However, when size was determined after 3 days from the development of nanoparticles, the size was found to increase and the distribution was random. This happens due to Oswald ripening.3.1.2 Size of different alginate based nanoparticles at varying surfactant immersionDifferent alginate based nanoparticles w ere developed without enzyme immobilization at different tightnesss of surfactant ranging from beneath particular micelle compactness value to its shed as given in Method .
