Table 4.

Independent variables and responses used in a 23 full factorial experimental design for the formulation and optimization of SIT-GA nano-conjugates.

Independent Variables Levels
(‒1) (+1)
X1: SIT concentration (mM) 1 10
X2: GA concentration (mM) 1 10
X3: pH 6 10
Responses Desirability constraints
Y1: particle size (nm) Minimize
Y2: zeta potential (mV) Maximize
