An Industrial Neutral Konjac Preparation Method Using Microcapsules

Industrial waste management using the rapid impact assessment matrix method for an industrial park

 Due to the growth of population and industrialization, a great number of problems associated with producing industrial wastes have been created for both the environment and human beings. The industrial waste management in Brujen industrial park, located in the western part of Iran, has been investigated in this study using the environmental rapid impact assessment matrix techn...

Preparation and Evaluation of Chitosan Microcapsules of Metronidazole using Tripolyphosphate Cross-linking Method

Metronidazole microcapsules with a coat consisting of alginate and the natural cationic polymer, chitosan were formulated by using tripolyphosphate cross-linking method and were investigated with a view to develop mucoadhesive microcapsules. The microcapsules were evaluated for their surface morphology, microencapsulation efficiency, in-vitro wash-off test, swelling behavior and in-vitro drug r...

Preparation, composition analysis and antioxidant activities of konjac oligo-glucomannan.

Konjac oligo-glucomannan (KOG) was prepared by degradation of konjac glucomannan (KG) using β-mannanase. The hydrolysis process was monitored by the viscosity of the enzymatic hydrolysates. Factors affecting the enzymatic hydrolysis of KG were investigated, and the optimum hydrolysis conditions were as follows: time 2h; temperature 50°C; pH 6.0; and enzymatic concentration 150 U/g. Under these ...

Preparation and Characterization of Novel Microcapsules

Preparation and Properties of Olive Oil Microcapsules

In this paper, microcapsules were produced by complex coacervation using gelatin and acacia as wall materials and olive oil as the core substance. Process parameters, such as the dosage of the crosslinker, concentration of the wall materials, pH Value and the ratio between core and wall materials were analyzed in detail. Moreover, crosslinking degree of wall materials was more important in obta...
