abstractthe aim of the present study was to formulate poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (plga) nanoparticles loaded with 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid (gla) with appropriate physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity. gla loaded plga nanoparticles were prepared with different drug to polymer ratios, acetone contents and sonication times and the antibacterial activity of the developed nanopartic...

Black and Pinto bean starches were physically and chemically modified to investigate the effect of modification on digestibility and physicochemical properties of bean starch. The impact of acetylation, oxidation (ozonation) and annealing on the chemical composition, syneresis, swelling volume, pasting, thermal properties and digestibility of starches was evaluated. The physicochemical and esti...

Although the fundamental concepts of pharmacokinetics remain the same, ocular pharmacokinetics has its own challenges due to the uniqueness of barrier properties posed by various ocular tissues and its growing complexity with different routes of ocular administration. A thorough understanding of the barrier nature will aid in tailoring a drug or its carrier's physicochemical properties to its a...

Grain quality currently represents a major problem in high yielding rice production in Iran and many other rice producing areas of the world. Quality assessment of rice involves the function of sensory tests and physicochemical determinations based on the chemical composition, cooking quality, gelatinization temperature and physical properties of cooked rice. These research genetic materials we...
