Abstract In this study, lactobacillus acidophilus were encapsulated using whey protein concentrate precipitated utilizing salts (Cacl 2 , Zncl ). The highest efficiency of the encapsulation process by extrusion calcium chloride was 66%, followed zinc 24%. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination used to study shape for probiotic. condition similar human stomach conditions, viable numbers ...

Turmeric oleoresin is a widely used flavoring agent and food color with relevant nutraceutical properties. It obtained by organic solvent extraction of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). Microencapsulation good alternative to transform liquid flavorings free-flowing powders improve stability protection compounds interest. Thus, the aim this study was assess microencapsulation spray drying using blend...

Recent published and preliminary precision electroweak measurements are reviewed, including new results on the mass of the top quark and mass and width of the W boson. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Standard Model and are used to constrain its free parameters, notably the mass of the Higgs boson. The agreement between measurements and expectations from theory ...

The purpose of this study was to design poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres for the continuous delivery of the somatostatin analogue, vapreotide, over 2-4 weeks. The microspheres were produced by spray-drying and the desired characteristics, i.e. high encapsulation efficiency and controlled release over 2-4 weeks, achieved through optimizing the type of polymer, processing solvent, a...

Direct CP violation is studied in two pion decays of the neutral kaon. Using data collected in the first beam period in 1997, the result for the parameter Re (ε/ε) is (18.5 ± 4.5(stat) ± 5.8(syst))× 10−4. Talk presented at the EPS–HEP 99 Conference Tampere, Finland, July 15–21, 1999 a) On behalf of the NA48 Collaboration: Cagliari, Cambridge, CERN, Dubna, Edinburgh, Ferrara, Firenze, Mainz, Ors...

Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection affecting millions of people worldwide. Previous vaccination attempts have employed the recombinant major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of C. trachomatis nonetheless, with limited success, perhaps, due to stability, degradation, and delivery issues. In this study we cloned C. trachomatis recombinant MOMP DNA (DMOMP) and encapsu...

Many programs producing EPS graphics do not allow the inclusion of LATEX commands. While there exist several solutions to work around these difficulties, they all have various drawbacks. (See [1] for a discussion of several methods and an alternative approach to overcome these difficulties.) In this article, we will focus on a particular existing solution, the PSfrag package [2], which provides...

Recent developments in the measurement of precision electroweak measurements are summarised, notably new results on the mass of the top quark and mass and width of the W boson. Predictions of the Standard Model are compared to the experimental results which are used to constrain the input parameters of the Standard Model, in particular the mass of the Higgs boson. The agreement between measurem...

PURPOSE To study the effect of encapsulation of recombinant adenovirus type 5 encoding Beta-galactosidase (Ad5-Betagal) in poly (D,Llactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres on viral delivery to professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) in vitro, viral dissemination in vivo, and induction of protective immune responses in vivo. METHODS PLGA microspheres containing Ad5-alphagal were prep...
