MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511127230 A) filed by Swami Rama Himalayan University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Dec. 16, 2025, for 'a multifunctional hydrogel bead composition for controlled fish oil delivery in anti-aging and regenerative applications.'
Inventor(s) include Archna Dhasmana; Subham Preetam; Sumira Malik; and Sanjay Gupta.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides multifunctional hydrogel beads for controlled fish oil delivery in anti-aging and regenerative applications. The beads feature a polymeric matrix comprising a 1:1 blend of sodium alginate and orange peel extract that forms a three-dimensional network by ionic crosslinking with a calcium chloride solution and hydrogen bonding interactions, and incorporate fish oil as a hydrophobic active agent. The beads are produced by dropwise dispensing of a homogeneous aqueous mixture into the crosslinking medium, enabling immediate gelation, with subsequent optional washing and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy characterization to confirm the formation of ionic bonds and hydrogen bond shifts. This innovation presents an efficient, controlled release system suitable for therapeutic and cosmetic uses."
