Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) were formulated by a high-pressure homogenization method. The best formulation of SLN dispersion consisted of 13% lipid (cetyl palmitate or stearic acid), 8% surfactant (Tween 80 or Tego Care 450), and water. Stability tests, particle size analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and release study wer...

To relieve the dryness of atopic dermatitis skin, a lipid formulation of fusidic acid and betamethasone 17-valerate (Fucicort Lipid cream) was developed as an additional treatment option to the established Fucicort cream. The two formulations were compared in patients with clinically infected atopic dermatitis. A total of 629 patients were randomized to twice daily double-blind treatment for 2 ...

Methods: A cream containing 3 % concentrated extract of Acacia nilotica bark was developed by entrapping the extract in the internal aqueous phase of the cream having strong antioxidant activity. A similar cream but without the extract w...

Between November 2002 and April 2003, 244 bottles and cartons of commercially pasteurized cow's milk were obtained at random from retail outlets throughout the Czech Republic. During the same period, samples of raw milk and of milk that was subsequently subjected to a minimum of 71.7 degrees C for 15 s in a local pasteurization unit were also obtained from two dairy herds, designated herds A an...

Pasteurization is a thermal treatment applied to the milk used in human milk banks so as to provoke the thermic inactivation of pathogenic micro-organisms, with the aim of avoiding contamination of milk that will be offered to new-born infants in clinical conditions very often demanding special care. The literature has very little data available relating to the effect of pasteurization on the c...

During the past three years we have had a considerable number of cases of scurvy develop in infants being fed on pasteurized milk. In 1912, when the first cases were noted, we were pasteurizing the milk in our own diet kitchen, heating it to a temperature of 165 F. for twenty minutes. At this time several cases of scurvy developed, owing to the fact that through an oversight orange-juice was no...

INTRODUCTION Solar ultraviolet exposure is the main cause of skin damage by initiation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to skin collagen imperfection and eventually skin roughness. This can be reduced by proper revitalization of skin enhancing younger and healthier appearance. AIM To evaluate the skin facial revitalization effect of a cream formulation containing the Moringa oleifera ...

in whipping cream industry the recent trend is to reduce cream fat content without any changes in physical and whipping properties. stabilizers are widely used to improve physical and whipping properties of whipping cream. in this research, the effect of lecithin (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%), carrageen an (0.01, 0.02 and 0.03%) and wp900 (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) was investigated on firmness, overrun, drainag...

Cream dogs of several breeds require a genotype of e/e at MC1R based on 27 individuals in this study. All Akita, Caucasian Mountain Dogs, German Shepherd Dogs, Miniature Schnauzer, and Puli with this genotype are cream, suggesting they are fixed at a second locus which causes the phaeomelanin pigmentation caused by this genotype to be diluted or pale. Conversely, although all Chinese Shar-Pei a...
