A new in vivo has been developed for evaluating the antitumor activity of chemotherapeutic drugs. The assay is based on a microencapsulation technology developed by Damon Biotech, Inc., Boston, MA, which makes it possible to encapsulate human tumor cells in small (about 1 mm in diameter) microcapsules with semipermeable membranes. Microcapsules containing human tumor cells were injected i.p. in...

Probiotics are effective coadjuvancy against human affections. To confer their beneficial effects to humans, probiotics adhere and colonize the intestine. Then, they must survive gastrointestinal conditions (~108–1010 cfu/day). However, concentration dose produce effect reduced. Synbiotics combination of prebiotics, can increase probiotics. Microencapsulation is an efficient approach protect sy...

microencapsulation as one of the most modern methods has remarkable effects on probiotic survival. in this study lactobacillus casei (atcc 39392) and bifidobacterium bifidum (atcc 29521) were encapsulated using calcium alginate-gelatinized starch, chitosan coating and inulin via emulsion technique, and were incubated in simulated gastric juice (along with pepsin, ph=1.5) and simulated intestina...

The interfacial polymerization dynamics are tracked by successive droplet and capsule deformation using a straightforward microfl uidic approach. ab We use microfluidic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) devices to measure the kinetics of reactive encapsulations occurring at the interface of emulsion droplets. The formation of the polymeric shell is inferred from the droplet deformability measured in ...

In the modern health concept, food quality is becoming more and important. People are increasingly looking for added value to their diet through presence of bioactive substances. Usually, latter sensitive molecules; they unstable in processing consumption. addition, problems with unpleasant organoleptic characteristics clean labelling high production costs can occur. To overcome these problems,...

In the study, microencapsulation method was applied in production of white cheese from goat milk to prevent loss viability Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium longum due environmental factors during their storage period. For this purpose, obtained using three types microcapsules - symbiotic containing probiotic bacteria + fructooligosaccharide, inulin. addition, probiotics, fructooligos...

Chewing gum, being a pleasant formulation, requires effective taste-masking techniques, such as encapsulation methods along with an amalgamation of flavors and sweeteners. Taste-masked medicated chewing gum offers palatable way administering drugs dietary supplements to children old-aged people. The concept development provides sustained modified release actives through various microencapsulati...

berberine was loaded in yeast cells of saccharomyces cerevisiaeas a novel pharmaceutical carrier to improve the treatment ofmany diseases. the yeast-encapsulated active materialsshowedhigh stability and bioavailability due to the enhanced solubility and sustained releasing. in this study, different characteristics of prepared berberine loaded yeast cells (loading capacity, release kinetic order...
