Screening of bovine rumen contents for heat-resistant and micro-aerophilic cellulose-degrading microorganisms was performed on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) plates at 37 °C-45 °C, and many isolates were found to produce reducing sugars under a static condition. Of those isolates, R8 and R15, which efficiently produced reducing sugars from CMC at a high temperature, were further examined. Taxono...

Use of an 125I radioimmunoassay involving antiserum coupled to magnetizable cellulose, after prednisolone-21-phosphate interference is removed by dichloromethane extraction at pH 7.4 and endogenous glucocorticoid interference is removed by selective chemical derivatization with Girard's Reagent T [(carboxymethyl)trimethylammonium chloride hydrazide], allows determination of prednisolone in 10 m...

In the present paper five wild Pleurotus species namely P. floridanus Singer, P. pulmonarius (Fr.) Quél., P. sapidus Quél., P. cystidiosus O.K.Mill. and P. sajor-caju (Fr.) Sing., collected from different localities of North West India have been studied for the qualitative estimation of cellulose and lignin degradation enzymes through colorimetric assays. On the basis of the results obtained, t...

Panovská Z., Váchová A., Pokorný J. (2012): Effect of thickening agents on perceived viscosity and acidity of model beverages. Czech J. Food Sci., 30: 442–445. The effect of thickening agents – methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and xanthan gum – solutions on the sensory viscosity was investigated in the concentration range of 0–0.8%. The perceived viscosi...

OBJECTIVE Betahistine dihydrochloride (BH.2HCl), an anti-vertigo histamine analog used in the treatment of Ménière's disease, undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism and suffers from short biological half-life. The aim of the present work was to develop and estimate controlled release mucoadhesive buccal tablets of BH.2HCl with a unidirectional drug flow to overcome this encumbrance. METHOD...

Conductive flexible hydrogel composites were printed on paper substrates using a functional ink, whichwas designed and formulated for screen-printing. The inkswere prepared using abundant and eco-friendlymaterials by blending carbon fibers into thematrix of a water-soluble cellulose derivative, carboxymethyl cellulose. For an optimal concentration of carbon fibers (10wt.%), the printed patterns...
