Seed galactomannans commonly known as seed gums, are important food hydrocolloids used all over the world in different industries. They exhibit excellent binding, suspending, emulsifying, thickening, stabilizing and water-holding properties and could be utilized for the preparation of pharmaceutical dosage forms like tablets, syrups, suspensions, lotions, ointments and for sustained drug releas...

soy protein concentrate (spc) is a functional and nutritional product which is produced under conditions where soy proteins are immobilized in soy flour and soluble carbohydrates are removed. in this study, four different soy flours including defatted soy flour (fat content 3.67, pdi 55.10), defatted and toasted soy flour (fat content 3.78, pdi 10.72), low fat soy flour (fat content 14.34, pdi ...

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of ultrasound times and amplitudes on particle sizes emulsifying properties samples whey protein concentrate (WPC). (US) application performed using VC-7500 ultrasonic power equipment at a 20 kHz frequency, various (10, 20, 30 min 50% amplitude) (60%, 80%, 100% for 5 min). results showed that US procedure had significant effect (p&l...

A study on Boletus edulis mushrooms subjected to either hot air drying (HAD) or centrifugal vacuum (CVD) was performed evaluate and compare their functional properties, fatty acids, aroma compounds. Better flowability a higher rehydration ratio were observed for HAD powders, while enhanced indices of water solubility, emulsifying activity, stability noticed CVD ones. The composition 21 identifi...

Observation of both tensio-active and emulsifying activities indicated that biosurfactants were produced by the newly isolated and promising strain Pseudomonas putida 21BN. The biosurfactants were identified as rhamnolipids, the amphiphilic surface-active glycolipids usually secreted by Pseudomonas spp. Their production was observed when the strain was grown on soluble substrates, such as gluco...

The breaking and coalescence process in bitumen emulsions during their application strongly influences the resulting long-term mechanical performance of the cold mix asphalt. This phase separation process is affected by physico-chemical changes at the bitumen/water interface. This paper describes the effects of addition of different salts on the destabilization of bitumen emulsions. This study ...

The supersaturatable self-emulsifying drug delivery system (S-SEDDS) represents a new thermodynamically stable formulation approach wherein it is designed to contain a reduced amount of a surfactant and a water-soluble cellulosic polymer (or other polymers) to prevent precipitation of the drug by generating and maintaining a supersaturated state in vivo. The S-SEDDS formulations can result in e...

In recent years, several oconjugation protocols have been developed to improve the functional properties of the enzyme lysozyme. In this study, the optimum conditions of lysozyme – oxidized inulin conjugation and functional properties of the modified lysozyme were investigated. Initially, inulin (MW about 25 kDa) was oxidized by periodate to provide the reactive carbonyl groups  to attach to am...
