Bilayer tablets of aceclofenac sodium were developed using carboxymethylated white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) starch (CWY) for a fast release layer (2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% w/w), and acid-hydrolyzed bitter yam (Dioscorea dumetorum) starch (ABY) for a sustaining layer (27% w/w). Sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were used as standards. The starches were characteri...

Although the concentration of sodium in leaves of Atriplex plants increased rapidly after receiving sodium, no growth response was detectable for about 6 days. It was found that respiration rate increased to its maximum within 3 days. Chlorophyll content also increased from an early stage, whereas the concentrations of sugars and starch did not increase, and ratios of soluble to total nitrogen ...

Abstract Sago starch has multiple applications in industries such as textile, cosmetics and pharmaceutical, paper wood. This study focuses on the utilization of sago to promote formaldehyde-free adhesives. Formaldehyde-based adhesive commonly used wood industry emits formaldehyde, which is classified carcinogen, into air that raised concerns over potential hazards human health. starch-based was...

On the basis of radioisotope-incorporation experiments it is suggested that acetyl-CoA, an obligatory intermediate in chloroplast terpenoid biosynthesis, may be formed inmaize from photosynthetically fixed carbon dioxide by the route carbon dioxide --> glycollate -÷ glyoxylate -* glycine --serine --> pyruvate -acetyl-CoA. The proposed route is supported by conventional radioisotope-dilution stu...

To select a suitable synthetic medium for kanamycin production, we tested a number of carbon and nitrogen compounds for their effect on growth of Streptomyces kanamyceticus ATCC 12853 as well on kanamycin production. Galactose was found to be the most suitable carbon source, though dextrin, soluble starch, and potato starch gave moderate yields. Sodium nitrate and glycine were adequate nitrogen...

The need for sophisticated component therapy has resulted in improved techniques for obtaining concentrates of platelets and granulocytes. The use of single donors as a source for these products is advisable to avoid multiple sensitizations. A method for obtaining large quantities of platelets has been established rather easily. Obtaining concentrated granulocytes represents a greater problem o...

The present study aims to formulate mouth dissolving tablets of montelukast sodium by direct compression method for the faster action, better absorption and improvement bioavailability drug in management Asthma. Total six formulations were developed with varying concentrations combination Crosspovidone Sodium starch glycolate as super disintegrating agents. prepared method. MDT evaluated variou...

I. Sheep were given four Merent diets which contained two types of forage and two types of concentrate. The forage portion of the diet consisted of either hay or silage, while the low-oil concentrate had high levels of starch and in the high-oil concentrate this starch was replaced by an isoenergetic amount of soya-bean oil. 2. The effects of these diets on various factors in the blood was meas...
