Abstract Hexanal and salicylaldehyde are naturally-occurring antimicrobial volatiles from edible plants known for their efficacy post-harvest preservation of fruits vegetables. Due to volatility susceptibility oxidation, these must be encapsulated within a carrier control release, especially when applied in modified atmnosphere active packaging applications. In this study, precursor (SP; 1,3-di...

Edible electronics will enable systems that can be safely ingested and degraded in the human body after completing their function, such as sensing physiological parameters or biological markers gastrointestinal tract, without risk of retention need recollection. The same are potentially suitable for directly tagging food, monitoring its quality, developing edible soft actuators control abilitie...

Floating multi-layer coated tablets were designed based on gas formation. The system consists of a drug-containing core tablet coated with a protective layer (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a gas forming layer (sodium bicarbonate) and a gas-entrapped membrane, respectively. The mechanical properties of acrylic polymers (Eudragit RL 30D, RS 30D, NE 30D) and ethylcellulose were characterized by ...

6 Gastroenterology & Hepatology Volume 6, Issue 1, Supplement 1 January 2010 Multiple daily dosing of 5-ASA for UC has been a standard practice since the 1940s. However, these regimens can lead to poor patient adherence. Recently, several 5-ASA formulations have demonstrated non-inferiority to multiple daily dosing, including ethylcellulose-coated microgranules (Pentasa),1 Multi-Matrix delayed ...

The objective of the study was to develop a stomach-specific drug delivery system for controlled release of clarithromycin for eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Floating-bioadhesive microspheres of clarithromycin (FBMC) were prepared by emulsification-solvent evaporation method using ethylcellulose as matrix polymer and Carbopol 934P as mucoadhesive polymer. The prepared microsphe...

Oral dosage forms are by far the most common prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical used worldwide. However, many patients suffer from adverse effects caused their use of “one-size fits all” mass produced commercially available solid forms, whereby they do not receive dedicated medication or adjusted to specific needs. The development 3D printing paves way for personalised medicine. T...
