General description
Application
PEG can be used for the effective isolation of edible nanoparticles (ENPs) which have excellent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. PEG is a crowding agent and forms a net-like mesh in which nanovesicles are trapped and precipitated. For example, ginger-derived ENPs are isolated using a PEG-based method which is cost-effective compared to ultracentrifugation.
PEG can be used as a precursor to synthesize degradable hydrogels for the controlled release of hydrophilic and high molecular weight pharmaceuticals.
