Potential use of curcumin loaded carboxymethylated guar gum grafted gelatin film for biomedical applications.

Present study describes the synthesis of carboxylmethyl guar gum (CMGG) from the native guar gum (GG). Further, the prepared CMGG is grafted with gelatin to form CMGG-g-gelatin and then mixed with curcumin to prepare a biomaterial. The resultant biomaterial is subjected to the analysis of (1)H NMR, ATR-FTIR, TGA, SEM and XRD ensure the carboxymethylation and grafting.
