The interactions between proteins and polysaccharides are of considerable importance in the food industry. In this study, effect adding non-charged methylcellulose (MC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), medium (GM) high (GH) molecular weight guar gum negatively charged sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was investigated on rheological thermal properties acid-swollen collagen pastes, as a f...

Laboratory and field experiments were carried out with apples (Malus x domestica Bork) cv. ‘Golden Reinders’, to assess the efficacy of sodium salt of carboxymethyl ether of cellulose (0.5%, CMC) as an adjuvant for Ca spray formulations containing either Cachloride or Ca-propionate as active ingredient (120 or 250 mM Ca). This additive significantly increased the retention of Ca-containing solu...

Lesions with great loss of skin and extensive burns are usually treated with heterologous skin grafts, which may lead rejection. Cell therapy with mesenchymal stem cells is arising as a new proposal to accelerate the healing process. We tested a new therapy consisting of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a biomaterial, in combination with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), to treat skin l...

INTRODUCTION Intra-abdominal adhesions (IA) may occur after abdominal surgery and also may lead to complications such as infertility, intestinal obstruction and chronic pain. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Mitomycin-C (MM-C) and sodium hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose [NH/CMC] on abdominal adhesions in a cecal abrasion model and to investigate the toxicity of MM-C on comp...

The aim of this work was to develop swellable modified release (MR) isoniazid tablets using different combinations of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and sodium-carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC). Granules were prepared by moist granulation technique and then compressed into tablets. In vitro release studies for 12 hr were carried out in dissolution media of varying pH i.e. pH 1.2, 4.5, 7.0 and 7.5. Tabl...

In an aqueous medium, both pure and mixed surfactants form micelles after reaching a concentration called the critical micellar concentration (CMC), whose determination has considerable practical importance normally to understand the self-organizing behaviors of surfactants in exact and detailed ways. Many studies have been devoted to the elucidation of micellar structures under different condi...

1. Five pigs initially of 40-50 kg live weight were fitted with simple gastric cannulas which permitted complete evacuation and sampling of gastric digesta once daily. 2. The effects of addition of four types of dietary fibre (wheat bran (WB; 40 g/kg), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC; 40 g/kg), high-methoxy citrus pectin (Pe; 40 g/kg) and granulated guar gum (G; 40 g/kg] on gastric emptying ...

Abstract This work addresses a simple method to functionalize graphene oxide with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose using tetraethyl orthosilicate as linker for rapid and significant removal of Nd(III) Ce(III) from aqueous solutions. The prepared composite (GO–CMC) was characterized by different techniques confirm the modification adsorption process. sorption performance GO–CMC evaluated absorbent...

Intradiffusion coefficients of sodium alkylsulfonates [CH3-(CH2)n-1SO-3 Na+, CnSNa] (n = 5-9, 11) in mixtures with heavy water were measured by the PGSE-NMR technique at 25 degrees C. A slope change in the experimental trends permits the determination of the critical micelle concentration (CMC). In the micellar composition range, solubilized TMS molecules were used to determine the micelle intr...

Objective(s): The main aim of current research was to develop a novel magnetically responsive hydrogel by radical polymerization of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on acryl amide (Am) using N,N'-methylene bis acrylamide  (MBA)  as a crosslinking agent, potassium persulfate (KPS) as a free radical initiator, and  magnetic montmorillonite ( mMT)  nanoclay as nano-...
