The utilization of carboxylic ionophores such as monensin for immunotoxin potentiation may be hampered by the poor solubility and short in vivo half-life of these highly lipophilic compounds. Therefore, the use of monensin formulated in a lipid/water emulsion was investigated for the in vitro and in vivo potentiation of immunotoxins. Monensin in emulsion or in buffer was equally effective for t...

The antioxidant activity of pectic enzyme treated pectin (PET-pectin) prepared from citrus pectin by enzymatic hydrolysis and its potential use as a stabilizer and an antioxidant for soy protein isolate (SPI)-stabilized oil in water (O/W) emulsion were investigated. Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) was found to be positively associated with molecular weight (M(w)) of PET-pectin and...

The effects of the initial emulsion structure (droplet size and emulsifier) on the properties of β-carotene-loaded emulsions and the bioavailability of β-carotene after passing through simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) digestion were investigated. Exposure to GIT significantly changed the droplet size, surface charge and composition of all emulsions, and these changes were dependent on the...

The Emulsion is a hydraulic support's transmission medium and its concentration directly affects the working life and cost of the hydraulic support and the pillar,so strict testing for emulsion concentration is necessary. Aiming to the common methods of the emulsion concentration detection and development current situation of the fiber grating refractive index sensing technology at home and abr...

background: conventional tomography used for evaluation of the small areas of the jaws provides acceptable information. it has some advantages of availability, less radiation dose and costin comparison to computed tomography (ct) and cone beam ct. double emulsion film usuallyused for taking tomograms requires less exposure than single emulsion film; on the other hand,the latter provides more sh...

A theoretical model is developed to consider the effect of demulsifier agent on demulsification of water-in-crude oil emulsion. A thermodynamic approach is considered to correlate the critical micelle concentration of a demulsifier to the collision frequency function in population balance equation (PBE). Based on the proposed correlation, the collision frequency function is modified to account ...

Objective(s) Anti-Helicobacter pylori effects of saffron (Crocus sativus L., Iridacea) and its major constituents, crocin and safranal, were evaluated. Materials and Methods Macerated aqueous and methanol extracts tested against 45 clinical isolates of Helicobacter pylori, using paper disc diffusion method (DDM) on modified egg yolk emulsion agar (EYE agar). Four antibiotics also tested agai...

extraction of nickel and its co-extraction with copper from ammoniacal media into emulsion liquid membrane systems (elms) was investigated using lix 84i as the carrier. measurement of the solute stripped in the internal phase of emulsion opened a new dimension in the study of the elm extraction processes. the effect of operating parameters such as feed ph, initial feed concentration, and treat ...
