Resistant starches are type of dietary fibers. However, their physiological effects depend on the way they resist digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that new type of RS4 preparations, of in vitro digestibility of about 50%, obtained by cross-linking and acetylation, acts as a prebiotic by increasing short chain fatty acids content ...

Approximately 70% of the cells in a suspension of the amylolytic bacterium Lactobacillus amylovorus bind to cornstarch granules within 30 min at 25 degrees C. More than 60% of the bound bacteria were removed by formaldehyde (2%) or glycine (1 M) at pH 2.0. More than 90% of the bound bacteria were removed by MgCl(2) (2 M; pH 7.0). Binding of L. amylovorus to cornstarch was inhibited in heat-kill...

Two long-grain rice (Oryzae sativa L.) cultivars (Wells and Francis) were harvested from Stuttgart, AR and Essex, MO at high (21.0–22.0%) and low (12.8–16.3%) moisture contents (MCs). Rice samples were soaked in distilled water, sodium phosphate buffer and sodium phosphate buffer with a 0.2% protease (PS) at 37C for 30 min before cooking. A uniaxial compression test was performed to assess cook...

Starches from cassava tubers, sweet potato, and mango seeds were isolated characterized. The starches' proximate, elemental composition, physicochemical physical properties, studied. Cassava tuber yielded 93.45 percent, while Potato Mango seed 88.65 78.45 respectively, in the proximate composition. When compared to at 5.49 potato starch 5.72, which have a highly acidic pH, had neutral pH of 6.9...

Starch, dextrin, sodium silicate (SS), and recently co-silicate (SCS) are the most known depressants for depression of iron oxides through traditional reverse flotation. However, all these depressants’ adsorption mechanisms on surface their main associated minerals (silicate phosphates) anionic flotation did not yet been thoroughly investigated. For filling this gap, as a comparative investigat...

Aim of this research work was to develop mouth dissolving tablet that disintegrates rapidly in mouth by using tasteless complex of Levocetirizine and Tulsion-335. Effect of different parameters such as swelling time, resin activation, drug resin ratio as well as stirring time was optimized by taste and percentage drug loading. Formulated DRC (Drug Resin Complex) was characterized by infrared sp...

Conventional solid dosage form suffers from problem like difficulty in swallowing with age, onset of action and physiological factor of patient like gastric emptying time. To overcome this mouth dissolving tablet is a newer approach to drug delivery. Zolpidem is preferentially used for the short term treatment of insomnia. The aim of present study is to formulate and evaluate mouth dissolving t...

In the present work an attempt has been made to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of lansprozole by formulating it as solid dispersions by lipid carriers such as compritol 888 ATO Phospholipon 90 H and Lipoid S100 by using Fusion method, Kneading method and solvent evaporation method. Further the solid dispersions were compressed as orodispersible tablets by using croscarmelloe sodiu...
