Thiol Modification of Psyllium Husk Mucilage and Evaluation of Its Mucoadhesive Applications

Thiol functionalization of psyllium was carried out to enhance its mucoadhesive potential. Thiolation of psyllium was achieved by esterification with thioglycolic acid. Thiolation was observed to change the surface morphology of psyllium from fibrous to granular and result in a slight increase in t...
