This study examines how black garlic and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) concentrations effect cracker physical, chemical, organoleptic characteristics, also determined the STPP optimal concentration to produce with desirable quality. A completely randomized design was used, two factors: (3%, 6%; 9%) (0.1%; 0.3%; 0.5%). The test parameters were color (lightness), swelling power, hygroscopicity, ...

Chlorella virus RNA triphosphatase (cvRtp1) is the smallest member of a family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that includes the RNA triphosphatases of fungi, protozoa, poxviruses, and baculoviruses. The primary structure of cvRtp1 is more similar to that of the yeast RNA triphosphatase Cet1 than it is to the RNA triphosphatases of other DNA viruses. To evaluate the higher order structural...

A novel monolithic drug delivery system for highly water-soluble bioactive agents to follow pH-independent zero-order kinetics is described. The system utilizes a hydrophilic gel-based swellable polymeric material (polyethylene oxide), a model drug (metoprolol tartrate, 100% water soluble at 25 degrees C) and different electrolytes, such as sodium carbonate and/or pentasodium tripolyphosphate. ...

Objective: This research was conducted to determine inhibition activity of curcumin nanoparticles against α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes.
 Methods: Curcumin nanoparticle made by ionic gelation method using chitosan as cation, sodium tripolyphosphate polyanion, tween 80 surfactant. were tested for inhibitory enzymes UV-Vis spectrophotometry at λ= 595 nm 305 nm, respectively.
