Objective: to prepare and evaluate orally disintegrating films of liquorice inclusion complexes. Methods: the active components Chinese were extracted by pressurised extraction technique, complexes prepared antisolvent method, while buccal disintegration solvent casting evaluated. Results: home-made disintegrated formed better films, had good hardness toughness, thickness was around 0.1 mm coul...

Background: The use of algae as biofertilizers is fast-spreading in order to meet the excessive demands for agricultural products. To achieve this, enough algal biomass needs be supplied year-round. Hence, nutritional components must optimized through mixotrophic conditions. Materials and methods: Two isolates, namely, Phormidium sp. Synechocystis were tested their ability produce growth using ...

We determined taste recognition thresholds for six compounds (sucrose, fructose, sodium chloride, quinine sulphate, PROP, and liquorice) in fasting students and, in the same subjects, after a meal. The testing procedure was the staircase-method in blind conditions. Although possible variation of taste sensitivity could be linked to internal state (i.e. hormonal status), our results did not show...
