Currently researched types of honey-infused scaffolds

No. Techniques Characteristics Drawbacks References
1 Electrospinning Manufactured by impregnating honey into electrospun nanofibers. High surface area-to-volume ratio enables bio-resorption and a permeable structure. Considered easiest to apply, most efficient, and cost‐effective Fiber morphology can be affected by the addition of honey [7]
2 Hydrogels A solid gel-like structure made from a polymer solution cross-linked at ambient temperature Many types of honey and polymers are used to produce these hydrogels [7]
3 Cryogels Produced by freezing a polymer solution immediately after cross-linking, causing ice crystals to form surrounded by the formation of gel-like matrices Such scaffolds have a wide range of active ingredients, making it difficult to evaluate the efficacy of individual honey types [88]
