objective(s): chitosan nanoparticles (cnps) were prepared based on the ionic gelation of chitoan with anionic compounds of ocimum basilicum leaf extract. materials and methods: after addition of ocimum basilicum leaf extract to chitosan solution, the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were determined by field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem), fourier transform infrared...

plants are rich source of natural products used for centuries to cure various the plant-derived medicines are based upon the premise that they contain natural substances that can promote health and alleviate illness. silver nps represent material, which can be used as a potential antibacterial agent in medical applications and different commercial products due to its biological activity. recent...

The present study investigated the association of a C60 water suspension (nC6) with natural organic matter, present as a soil constituent or dissolved in the water column, and its effect on the antibacterial activity of nC60. Sorption of nC60 to soil reduced its bioavailability and antibacterial activity, and the sorption capacity strongly depended on the organic content of the soil. Adsorption...

Three data sets concerning the behaviour of spoilage flora of fillets treated with natural preservative substances (NPS) were used to construct a new kind of mathematical predictive model. This model, unlike other ones, allows expressing the antibacterial effect of the NPS separately from the prediction of the growth rate. This approach, based on the introduction of a parameter into the predict...

background: the presence of antibacterial drug residues in food caused many concerns for consumers. this study was designed to determine of antibacterial drug residues in commercial eggs distributed in urmia, iran.  methods: disc diffusion microbial inhibition test was performed using three media seeded with bacillus subtilis at different ph values (6, 7.2 or 8) and a fourth medium seeded with ...
