Thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. To increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC) were used as the matrix polymer here. Mixtures of thymol with eight ...

In the present study, several combinations of different grades of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) such as HPMC-K4M, HPMC-K15M, HPMC-K100M as hydrophilic polymers and hydrophobic polymer like ethyl cellulose(EC) are used to prepare the matrix tablets that resulted in desired and controlled drug release profile. Hydrophobic polymers provide several advantages including good stability at va...

thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. to increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (hpmc) and ethyl cellulose (ec) were used as the matrix polymer here. mixtures of thymol with eight ...

To develop biodegradable packaging that both acts as a moisture barrier and as antimicrobial activity, nisin and stearic acid were incorporated into a hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) based film. Fifteen percent (w/w HPMC) of stearic acid improved film moisture barrier. However, film mechanical resistance and film antimicrobial activity on Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus ...

Bi-layered [1] tablet refers to tablet which contain subunits. In bi-layer [2] tablets, one layer tablet provides immediate release and the other layer acts as sustained release. Sumatriptan is a new class of anti-migraine [3] drugs that selectively activate 5-HT1B/1D receptors and are called triptans. Our objective is to formulate and evaluate the bi-layer tablets of sumatriptan succinate of d...

Edible films and coatings in foods can be used to increase shelf-life and improve organoleptic characteristics of foods by avoiding deterioration of food components and therefore promoting preservation of the final product. This study is the first to investigate the use of different size fillers for the purpose of preparing edible composite films with fillers < 1.0 microm in size. For this purp...

In the present study sustained release matrix tablets of Theophylline were prepared by direct compression method using different grades and ratios of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose in presence of ethyl cellulose to examine their influence on tablet properties and drug release profile. Theophylline is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. The drug has a narrow t...

Pepaya tergolong buah klimaterik dimana pemanfaatan dan umur simpannya terbatas. dapat dikembangkan menjadi papaya bubuk. Pada pembuatan bubuk pepaya perlu ditambahkan enkapsulan untuk mempercepat proses pengeringan melindungi komponen aktif. Enkapsulan yang digunakan adalah gum arab HPMC. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi terhadap sifat fisikokimia melalui pengujian kada...
