introduction: colloidal materials and suspended solids cause turbidity in water. to remove turbidity, clarification method is used that includes processes of coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. due to the long duration of coagulation process, coagulant aids are applied. despite the favorable efficiency of synthetic polyelectrolytes as a coagulant aid, due to their harmful effects on h...

In this study the rheological and textural properties of Iranian white cheese produced by ultrafiltration technique containing gum tragacanth and xanthan gum each in the range of 0-0.1%, and basil seed and linseed mucilages each in the range of 0-0.2% were evaluated. According to the results obtained, values of Elastic (G/) and viscous (G//) moduli increased with increasing frequency sweep in a...

1. The turnover of plasma esterified cholesterol was measured in normal and hyperlipidaemic subjects during diets rich in either carbohydrate, polyunsaturated fat or saturated fat. Turnover was measured from the rate of incorporation of radioactive mevalonic acid into plasma esterified cholesterol. 2. The turnover of esterified cholesterol was greater with polyunsaturated than with saturated fa...

Esterified astaxanthins are used as functional nutraceuticals and pigments in many food products. Unfortunately, the utilization is currently limited due to their chemical instability and poor water-solubility. In this study, esterified astaxanthins were quantified and purified from Haematococcus pluvialis using a novel and precise approach. By HPLC-(+)APCI-MS/MS, twenty esterified astaxanthin ...

background: the dispersed phase volume fraction plays key role in oil-in-water emulsion stability by different mechanisms like partial flocculation, depletion flocculation and bridging flocculation. since the mentioned mechanism is affected by emulsifier concentration presented in system, the major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dispersed phase volume fraction on physical st...

Some excipients are currently available for the formulation of Pharmaceutical suspensions. The purpose of this study is to search for a cheap and effective natural excipient that can be used as an effective alternative for the formulation of pharmaceutical suspensions. The mucilage from the pods of Abelmoschus esculentus was subjected to preformulation study for evaluation of its safety and sui...

XGH (xylogalacturonan hydrolase; GH 28) is an enzyme that is capable of degrading XGA (xylogalacturonan), which is a polymer of alpha-D-galacturonic acid, highly substituted with beta-D-xylose. XGA is present in cell walls of various plants and exudates, such as gum tragacanth. XGA oligosaccharides were derived from an XGH digestion of gum tragacanth, then fractionated, and analysed for their s...

This study developed a green and scalable route to obtain esterified lignin derivatives with controllable structure-property.

The rate of production of plasma esterified cholesterol was measured both in vivo and in vitro in seven subjects and in vivo alone in eight subjects. All subjects were lean, clinically healthy, and had triglyceride concentrations less than 1.5 micro moles/ml. In vivo production was calculated from the labeling of free and esterified cholesterol in plasma samples collected at 1-hr intervals for ...

in this paper, grafting of acrylic acid monomer on gum tragacanth was performed. variable of experiment included concentration of initiators and monomer, time, and temperature. grafting efficiency was measured in the term of percentage of grafting (%g) and percentage of grafting efficiency (%e). effectiveness of grafted gum in ferrous ion removal at different condition was assessed. according t...
