Functionality of Marve seed gum (Salvia Macrosiphon Boiss) on rheological properties and staling of Baguette bread have been studied. Three different concentrations of 0.1 %, 0.5% and 1% (w/w, flour basis) were applied and this hydrocolloid affected the quality of the stored bread to some extent. The effects of Marve seed gum on the rheological properties of dough was also investigated instrume...

This study investigated the in vitro acid-induced gelation of mixed systems of two biopolymers; low acyl and high acyl gellan gum. Rheological and texture analysis showed that these mixed gels displayed textures that lay between the material properties exhibited for the low and high acyl variants. DSC analysis showed that mixtures of the low acyl and high acyl forms exhibit two separate conform...

A randomised controlled study was carried out to compare the effect of a new amorphous hydrocolloid (hydrogel, Coloplast) with that of conventional treatment on the healing time of pressure sores. After initial debridement in the outpatient clinic of pressure sores located in the sacral (n = 21) or trochanteric (n = 11) area the patients were randomised to be treated with either hydrogel (n = 1...

Purpose: To develop an oral capsule-based chronomodulated drug delivery system of salbutamol sulphate for the treatment of nocturnal asthma. Methods: The basic design of the proposed dosage form entails an insoluble cross-linked capsule body filled with drug-loaded pellets sealed with hydrocolloid plug and a soluble capsule cap. Various hydrocolloid polymers, namely, hydroxypropyl methylcellulo...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the linear dimensional stability of different irreversible hydrocolloid materials over time. A metal mold was designed with custom trays made of thermoplastic sheets (Sabilex, sheets 0.125 mm thick). Perforations were made in order to improve retention of the material. Five impressions were taken with each of the following: Kromopan 100 (LASCOD) [AlKr], whi...

in this paper, the effect of two domestic seeds hydrocolloids (basil seed and sage seed gums) and one commercial hydrocolloid (pectin) on characteristics of non-fat concentrated yoghurt was studied. for this purpose, effect of different concentrations of these gums (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) on physicochemical and sensory properties after 1 and 7 days were investigated and compared with control...

OBJECTIVE To compare the ability of activated charcoal dressings with that of a hydrocolloid dressing to reduce the wound area of chronic wounds. METHOD Two separate randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were undertaken; both used the same hydrocolloid as the control. One RCT compared Actisorb (without silver) with the control on chronic pressure ulcers and the other RCT compared Actisorb Silve...

The present study investigated the effect on the surface quality of resultant stone models of rinsing hydrocolloid impressions using acidic electrolyzed water. Two brands of alginate impression materials (Aroma Fine DFIII, Jeltrate Plus), an agar impression material (Ajisai) designed for agar/alginate combined impression, and dental stone (New Plastone) were used to make the test specimens. For...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combined use of Japanese honey and hydrocolloid dressing (HCD) on cutaneous wound healing. Mice were divided into four groups: the Acacia (Japan) + HCD, Manuka (New Zealand) + HCD, Chinese milk vetch (Japan) + HCD, and HCD (control) groups. The mice received two full-thickness wounds. The wounds of the HCD group were covered with HCD, wher...
