the formation of a cream and gel is described using a biopolymer , such as a polyhydroxyalkanoate , a polylactide , a polylactideglycolide and a polyglycoside , or a derivative thereof , in a latex form with the addition of a binder , which is generally an amphiphilic chemical entity . an hydrophobic domain of the amphiphilic chemical entity interacts with at least one biopolymer forming a water soluble complex , while the hydrophilic domain of the amphiphilic chemical entity maintains the soluble complex in suspension in an aqueous solution , which after proper heating becomes a gel or a cream . as a result , a versatile gel or cream is created with different compositions and textures that are obtained based on the nature of the binder used and the ratio of biopolymers and binder .
