Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel wound-healing formulation composed of honey, whey protein, and collagen
against the skin microbiota associated with delayed wound healing.

Methods: A rat excisional model was employed to assess the wound-healing formulation. Pathogen contraction rates were measured on
various days following the onset of wounds to investigate the formulation’s impact on microbial infection. The formulation, known for its
antimicrobial properties and rich in growth factors, was applied to promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue repair.

Results: The tested wound-healing formulation demonstrated significant effectiveness in promoting the wound-healing process in rats.
The pathogen contraction rates exhibited positive outcomes, indicating the formulation’s potential in addressing microbial infections
associated with delayed wound healing.


Conclusion: This study underscores the promising therapeutic potential of the wound-healing formulation comprising honey, whey
protein, and collagen. The observed positive effects on microbial infection and wound recovery suggest that this formulation could serve
as a valuable intervention in managing delayed wound healing, particularly in conditions such as diabetes, immunosuppressive treatments, and obesity.
