Nano-cellulose materials are widely believed to have the potential to push polymer mechanical properties. The cotton cellulose was dissolved in ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl)), and then was isolated by high pressure homogenization in a homogeneous media. The nano-cellulose was obtained at 80 MPa for 30 cycles. The geometry and microstructure of the cellulose nano-...

Traditionally, the shelf-life stability of juices has been achieved by thermal processing. Low temperature long time (LTLT) and high temperature short time (HTST) treatments are the most commonly used techniques for juice pasteurization. However, thermal pasteurization tends to reduce the product quality and freshness. Therefore, some non-thermal pasteurization methods have been proposed during...

Ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH) is one of the most promising alternatives to traditional thermal treatment of food preservations and diversification. However, little research exists on the sensory characteristics of milk cheeses made from UHPH-treated milk. The aim of the current work was to study the effect of UHPH in goat milk at a pressure of 200 MPa on the sensorial characteristic...

In this study, the effects of limited hydrolysis and/or high-pressure homogenization (HPH) treatment in acid conditions on the functional properties of oyster protein isolates (OPI) were studied. Protein solubility, surface hydrophobicity, particle size distribution, zeta potential, foaming, and emulsifying properties were evaluated. The results showed that acid treatment led to the dissociatio...

Poorly water-soluble compounds are difficult to develop as pesticide products and face great challenges in water-based and environmentally friendly formulation development. In this study, high pressure homogenization combined with lyophilization was adopted to prepare the solid nanodispersions of chlorantraniliprole with poor solubility and high melting point. The mean particle sizes of the sol...

Vegetative cells and spores of five strains of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (N-1100, N-1108, N-1096, SAC, and OS-CAJ) were screened for their sensitivity to high pressure homogenization (HPH, 0 to 300 MPa) in Bacillus acidoterrestris thermophilic broth. The most and least resistant strains, SAC and OS-CAJ, respectively, were further tested for their sensitivity to inactivation or growth inh...

As drug delivery systems Nanoparticulate widely investigated because of many advantages such as smaller size, controlled drug release potential, targeting ability, enhancement of therapeutic efficacy and reduction of toxicity. So, Solid Lipid Nanoparticles have recently received considerable attention as alternative drug delivery carrier. In this study Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) containin...

A micro-mechanics damage model is proposed based on homogenization of penny-shaped cohesive micro-cracks (Barenblatt–Dugdale type) in a three dimensional representative volume element. By assuming that macro-hydrostatic stress state has dominant effect on permanent crack opening, a class of pressure sensitive yielding potentials and corresponding damage evolution laws have been derived. The mer...

Homogenization of duplicated genes is an important factor for gene family evolution. In the previous study, we developed a method, named 4-2-4 here, to detect partial homogenization with high sensitivity and high specificity using quartets. A quartet is a set of four genes generated by a duplication event and the subsequent speciation of two closely related species. We searched the human and ma...

one small-scale double emulsion technique for incorporation of naja- naja oxiana venom into poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (plga) microspheres were developed and optimized. the effects of high speed homogenization on the double emulsion stability, microsphere size, entrapment efficiency and in vitro release of venom were studied. a stable double emulsion was verified by homogenization method. slow...
