The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is an important pest of citrus because it transmits plant pathogens responsible for a serious disease of citrus known as huanglongbing. Conventional insecticides are frequently used to manage ACP. Insecticidal soaps (hereafter ‘soaps’) are an insect control option labelled for commercial use as well as for use by ...

BACKGROUND Formula-fed (FF) infants often have harder stools and higher stool concentrations of fatty acid soaps compared to breastfed infants. Feeding high sn-2 palmitate or the prebiotic oligofructose (OF) may soften stools, reduce stool soaps, and decrease fecal calcium loss. METHODS We investigated the effect of high sn-2 palmitate alone and in combination with OF on stool palmitate soap,...

MR. J. PICKTHALL.' When talking of H.L.B. values, the speaker has referred to the oil solubility of calcium soaps. Are these soaps in fact oil soluble in the sense that we are considering ? In discussing the emulsifying action of the calcium soaps, the speaker has compared them with glyceryl distearate and aluminium stearate. Glyceryl distearate is indeed oil soluble but commercial aluminium st...

The Katsina central market in Nigeria's State is where sixteen soaps were purchased. following physicochemical parameters used to evaluate the soaps: pH, Total fatty matter (TFM), M&V, Alcohol insoluble (AI), Free alkali (FA), and (AI). Typically, soap samples fail tests: TFM 25%, AI 75%, FA 50%, pH M&V 100% for laundry soaps; 100%, toilet 0%, 75% medicated soaps. According chemical ana...

Although previous research showed that the thin ideal provided by the media affects body image and eating behaviour in young children, less is known about specific media contents that are related to body image and eating behaviour. This study tested the associations between watching soaps and music television and body dissatisfaction and restrained eating directly, and indirectly through thin i...

The pH of the skin is slightly acidic (4.6 to 5.8) which is important for appropriate antibacterial, antifungal, constitution of barrier function, as well as structuring and maturation of the stratum corneum. This study aimed to evaluate the pH of the main commercial moisturizers and liquid soaps in Brazil. Thus, pH of the products was quantified by pH meter in three measurements. A total of 38...

In clinical dermatology, few questions are asked more commonly than “What is the best way for me to clean my skin or hair?” The modern dermatologist needs to be familiar with the physiologic action of cleansing products available on the market. This familiarity should include chemical composition, application, cosmetic benefits, and safety, as well as potential hazards. This knowledge must be a...
