Background: The implementation of the self-cleaning practice is fundamental importance for maintenance oral health and to remove human dental biofilm which considered main etiological factor development caries periodontal diseases. Objective: This study aimed evaluate use chewing gum, Rolly Brush® apples as forms mechanical control removal in absence brushing. Materials Methods: Eighteen volunt...

Sugar diamino acids (SDAs), which differ from the widely used sugar amino acids in the presence of a second amino group connected to the carbohydrate core, share structural features of both amino acids and carbohydrates. They can be used for the preparation of linear and branched amide-linked oligosaccharide mimetics. Such oligomers carry free amino groups, which are positively charged at neutr...

In a previous study, we isolated Leifsonia sp. strain SIU, a new bacterium from agricultured soil. The bacterium was tested for its ability to degrade caffeine. The isolate was encapsulated in gellan gum and its ability to degrade caffeine was compared with the free cells. The optimal caffeine degradation was attained at a gellan gum concentration of 0.75% (w/v), a bead size of 4 mm diameter, a...

The aim of the present study was to apply design of experiment (DOE) to optimize floating drug delivery of tapentadol hydrochloride. Tapentadol hydrochloride is a synthetic opioid used as a centrally acting analgesic and effective in both experimental and clinical pain. The half-life of the drug is about 4 hours and oral dose is 50 to 250 mg twice a day. For optimization 3(2) full factorial des...

Isolated rat hepatocytes bind to synthetic flat polyacrylamide matrices containing covalently attached galactose residues in a sugar-specific and concentration-dependent manner. Cell binding is mediated by the asialoglycoprotein receptor and occurs as a threshold response at or above a critical concentration of sugar in the matrix. Hepatocytes in the presence or absence of serum were able to sp...

Cherry tomato is a nutritious, but highly perishable fruit. Peach gum polysaccharides (PGPs) can form edible films with antioxidant and antibacterial activities. The effects of PGP-based edible coatings on cherry tomatoes during hypothermic storage (4 °C) were investigated. PGP-based edible coatings effectively maintained firmness, decreased weight loss, inhibited respiration rate and delayed t...

introduction: in recent years, sugar-free or reduced-sugar foods and beverages are becoming very popular among the consumers. at the same time, consumers are increasingly concerned about the quality and safety of many products present in the diet, in particular, low-calorie synthetic or natural sweeteners. sugar adds viscosity and provides body in drinks and semi-liquid foods like syrups and fr...

The article is devoted to the study of influence technological factors on change in structural and mechanical properties protracted aerated candy masses based whey proteins. combined protein hydrocolloid systems formation whipped “soft nougatines” type with increased aggregative stability was determined. It has been established that use gelatin-gum arabic structurant composition improves protei...

BACKGROUND The consumption of beverages that contain sugar is associated with overweight, possibly because liquid sugars do not lead to a sense of satiety, so the consumption of other foods is not reduced. However, data are lacking to show that the replacement of sugar-containing beverages with noncaloric beverages diminishes weight gain. METHODS We conducted an 18-month trial involving 641 p...
