Acacia nilotica based hydrogel and method of making the same

Abstract

An Acacia nilotica based hydrogel may include chitosan in a 1% lactic acid solution, glycerol in distilled water, and Acacia nilotica. The Acacia nilotica may be an active ingredient. A method of treating wounds may include using the Acacia nilotica-based hydrogel. The Acacia nilotica-based hydrogel may be made by dissolving chitosan in a lactic acid solution to obtain a mixture, adding glycerol in distilled water to the mixture to obtain a second mixture, stirring the second mixture continuously to obtain a homogeneous hydrogel, and adding Acacia nilotica powder to the homogeneous hydrogel to obtain a wound healing hydrogel.
