Author Description

The process of wound healing is promoted by several natural products, plant products which are composed of active principles such as triterpenes, alkaloids and bio-molecules.These agents usually influence one or more phases of wound healing process.Soya bean is one of the most important and widely consumed legume crops in the world. Soya protein is the only vegetable source of complete protein of a quality comparable to meat and eggs, which contains all the essential amino acids required by humans and animals. It also contains linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, both polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential nutrients but also increasingly recognized to reduce the risk of chronic age-related diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. These nutrients can also contribute to the prevention of hair loss and wound healing. The efficacy of the composite bio-material made of soya protein and sago starch cross linked with gluteraldehyde (SG-SY-G) as temporary wound dressing material using the rat as an animal model was reported.The results of the histological and mechanical studies revealed the efficacy of bio-material prepared.
