Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) is an edible seed that comes from an annual herbaceous plant, Salvia hispanica L. of mint family (Lamiaceae) (Figure 1). The shape of Chia seed is oval with 1 to 2mm in size, which may be black, grey or black spotted to white in colour. Chia means strength and the tiny seeds have been used as energy booster. Chia seeds can be used in the form of whole seeds, mucilage,...

To provide safe dental care, it is important to minimize the pain associated with the initial injection of the local anesthetic. For this purpose, a topical anesthetic is preliminarily applied to the area where a needle will be inserted in a clinical setting. In this study, we prepared new topical anesthetic formulations with favorable intra-oral retentivity and an excellent anesthetic effect, ...

Emulsifiers and stabilizers are known to be effective agents of emulsification. When used in an oil and vinegar salad dressing, they contribute to significant changes in density, viscosity, and color when compared to the control which contains no emulsifiers or stabilizers. The stabilizer used was xanthan gum and the emulsifier used was lecithin. It was found that the control remained the dense...

Jute is one of the available and cheap cellulosic fibers that can be printed used instead other materials may relatively high in price. bio-degradable raw therefore does not cause harm to environment along with advantages because its many advantages, it called golden fiber. Textile printing practice applying color distinct patterns or designs sharp outlines. Inappropriately fibers, tied fiber, ...

The efficiency of grinding and flotation process in copper-molybdenum processing circuit, largely affected by performance thickeners hydrocyclones devices. goal this paper is to investigate the effect rate-limiting factors on these devices consequently separation molybdenum circuit. So, a full mineralogical study have been carried out outputs hydrocyclone molybdenite According results, coarse-g...

To reinforce skin protection against organophosphates (OPs), the development of new topical skin protectants (TSP) has received a great interest. Nanoparticles like cerium dioxide (CeO2) known to adsorb and neutralize OPs are interesting candidates for TSP. However, NPs are difficult to disperse into formulations and they are suspected of toxicological issues. Thus, we want to study: (1) the ef...

The rational use of water in the mineral processing industry has become an im-portant issue due to the geographical location of many plants. The increase of capacity in manycopper concentrators has lead to an increased effort for recovering the maximum amount ofwater in the solid-liquid separation process. Thickeners work continuously to produce a con-centrated underflow and a w...

In corn wet milling, dry matter can be separated from liquids in process streams with centrifuges or vacuum belt filtration (VBF). Because separations usually are not complete, dry matter can be lost in the liquid streams (overflow from the gluten thickener centrifuge and filtrate from VBF). This represents a loss of nutrients, especially protein, to low valued coproducts and reduces quality of...
