Mango processing produces significant amount of waste (peels and kernels) that can be utilized for the production of value-added ingredients for various food applications. Mango peel and kernel were dried using different techniques, such as freeze drying, hot air, vacuum and infrared. Freeze dried mango waste had higher antioxidant properties than those from other techniques. The ORAC values of...

Background: Candlenut is one of the vegetable oil-producing plants as a source biodiesel raw materials. One innovations to increase production and quality candlenut oil by treating kernels before roasting. Kernel condition (whole or fine powder) roasting temperature affects production. This study aims determine kernel at various temperatures on production, yield oil. Methods: Using one-factor c...

This study examines the controlled release behavior of both water-soluble (acetaminophen, caffeine, theophylline and salicylic acid) and water insoluble (indomethacin) drugs derived from Caesalpinia pulcherrima seed Gum isolated from Caesalpinia pulcherrima kernel powder. It further investigates the effect of incorporating diluents such as microcrystalline cellulose and lactose on caffeine rele...

The study was aimed isolate tamarind seed polysaccharide from tamarind kernel powder, crosslinking of isolated polysaccharide with epichlorohydrin and to assess the release behaviour of drugs, diclofenac sodium and ketoprofen from isolated tamarind seed polysaccharide and cross linked tamarind seed polysaccharide as release retardant. The presence of polysaccharide was confirmed by phytochemica...

The present research was aimed at formulating a metformin HCl sustained-release formulation from a combination of polymers, using the wet granulation technique. A total of 16 formulations (F1-F16) were produced using different combinations of the gel-forming polymers: tamarind kernel powder, salep (palmate tubers of Orchis morio), and xanthan. Post-compression studies showed that there were no ...
