Development of inulin nanocarrier for effective oral delivery of insulin: synthesize, optimization, characterization, and biophysical study.

The susceptibility of insulin against gastric acid degradation presents a major challenge for oral insulin delivery. The potential of biopolymer-based nanocarriers was investigated in order to address this issue. Inulin, a biopolymer produced by the halophilic bacterium Salinivibrio sp.
