Cross-linked esterified starch (CES) was prepared using a one-step method, where maize selected as the raw material, sodium trimetaphosphate cross-linking agent, and acetic anhydride esterifying respectively. A response surface experiment systematically conducted for analyzing correlation of experimental variables (cross-linked temperature, pH, reaction time, dosage) properties product (peak fi...

lidocaine (lc) is a local anesthetic agent. the aim of this study was to prolong the anesthetic effect of this drug in the oral cavity in the treatment of oral mucositis. films of lc were prepared with three different molecular weights (mw) of chitosan in three different concentrations (1-3%) and were then cross-linked by solvent casting evaporation method with tripolyphosphate penta sodium sal...

The aim of this study was to modify the sago starch and evaluate its efficacy as tablet disintegrant. Cross-linked carboxymethylated sago starch (CMSS) was synthesized using native sago starch (SS) and monochloroacetic acid (MCA) with sodium hydroxide in microwave radiation environment. FT-IR analysis of the sample confirmed the carboxymethylation by showing absorption peak at 1607.2 cm. CMSS w...

Plastic used in food packaging causes permanent damage to living things. Therefore, biodegradable has gained importance. In this study, composite plates made from cross-linked wheat starch and cellulose-based fibers were examined for their physical mechanical properties. The properties significantly altered when the obtained examined. According texture analysis, plate with lowest brittleness hi...
