octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch, and water-soluble soy polysaccharides (WSSP)) and gelatin (GEL) supplemented with increasing concentrations (0, 1 and 2% w/w) of ascorbyl palmitate. The characteristics of the obtained films included the determination of physicochemical (water content, pH, solubility, determination of surface hydrophobicity), optical properties (color, light transmission, transparency), structural properties (microscopy), barrier properties (water vapor permeability ), mechanical (puncture strenght, tensile strength, elongation at break, elastic modulus), pharmacokinetic (modeling of release kinetics) and antioxidants properties.The aim of the present study was to assess the functional properties of edible 75/25 blend films based on polysaccharides (GAR, OSA, WSSP) and GEL incorporated with increasing AP contents (1% and 2%).
