Abstract

The present work focuses on the development of novel injectable, self-gelling composite hydrogels based on two types of low esterified amidated pectins from citrus peels and apple pomace. Sol-gelderived, calcium-rich bioactive glass (BG) fillers in a particle form are applied as delivery vehicles for the release of Ca2+ ions to induce internal gelation of pectins. Composites were prepared by a relatively simple mixing technique, using 20% w/v BG particles of two different sizes (2.5 and <45 µm). Smaller particles accelerated pectin gelation slightly faster than bigger ones, which appears to result from the higher rate of Ca2+ ion release. µCT showed inhomogeneous distribution of the BG particles within the hydrogels. All composite hydrogels exhibited strong antibacterial activity against methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The mineralization process of pectin-BG composite hydrogels occurred upon incubation in simulated body fluid for 28 days. In vitro studies demonstrated cytocompatibility of composite hydrogels with MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells.
