Gallic acid (GA), rutin(R), quercitin (Q), ellagic acid (EA) and sitosterol(S) isolated from the methanolic extract of the leaves of Tectona grandis were formulated as 0.2 % ointment in emulsifying base and were evaluated for their wound healing activity. The animals were divided into eight groups of six animals each. Groups 1 used as control, group 2 used as a standard i.e. nitrofurazone ointm...

Gluten hydrolysate was prepared through limited enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat gluten resulting from the byproducts of wheat starch. The enzyme applied in the present study was Protamex. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of pH, gluten hydrolysate (GHP)/ -carrageenan ( C) ratio and reaction time on emulsifying properties of the GHPC conjugate. The regression model f...

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was employed as a model protein emulsifier to conjugate with aldohexose (D-glucose (Glc) or D-allose (All)) and sugar fatty acid ester (6-O-octanoyl-D-glucose (GlcC8)) through the Maillard reaction. It was found during the reaction that rate of decrease of free amino groups in BSA was almost the same for the BSA-sugar mixtures whereas browning and protein aggregation ...

Flexible Janus nanosheets of molecular scale thickness (3.5 nm) are massively fabricated by a sol-gel process of a self-assembled monolayer of an amphiphilic silane onto a template. Groups of both sides are tuneable, and thus performance of the nanosheets, for example, is pH responsive. As a flexible solid emulsifier, the desired species can be wrapped with an individual nanosheet, which is pH ...

Hydrophobically modified xylo-oligosaccharides were prepared by enzymatic esterification of xylo-oligosaccharide and three fatty acids: decanoic acid (C-10), lauric acid (C-12) and palmitic acid (C-16). Lipase obtained from Thermomyces lanuginosus was used as a biocatalyst in the reaction. The degree of substitution (DS) of esterified xylo-oligosaccharide, prepared at a reaction temperature of ...

Defatted meals and protein concentrates from six accessions of Sinapis alba and one accession of Brassica juncea mustard seeds were analysed for their polypeptide profile and functional properties. Two types of protein concentrates were prepared using acid-induced and calcium-induced protein precipitations. Meals from the S alba seeds had similar polypeptide composition, which was different fro...

After Egg White Proteins (EWPs) were pre-treated by Conventional Heating (CH) Method and Microwave Irradiation (MWI), respectively, functional properties of protein hydrolysates from egg white hydrolyzed by pepsin was systemically investigated. The results indicated the maximum Degrees of Hydrolysis (DHs) of EWPs pre-treated by MWI could reach 19.81%, which was much more than that of EWPs pre-t...

A study on Boletus edulis mushrooms subjected to either hot air drying (HAD) or centrifugal vacuum (CVD) was performed evaluate and compare their functional properties, fatty acids, aroma compounds. Better flowability a higher rehydration ratio were observed for HAD powders, while enhanced indices of water solubility, emulsifying activity, stability noticed CVD ones. The composition 21 identifi...
