Antimicrobial activity and the properties of edible film were studied by incorporating with encapsulated clove (Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb.) oil as a natural antibacterial agent. The minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of clove oil inhibited the growth of E. coli O175:H7, S. aureus and L. monocytogenes were tested in the stationary phase. The results showed that 1.0, 1.5 and 0.5% of clove...

A solid biopolymer electrolytes (BEs) based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) doped with different concentrations of ceric ammonium nitrate (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 (CAN) were prepared by solution cast method. Different techniques has been employed to investigate the effects of structural, thermal and ionic conductivity behavior of these polymer electrolyte films upon gamma irradiation with differe...

treatment, biologically. Levobunolol HCl occuserts were prepared using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC, 3% & 4%), poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP, 1%), methyl cellulose (MC, 1% & 2%) as polymers by solvent casting technique with objectives of increasing contact time, achieving controlled release, reduction in frequency of administration and greater therapeutic efficacy. Based on their physioche...

The aim of the present study was the development of thermo-sensitive in-situ gels for in-vitro evaluation of ophthalmic delivery systems of ketorolac tromethamine (KT), based on methylcellulose (MC) in combination with hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC). The gel temperature of 1% MC solution was observed at 60°C. It was found that 6% oral rehydration salt without dextrose (ORS) was capable to...

The use of uncoated fused silica capillary columns and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) in capillary electrophoresis (CE) to separate DNA ladders and plasmids is described. In these studies HPMC is used as a sieving matrix to separate DNA. Many previous studies have focused on using coated and gel-filled capillaries to *Correspondence: F. A. Gomez, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, ...

An attempt was made to formulate Buccal patches of Isoxsuprine hydrochloride, a potent and long acting vasodilator and uterine suppressant , by using Hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose(HPMC), Polyvinyl pyrolidone K-30 (PVP K-30) and Hydroxyl ethyl cellulose (HEC). Twelve batches of buccal patches were prepared by solvent casting technique in which the best formulation was found out. The polymers ...

This research aimed to investigate effects of dough improvers (trehalose; TR, sucrose ester; SE and hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose; HPMC) on microstructural, textural, rheological and baking properties of frozen dough with virgin coconut oil using central composite design (CCD). Frozen dough containing dough improvers had higher values of all properties compared to frozen dough without dough imp...
