In the interest of getting a functional and non-dairy food product which improves human health, this research was conducted to obtain an edible gel containing probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum A15, bioactive compounds from autochthonous Mexican fruit known as chicozapote (Manilkara zapota). Probiotic pulp were encapsulated separately by means spray-drying process later incorporated into matrix....

abstract: yoghurt is a popular healthy food, consumed by many people. the popularity of this product made it possible to use it as a base in order to produce probiotic preparations. prebiotics are used for better growth and survival of probiotic bacteria as well as to improve organoleptic, rheological and technological properties of probiotic yoghurt. the aim of this research was to study physi...

Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine (AZG) is a popular antiperspirant/deodorant agent, formulated in various forms including the clear gels. Silicones are used for the preparation of these gels, giving them desirable characteristics. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of various silicones, when used in combination, on the rheological properties of the resulting AZG...

A specific probiotic formulation composed of Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285, Lactobacillus casei LBC80R, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus CLR2 (Bio-K+) has been marketed in North America since 1996. The strains and the commercial products have been evaluated for safety, identity, gastrointestinal survival, and stability throughout shelf life. The capacity of both the fermented beverages and the ca...

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the efficacy of Na-alginate edible films as vehicles for delivering probiotic bacteria to sliced ham with or without pretreatment using high pressure processing (HPP). Three strains of probiotic bacteria were incorporated in Na-alginate forming solution. Ham slices (with or without pretreatment using HPP at 500 MPa for 2 min) were packed under vacuum ...

Lactic acid bacteria are among the most important probiotic microorganisms typically associated with the human gastrointestinal tract. Traditionally, lactic acid bacteria have been classified on the basis of phenotypic properties, eg, morphology, mode of glucose fermentation, growth at different temperatures, lactic acid configuration, and fermentation of various carbohydrates. Studies based on...

The present study aimed to investigate the delivery potential of Etodolac (ETD) containing topical niosomal gel. Niosomal formulations were prepared by thin film hydration method at various ratios of cholesterol and Span 60 and were evaluated with respect to particle size, shape, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro characteristics. Dicetyl phosphate (DCP) was also added in the niosomal formulat...
