Cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (c9, t11 CLA) producing bacteria have attracted much attention as novel probiotics which have shown beneficial effects on host health. However, bile salts are able to inhibit bacterial growth and c9, t11 CLA production. For recovering growth and c9, t11 CLA production of Lactobacillus acidophilus F0221 in the presence of bile salts, Tween series (Tween 2...

The objective of this study was to develop an efficient ocular nanovesicular carrier providing a controlled delivery of Clotrimazole (CLT); a water insoluble antifungal drug. The nanovesicular carriers were formulated using Span 60 with one of the following edge activators (EA): Tween 80 (TW80), sodium cholate (SC) or sodium deoxycholate (SDC). A 3(2) full factorial design was used to study the...

This work was aimed at evaluating the relative merits of bioaugmentation, biostimulation and surfactant-enhanced bioavailability of a desert soil contaminated by crude oil through biopile treatment. The results show that the desert soil required bioaugmentation and biostimulation for bioremediation of crude oil. The bioaugmented biopile system led to a total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) reductio...

The extraction efficiency of hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), from water has been investigated using a vegetable oil based emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) technique. The main purpose of this study was to create a novel ELM formulation by choosing a more environmentally friendly and non-toxic diluent such as palm oil. The membrane phase so formulated includes the mobile carrier tri-n-octylmethylammon...

Red ginger extract is one of the new medicinal discoveries made from natural substances that has pharmacological benefits in treatment diabetes. Many gingerol components red can aid diabetes mellitus. However, administration not so effective, a delivery system such as SNEDDS (Self-Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery System) must be developed. When compared to standard formulations, boost oral bioava...

The aim of this investigation was to design and develop nanoemulsions (NEs) as novel delivery systems for rapamycin. Phase behavior of quaternary systems composed of Traicetin (as oil), various surfactants and co-surfactants and water at different surfactant/co-surfactant weight ratios was investigated by the construction of phase diagrams. Formulations were taken from the o/w NE region of the ...

solid lipid nanoparticles of atovaquone (atq-sln) were prepared by high shearhomogenization method using tripalmitin, trilaurin, and compritol 888 ato as the lipidmatrices and phospholipon 90h, tween 80, and poloxamer 188 as the surfactants. optimizationof the formulations was conducted using 6 sets of 24 full-factorial design based on fourindependent variables that were the number of homogeniz...

In situ groundwater remediation may be achieved using stationary permeable barriers created by the injection of a substrate, such as innocuous vegetable oil, into the contaminated aquifer. The oil provides the electron donor stimulating microorganisms to degrade or sequester many contaminants. At present, little is known about the best procedures to use when injecting oil into an aquifer. In th...

This research project aimed to provide an environmentally friendly method for the decolorization and biosorption of synthetic dye by utilizing fungi as biosorbents. The study was carried out first growing in solid medium then using biosorbent absorb aqueous solution. In stage, screening experiments were among 5 different types fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus determined have highest growth rate. recu...
