Characteristic of Microcrystalline Cellulose from Red Seaweed Eucheuma cottonii

The Potency of Red Seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii) Extracts as Hepatoprotector on Lead Acetate-induced Hepatotoxicity in Mice

BACKGROUND Lead is one of the most toxic metals, producing severe organ damage in animals and humans. Oxidative stress is reported to play an important role in lead acetate-induced liver injury. AIM This study was carried out to investigate the role of ethanol extract of Eucheuma cottonii in protecting against lead acetate-induced hepatotoxicity in male mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sampl...

Purification and Biochemical Characteristic of Protease from the Red Seaweed Petrocladia capillacea

Enzymes are biocatalysts that been used as alternatives to chemicals to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a wide range of industrial processes. They are currently used in applied and basic areas of research as well as in a wide range of products and manufacturing processes, such food, beverage, detergent, pharmaceutical, leather processing and peptide synthesis industries (Gupta ...

Enthalpy of Combustion of Microcrystalline Cellulose

A test substance with characteristics and properties similar to those of cellulose· based solid waste products is needed to calibrate calorimeters and combustors which will be routinely burning these materials to determine their calorific values precisely for use in commerce. Microcrystalline cellulose was found to be a good calibrant for this purpose. The enthalpy of combustion of microcrystal...

Thermal analysis of microcrystalline cellulose prepared from esparto grass

Alfa fibres are extracted from the plant Stippa tenacissima, or esparto grass (alfa is the Arab name for esparto), and grows in the dry regions of North Africa. It belongs to the graminacies family and grows to a height of about 1 m. These fibres are mostly used in the production of paper. Recently, they have been used as reinforcement in the production of biodegradable composites. The aim of t...
