The present study was concerned with the selection of suitable surfactant for the production of alpha amylase by Bacillus subtilis GCBM-25 in 250 ml shake flask containing 50 ml of fermentation medium. Different surfactants (laundry soap, detergent powder, sulphonic acid, acyle benzene sulphonic acid, liquid soap, Tween 80, sodium silicate, bath soap, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium lauryl ethe...

Quality characteristics of spent hen Pectoralis major muscles and effect of NaCl and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) on quality changes of raw and cooked spent hen muscles during chilled storage were investigated. Meat from spent hen had nutritional values the same as commercial broiler meat. Treated raw samples with 1.0% NaCl and 10% STPP showed lower drip loss during storage time (P<0.05), and...

Polym. Adv od of tripolyphosphate (TPP) cross-linking. The influence of fabrication conditions on the physical properties and drug loading and release properties was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and UV–vis spectroscopy. The nanoparticles could be prepared only within a zone of appropriate chitosan and TPP concentrations. The particle si...

Immediately upstream from and adjacent to the oprP gene, which codes for the phosphate-specific porin OprP of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, lies the PR region (oprO), which cross-hybridizes with oprP DNA. To determine the function of this region, the oprO gene was expressed behind the lactose promoter in Escherichia coli, and the resultant OprO protein was purified and reconstituted into planar lipid...

Selective isolation of Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) and lectin from soybean whey solutions by different types of chitosan beads was investigated. The chitosan beads were co-crosslinked with tripolyphosphate/genipin in solutions at pH 5, 7 or 9 (CB5, CB7, CB9). The maximum adsorption ratios of chitosan beads to KTI and lectin were observed at pH 4.4 and 5.4, respectively; highly selective sepa...

The paper presents the results of the influence of anionic-type detergent containing sodium tripolyphosphate and ethoxylated oleylcetyl alcohol on the type and quantity of present amino acids in the fermentation broths of the fungi Aspergillus niger, Alternaria tenuis and Fusarium oxysporum cultivated on a medium with the addition of 1% detergent as a function of their application in the proces...

In clinical tumor therapy, chemotherapeutic routes have caused severe side effects; current delivery methods are unsatisfactory. Successful design of a remotely folate (FA)-grafted chitosan (CS)-coated magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) with low toxicity, has been achieved. A chemotherapeutic drug such as doxorubicin (DOX), is loaded in the MNP-based matrix (FA-grafted CS-DOX-TPP-MNP), which is coated...

We report the rational design of a chitosan-based drug delivery system. The chitosan derivative N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium)propyl]chitosan chloride (HTCC) was ionically cross-linked by sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) to form sub-200-nm microgels that are responsive to pH changes. When these microgels were loaded with methotrexate disodium (MTX), a cytotoxic drug for cancer treatment, and c...

Objectives To assess the effectiveness of nanopermethrin as a potential new formulation for pest and vector control. Methods Permethrin nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method its structure formulations designed using Box–Behnken statistical technique. The effect independent variables (Chitosan/Permethrin ratio, tripolyphosphate quantity, sonication time) on properties was investig...
