Abstract

See full text

Process for preparing a modified alginate polymers are disclosed. The processes comprise the steps of covalently attaching a modifying moiety to one or more unmodified monomeric subunits of an alginate polymer; and changing one or more unmodified mannuronic (M) monomeric subunits of the alginate polymer to one or more unmodified guluronic (G) monomeric sub-units by an enzymatic epimerization reaction performed in any order. Processes for preparing alginate gels, fiber, and compositions are also disclosed. Modified alginates in which only M monomeric subunits are modified, and alginate gels, fibers and compositions comprising the same, are disclosed.
