INTRODUCTION The field of Novel Drug Delivery System is emerging at an exponential rate with the deep understanding gained in diversified fields of Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering and Nanotechnology. Many of the recent formulation approaches utilize Nanotechnology that is the preparation of Nanosized structures containing the API. Nanotechnology, as defined by the National Nanotechnology ...

The steady deformation and breakup of emulsion drops in a uniform electric field are considered experimentally. Due to the low volume fraction of inner drops, the emulsions can be effectively assumed as Newtonian fluids with spatial nonuniformity. The measurements of the electrical properties show that the oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion drop behaves like a conducting drop. On the other hand, the w...

Food manufacturers are interested in developing emulsion-based products into nutritional foods by using beneficial oils, such as fish oil and virgin coconut oil (VCO). In this study, the physicochemical properties of a VCO oil-in-water emulsion was investigated and compared to other commercial oil-in-water emulsion products (C1, C2, C3, and C4). C3 exhibited the smallest droplet size of 3.25 µm...

The effects of replacing pork back fat with brewer's spent grain (BSG) pre-emulsion for physicochemical, textural properties, and sensory evaluations of reduced-fat chicken sausages are evaluated. Control was prepared with 15% pork back fat, and three reduced-fat chicken sausages were formulated with the replacement of 20, 25, and 30% pork back fat with BSG pre-emulsion. The pH level of reduced...

A novel, rapid and simple method for the preparation of emulsion-templated monoliths in microfluidic channels based on thiol-ene chemistry is presented. The method allows monolith synthesis and anchoring inside thiol-ene microchannels in a single photoinitiated step. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy showed that the methanol-based emulsion templating process resulted in a network...

The application of X-rays to microscopic study of thin specimens was first attempted by Heycock and Neville' in 1897, two years after the discovery of X-rays. This was followed in 1913 by Goby's' demonstration of microscopic details of small biological samples by radiographing the thin specimen in close contact with a photographic plate. The negative was subsequently enlarged photographically. ...

Polymerised High Internal Phase Emulsions (PolyHIPEs) are manufactured via emulsion templating and exhibit a highly interconnected microporosity. These materials are commonly used as thin membranes for 3D cell culture. This study uses emulsion templating in combination with microstereolithography to fabricate PolyHIPE scaffolds with a tightly controlled and reproducible architecture. This combi...

OBJECTIVE, To study the stability of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), used as therapeutic agent in treatment of cardiovascular and mitochondrial diseases, in three liquid formulations: two soybean oil solutions (50 mg/ml), one of them with the addition of vitamin E and an O/W emulsion (20 mg/ml) for pediatric use. Furthermore, optimize and validate a stabilityindicating HPLC method for the analysis of CoQ...

Double emulsion solvent evaporation technique is one of the most attractive methods used to prepare micro and nanoparticles in pharmaceutical areas of interest, but because of the effects of many formulation factors on the size and release behavior of the fabricated particles, optimization of the formulation factors is needed. In this study various parameters including technical and composition...
