This study examined the effect of honey in gellan gum (GG) hydrogel containing virgin coconut oil (VCO). Their mechanical, physical, thermal properties and in-vivo healing potential on dermal wounds were investigated. The compression performance results show that the inclusion of honey into gellan g...
