The objective of this study was to find innovative approaches for the production of iron fortified noodles that are natural and economically feasible. The functional food was produced using different combinations . The investigated variables were the ratio of sorghum to white bean flour, pre-gelatinized flours (drum dried or extruded) and guar gum addition while the emulsifier added was kept co...

Colon targeted delivery systems of metronidazole (MTZ) based on osmotic technology were developed. The developed systems consisted of osmotic core (drug, osmotic agent and wicking agent), coated with semipermeable membrane (SPM) containing guar gum as pore former, coated core were then further coated with enteric coating to protect the system from acidic environment of stomach. The effect of va...

Abstract Background Diosgenin is an isospirostane derivative, which a steroidal sapogenin and the product of acids or enzymes hydrolysis process dioscin protodioscin. Galactomannans are heteropolysaccharides composed D-mannose D-galactose, major sources locust bean, guar, tara fenugreek. Methods Literature survey was accomplished using multiple databases including PubMed, Science Direct, ISI we...

Persistent drought is affecting the livelihood of American farmers in arid climates. Adopting drought-tolerant crops, such as guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.), one potential solution for improving economic revenue and reducing effect on farms. Guar produces gum, which a thickening stabilizing agent fluids used most recently hydraulic fracking shale oil gas recovery. This study was performed to...

This study aimed to improve the dissolution rate of aceclofenac and release drug in a controlled manner over period 24 hours. Matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression method, using hydrophilic polymers (HPMC/guar gum). wet granulation method different Tablets evaluated for vitro profile phosphate buffer with pH 6.8 (without enzymes). The thickness hardness 3.23 ± 0.035 3.28 0.008 mm 3...

chapatti is high consuming bread in the southeast countries of asia that in fresh form has a tender texture but within a few days of storage, becomes inflexible. in this research, the effects of guar and cmc gums at two levels of 0.25 and 0.5% on quality of chapatti bread were investigated. based on results, gum addition in different levels increased moisture and ash contends and improved rheol...

the present study was aimed at evaluating the possible use of inter polymer complexed (ipc) films of xanthan gum (xg) and cationic guar gum (cgg) for formulating domperidone bioadhesive films. formation of bonds between –coo¯ groups of xg and –n + (ch 3 ) 3 groups of cgg was evident in the ftir spectra of ipc films. bioadhesive strength of the films was evaluated employing texture analyser. wat...

The present investigation was aimed at developing a novel colon targeted system of lornoxicam based on the use of a combination of pH dependent system (to prevent the premature release of drug in the upper GIT) and enzymatically degradation system (to ensure the specificity of drug release in the colon). The drug loaded guar gum microspheres prepared by emulsification cross-linking method were ...
