A new organic-inorganic complex based on copper ions with pullulan
polysaccharide can be used for the treatment of copper deficiency in human
organism. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to carry out the stress
stability study of this potential active substance by the use of mathematical
modelling. A full factorial design was successfully applied for the stability
studying. The electrical conductivity was taken as the response, while the
degradation time, concentration of the oxidative agent, temperature, and pH
value were used as the independent variables. All process variables were
analyzed at the three levels. On the basis of statistical analysis of data
for the thermal stability study, the temperature and degradation time had the
main impact on the conductivity of the complex solution. The degradation time
had the significant effect in the case of oxidative stability study. In
addition to the degradation time, the pH value and the temperature had the
significant effect on the complex stability for the hydrolytic stability
study.
