he article provides an analysis of the current state Kramal processing industry Republic Belarus, dynamics production native starch, volume exports and imports modified starches. One areas use starch is drilling reagents on its basis, intended
 for in oil gas industries, as well geological exploration. They have great potential to reduce import dependence domestic industry, also export pot...

Rice starch is used as an additive in various food and industrial products. With the inherent merits of small and uniform size distribution of rice starch and its white color and clean odor, deserts and bakery products are some of the favorable applications among processed foods [1]. The small granular size of the starch imparts it soft texture, high water retention and low syneresis, suggestin...

The present research aims to test the hypothesis that the addition of a minor component causes a change in pore shape in the matrix of the primary component, causing a decrease in mechanical strength. Tablets made of sodium chloride only and tablets made of a mixture of sodium chloride (97.5% v/v) and starch (2.5% v/v) were compared. Tablets were subjected to a heat treatment to remove the star...

Fast-dissolving drug-delivery systems are considered advantageous over the existing conventional oral dosage forms like tablets, capsules, and syrups for being patient friendly. Buccal films are one such system responsible for systemic drug delivery at the desired site of action by avoiding hepatic first-pass metabolism. Metformin hydrochloride (Met), an antidiabetic drug, has poor bioavailabil...

Starch gel electrophoresis has demonstrated that graded concentrations of sodium sulphate do not precipitate the serum globulins in any reasonable degree of purity. The use of this form of electrophoresis has shown that caeruloplasmin is associated with a globulin in the Fa(2) position.This technique can be employed as a screening test for patients suspected of suffering from hepatolenticular d...

Terbinafine hydrochloride is a white to off-white fine crystalline powder. It is freely soluble in methanol and methylene chloride, soluble in ethanol, and slightly soluble in water. Each tablet contains: Active Ingredients: terbinafine hydrochloride (equivalent to 250 mg base) Inactive Ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, NF; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, USP; magnesium stearate, NF; micro...

Editors,—I read with interest the article by Ruttmann, James and Aronson1 concerning haemodilution with hydroxethyl starch and normal saline. However, I disagree with their conclusion that they have shown that haemodilution per se exerted a procoagulant effect in both groups. Instead, I propose that their conclusion should be that they demonstrated that haemodilution with normal saline resulted...

Sweet potato starch was cross-linked using sodium trimetaphosphate and hydroxypropylated using propylene oxide. The level and position of phosphorus and hydroxypropyl groups within cross-linked and hydroxypropylated sweet potato starch was investigated by phosphorus and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P, (1)H NMR). The cross-linking reaction produced monostarch monophosphate...
