In comparison to tablets drug loaded pellets exhibit the advantageous properties of multiparticulate drug delivery systems. After administration homogeneous distribution in the gastrointestinal tract takes place, drug is released over a large area avoiding concentration peaks, and bioavailability is improved. Up to this time the number of market products with drug coated inert pellets manufactu...

The study aimed to evaluate the information label of some local pickle products and estimate sodium benzoate therein. 85 samples locally made pickles were collected from Baghdad city markets randomly five different areas in it included (Al-Shula, Al-Bayaa, Al-Nahrawan, Al-Taji, Abu Ghraib), which divided into groups P1, P2, P3, P4 P5, respectively, according those areas, was scanned compared wi...

An in vitro gas production technique was used to screen different organic acids (formic, propionic, lactic, citric, and fumaric acid), organic salts (calcium formate, potassium sorbate, and sodium benzoate), and inorganic phosphoric acid for their ability to modulate microbial fermentation in the digestive tract of piglets. For the incubation, 40 ml of culture medium (53% buffer, 45% frozen ile...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of antimicrobials on the survival and proliferation of Listeria monocytogenes in turkey breast rolls following electron-beam irradiation. Six antimicrobial additive treatments that include no preservatives (control), 0.1% potassium benzoate (PB), 2% sodium lactate (SL), 0.1% potassium benzoate plus 2% sodium lactate (PB + SL), 2% sodium la...

A novel technique based on Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study the transport of benzoic acid ion-pairs/salts in silicone membranes. The benzoic acid ion-pairs were prepared using various counter-ions with different degrees of lipophilicity, e.g. triethylamine (TA), diethylamine (DE), tert-butylamine (t-BA), 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol ...

2-Ketocyclohexanecarboxyl coenzyme A (2-ketochc-CoA) hydrolase has been proposed to catalyze an unusual hydrolytic ring cleavage reaction as the last unique step in the pathway of anaerobic benzoate degradation by bacteria. This enzyme was purified from the phototrophic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris by sequential Q-Sepharose, phenyl-Sepharose, gel filtration, and hydroxyapatite chromatog...

Abstract This study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation benzoic acid and sodium benzoate on growth performance nursery pigs. A total 432 pigs (6.9 ± 0.9 kg BW) were assigned 8 treatments (6 pigs/pen, n = 9) in a randomized complete block design with initial BW as fed for 41 d 3 phases (7/17/17 d, respectively). Treatments 1) basal diet (BD), 2) BD + antibiotic, 3) 0.30% be...
