Mucilage of Plantago ovata husk has various characteristics like binding, gelling, granulating, film former, disintegrating, suspending, and sustaining properties and could be utilized for the preparation of pharmaceutical dosage forms like tablets, suspensions, gel and for sustained drug release systems. The present paper deals with the spectrophotometric estimation of total polysaccharide con...

The paper presents the influence of selected technological parameters on the properties of silica films produced in sol-gel processes using the dip-coating method. The influence of water content and catalyst content was investigated as well as the influence of aging time of sols. It was demonstrated that the conditions of film deposition and the content of catalyst have a great influence on the...

Groundnut is the major oilseed in India. Groundnut has a high amount of protein (26%), and it is a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and boron. After extracting oil, the cake was only used as cattle feed or livestock, hence in the present study protein was isolated by different fractions of defatted groundnut oil cake because of its higher protein content. Sodium dodecyl sulphate p...

Topical curcumin shows poor local availability because of its low aqueous solubility and inadequate tissue absorption. Curcumin nanocrystals were prepared by sonoprecipitation followed lyophilization to improve surface area solubility. The formulation was optimized the Design Experiment (DoE) approach. characterized for particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, scanning electron micr...

The present study deals with the formulation, characterization of Metronidazole loaded ethosomal gel for treating oral infection. system comprises 2-5% phospholipids, 20-50% ethanol, 10% propylene glycol, cholesterol and v/v aqueous phase. Cold method was applied to develop ethosome. prepared ethosome evaluated vesicle size, entrapment efficiency,The Optimized Ethosome formulation converted in ...

Abstract Alum sludge is a typical by-product of the water industry. The traditional management method, disposing in landfill sites, poses critical environmental and economic concern due to significant increase amount disposal cost. In this paper, feasibility reusing as cement replacement investigated, physical performance microstructure modification concrete products made with discussed. obtain...

A simple and effective method to purify a phosphoprotein (B2) (Mr 68,000, pI 6.2-8) from phenol-soluble non-histone chromatin proteins of rat liver is described. The purification involved only two steps, CM-cellulose chromatography and preparative SDS/polyacrylamide (10%)-gel electrophoresis. The purified phosphoprotein B2 was shown to be homogeneous by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. T...

Many cell biologists wish to know the subcellular localization of proteins of interest. Proteomics methods have the potential to describe the entire protein content of organelles. However, practical limitations in organelle isolation and analysis of low abundance proteins have meant that organelle proteomics has had, until recently, only limited success. Some examples of quantitative proteomic ...

A column chromatographic procedure utilizing Silica Gel C is described for separating lipid components of serum and lipoproteins into individual fractions containing hydrocarbons (I), cholesterol esters (II), triglycerides (111), cholesterol (IV) , free fatty acids (V) , and phospholipids (VI). Silica Gel G required no pretreatment except adjustment of moisture content to 10%. The method afford...
