soy flour is the least processed form of soy protein products which has become increasingly popular in food technology for its nutritional benefits, low cost and good functional properties. the aim of this study was to investigate functional properties of soy flours produced by four different industrial processes: defatted, defatted and toasted, low fat, and full fat soy flours. because of diff...

solid lipid nanoparticles (slns) have emerged as an alternative colloidal carriers for sustained release of lipophilic drugs with poor absorption and water solubility. this manuscript describes the effect of process variables on the production of solid lipid nanoparticles (slns) from beeswax and carnauba wax and ketoprofen release from these carriers. it was found that by increasing drug conten...

abstractthe purpose of this study was to investigate the controllable operating parameters influence, including ph, solid content, collector, co-collector, and depressant dose, and conditioning time, on apatite flotation kinetics. four first order flotation kinetic models are tested on batch flotation time-recovery profiles. the results of batch flotation tests and the fitting of first-order ki...

quebracho tannin wood adhesive in non formaldehyde approach has low autocondensation rate and needs more press time than formaldehyde-based wood adhesives to produce wood composites. in this study, boric acid was used to increase autocondensation rate of quebracho tannin adhesive to make poplar plywood. the main ingredients of the adhesives include quebracho tannin, naoh, hexamine, boric acid a...

Conventional matrix characterization by visible spectrophotometry technique required sample destruction and limited to drug content assay. This study investigated the capacity of visible spectrophotometry technique to characterize both drug content and molecular characteristics of solid nifedipine-hydroxypropylmethylcellulose films stored at 25 and 50 % relative humidities in their intact form....

wheat germ is a by-product of milling industry rich in fiber, tocopherol, unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenol, minerals and protein. in this study, effect of adding raw and stabilized wheat germ on the characteristics of cake batter such as specific gravity, viscosity and cake properties such as volume, apparent density, solid density, porosity, water activity, moisture and firmness was studied...

In this study near-infrared (NIR) transmission and diffuse reflection spectra of tablets with two different pharmaceutical active substances in variable concentrations were recorded. The purpose of these tests was to correlate the spectra with the content of active ingredient, hardness and moisture content in order to implement a fast, non-destructive quality control of solid drug formulations ...
