Micronized powders are of interest in many industrial fields; pharmaceuticals, catalysts, pigments, and biopolymers, for example, are some categories of products that can be used as micro-sized particles. Traditional techniques used to produce micronic powders are based on high-temperature reactions that require high energies, on jet milling that is characterized by low efficiencies and mechani...

The particle size of wheat bran plays an important role in the quality reconstituted whole-wheat flour and its products. effects on cooked noodles were analyzed; mean (D50) ranged from 26.05 to 46.08 μm. Results show that decreases D50 induced changes noodles. Specifically, damaged starch content, water absorption, solvent retention capacity sodium carbonate sucrose increased at various degrees...

Background and objectives Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.), such as other cereals, contains several interesting bioactive compounds mostly found within the coating structure of kernel; also, these structures included in bran fractions, contain highest concentration both minerals organic contaminants (mycotoxins). The purpose this project was to employ micronization air-classification technolo...

Gentamicin (GEN) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic with a potent antibacterial activity against a wide variety of bacteria. However, its poor cellular penetration limits its use in the treatment of infections caused by intracellular pathogens. One potential strategy to overcome this problem is the use of particulate carriers that can target the intracellular sites of infection. In this study GEN ...

Clinical observations indicate that impairment of venous and lymphatic microcirculation is a major complication of orthopedic surgery. Usually it is older patients with certain risk factors that are affected. The symptoms are generally present after knee or hip arthroplasty, but they may occur even after less invasive procedures performed on patients with musculo-skeletal trauma, or as complica...

In this study, paclitaxel loaded poly( L-lactic acid) (PTX-PLLA) microparticles were prepared using solution enhanced dispersion by supercritical CO2(SEDS) technique. This supercritical antisolvent technique offers the advantage of negligible organic solvent residua in the drug loaded microparticles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that microparticles exhibited rather spherical shape ...

Abstract Exploring the use of seedless blackcurrant pomace, a fibre-rich by-product juice pressing, in foods is favourable due to its nutritional profile but also for economic and sustainability aspects. Current applications are limited products which rapid fibre swelling, high water solubility or low sedimentation not essential. In this study, functional properties pomace were modified by ther...
