current ruminant feeding systems depend on knowledge of the composition of feeds and the rate and extent of degradation of feed organic matter (om) and crude protein (cp) in the rumen. the effect of storage and preparation of samples on in vitro gas production and fermentation characteristics of two common forage species, namely alfalfa and ryegrass werestudied. samples were prepared as fresh (...

Some drugs have low bioavailability due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or slowdissolution rate in biological fluids. Stiripentol (STP) is a novel anticonvulsant drug that isstructurally unrelated to the currently available antiepileptics. It has poor aqueous solubilityand its solubility has to be enhanced accordingly. Polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG-6000) iscommonly utilized as a hydrophilic...

It is important to obtain starch-based homogeneous systems for starch modification. Regarding this, an important key point is to find cheap, low-cost and low-toxicity solvents to allow complete dissolution of starch and its easy regeneration. This study reveals that a ZnCl2 aqueous solution is a good non-derivatizing solvent for starch at 50 °C, and can completely dissolve starch granules. The ...

A variety of natural or synthetic calcium phosphate (CaP)-based scaffolds are currently produced for dental and orthopaedic applications. These scaffolds have been shown to stimulate bone formation due to their biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity. The release of the [Formula: see text] ions from these scaffolds is of great interest in light of the aforementioned properties....

Rabeprazole sodium (RAB) dissolved in acidic media is accompanied by its degradation in the course of dissolution testing. To develop and establish the accumulative release profiles of ACIPHEX(®) Sprinkle (RAB) delayed-release capsules (ACIPHEX(®) Sprinkle) in acidic media using USP apparatus 2 (paddle apparatus) as a dissolution tester, the issues of determination of accumulative release amoun...
