To evaluate jojoba oil (JO) in high-added-value products, a new biorefinery strategy was used, consisting of enzymatic transesterification employing branched 2-ethylhexanol (EH) chain alcohol. The suggested approach utilizes an integrated process to produce jojobyl alcohols (JAs) mixture (11-eicosenol, 13-docosenol, and 15-tetracosenol) as the principal product for pharmaceutical applications. ...

Encapsulated anticorrosion agents provide a suitable alternative to dispersion of metal-based compounds in protective polymeric coatings on metal substrates. Stimuli-responsive microcapsules enhance protection abilities by autonomously responding corrosion-induced environmental changes, rather than relying damage-induced mechanical stimuli. This work reports pH-responsive with triggered release...

Nodal segments (1.5 3.0 cm long) of six promising jojoba genotypes were cultured in vitro on solidified MS medium supplemented with BA in combination with different concentrations of NAA, IAA or IBA for shoot formation. The plant growth regulators combination of 5.55 μM BA + 7.1 μM IAA proved the best for shoot initiation and subsequent growth. Some explants of the jojoba genotypes, PKJ-3 and P...

Topical drug delivery system improved bioavailability, reduced side effects, more uniform plasma levels, longer duration of action, resulting in a reduction dosing frequency and improve therapy due to levels up the end interval compared decline with conventional oral dosage form. Emulgel are generally used where other systems administration fails directly treat cutaneous disorders such as funga...

Fodd Scientists and technologists have long been searching for fat su bstitutes, i.e. compounds with physical and organoleptic properties similar to conventional dietary fats and oils but with as few calories as possible. After many years of persistant efforts, they have recently achieved considerable sussess in this field. Since a diet high in fat and cholesterol is regarded as an important fa...
