Pear fruits are known for their antioxidant and nutritional characteristics. However, they very susceptible to rapid decay. Edible coating (EC) represents a good strategy maintain postharvest quality. The effects of two EC in slowing down the senescence processes fresh-cut ‘Coscia’ pears were investigated: EC1 (A. vera gel, hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose pomegranate seeds oil (PSO), EC2 gel hydr...

The leavening of gluten-free rice flour bread is enhanced when soymilk used instead water. However, as the amount batter increased to bake in shape a square, crumb becomes less dense. This study aimed investigate effects hydrocolloids (xanthan, guar, curdlan, methylcellulose, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) on hollowing. When 0.5 % methylcellulose or was added made with soymilk, could be bak...

Blends of aqueous dispersion of a hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymer, namely Surelease®: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Surelease®: HPMC E15) were used as coating materials to control the drug release from coated pellets of the highly water soluble drug metoprolol succinate. Varying the polymer blends, ranges of drug release patterns were obtained at pH 6.8. The present study dealt with diffus...

Thermoreversible gel of meloxicam, efficient for the treatment of joint diseases, was aimed to prepare for night application available for chronotherapy in this study. Poloxamer 407 and 188 polymers were used at 20-30% w/w as a vehicle in combination with different additives (polyvinylmethylether maleic anhydride copolymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, polyethylene glycol 400, dimethyl sulfox...

conclusions this study demonstrated that physicochemical properties, in vitro release and rat intestine permeability were dependent upon the contents of s/c, water and oil percentage in formulations. background self-emulsifying drug delivery system is an isotropic mixture of natural or synthetic oils, non-ionic surfactants or, one or more hydrophilic solvent and co-solvents/surfactant and polym...

Abstract: Aim: To develop hydrogel films for hydrophilic drug delivery with citric acid-cross-linked Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and (MC). Materials Methods: The existing study is concerned the development of HPMC/MC employing acid as a cross-linking agent in order to accomplish loading while simultaneously releasing drugs (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride). Thermal analysis ATR-FTIR spectr...
