A stable water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) double emulsion containing in its inner aqueous phase a microbial consortium (60mgprotein L 1 double emulsion) known to degrade methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was prepared. The primary emulsion (W1/O) had a volume disperse phase (f1) of 0.3 and was stabilized with 8% Span 80. The double emulsion had a volume disperse phase (f2) of 0.3 and was stabilized ...

Targeted molecular imaging has attracted great attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, most clinically used ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) are non-targeted microbubbles seldom used for cancer imaging. Here, we fabricated fluorescent nanobubbles (NBs) by encapsulation of liquid tetradecafluorohexane (C6F14) within biodegradable photoluminescent polymers (BPLPs) through an emulsi...

Autoradiographic techniques for use with the electron microscope have been developed and considerably improved in recent years. A review of this historical development is given by Meek and Moses (14), and a theoretical analysis of the problems involved by Pelc (17) and Caro (4). In this paper, we describe a method for preparing autoradiographic specimens, using a new, fine-grained emulsion and ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of kimchi powder and onion peel extract on the quality characteristics of emulsion sausage manufactured with irradiated pork. The emulsion sausages were formulated with 2% kimchi powder and/or 0.05% onion peel extract. The changes in pH value of all treatments were similar, depending on storage periods. The addition of kimchi powder increased ...

Gum odina and various parts of the plant Odina wodier are traditionally used in Indian folk medicine. Here an effort was made to investigate the efficacy of gum odina as new pharmaceutical excipients, in particular, as an emulsifying agent. Primary emulsion was prepared using wet gum method taking oil: water: gum (4:2:1) with gum acacia powder as an emulsifying agent. This was used as a standar...

The aim of this work was to produce and characterize cetyl palmitate-based solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) containing insulin, and to evaluate the potential of these colloidal carriers for oral administration. SLN were prepared by a modified solvent emulsification-evaporation method based on a w/o/w double emulsion. The particle size, zeta potential and association efficiency of unloaded and in...

OBJECTIVES To compare the tolerance, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of amphotericin deoxycholate (Fungizone) prepared in a parenteral fat emulsion (Intralipid 20%) or glucose in HIV patients with candidiasis. DESIGN Non-blind randomised controlled trial. SETTING University hospital; tertiary clinical care. PATIENTS 22 HIV positive patients with oral candidiasis. INTERVENTIONS Amphoteric...

Transport of emulsions in porous media is relevant to several subsurface applications. Many enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes lead to emulsion formation and as a result conformance originating in the flow of a dispersed phase may arise. In some EOR processes, emulsion is injected directly as a mobility control agent. Modeling the flow of emulsion in porous media is extremely challenging due...
