Abstract Edible coating CMCS/PVA/Cur and films were prepared using γ-irradiation to extend the shelf-life of sweet orange "Valencia" fruits. Water-soluble CMCS was synthesized by carboxymethylation chitosan. Extraction curcumin from turmeric powder conversion Cur-NPs 76–108 nm average size achieved. membranes via casting method gamma-irradiation technique. The chemical properties studied FTIR X...

Background and Objectives Continuous exercise with moderate intensity the use of nanocurcumin supplementation has potential to control reduce tumors central nervous system, including glioblastoma. We assessed simultaneous effect moderate-intensity continuous exercises on STAT3 gene expression in mice glioblastoma multiforme brain tumors. Subjects Methods Thirty-five male Wistar rats were random...

objective: curcumin, is the active component in turmeric (curcuma long). this agent induces apoptosis via inhibiting various signaling pathways. however, its poor aqueous solubility prevents its widespread application. in this study, dendrosomes with water-solubility, nano-sized dimensions and nontoxic properties, was used for curcumin delivery to cells. materials & methods: in the present...

In this paper, the effect of chitosan molecular weight on the characteristics (size, encapsulation efficiency, zeta potential, surface morphology and release rate) of vitamin C encapsulated tripolyphosphate cross-linked chitosan (TPP-chitosan) microspheres. The molecular weight of chitosan had a noticeable influence on the size, encapsulation efficiency, zeta potential, surface morphology and c...

Curcumin is the main biologically active phytochemical compound of turmeric that has been widely used by ancient cultures throughout Asia. However the dissolution rate limited absorption and pre-absorption degradation limits its use as a potential therapeutic. In this study an attempt has been made to overcome the above limitations by curcumin delivery through nanotechnology. Nanocurcumin solid...

Objective(s): Various beneficial effects of curcumin have been seen specially as anti-inflammator and antioxidant agent. However, until now no human studies have been done on curcumin’s role in control of appetite. So, the present study was done to determine the effect of nanocurcumin on appetite in obese Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) patients.Materials and Methods: This study was d...

The data shown in this article are related to the subject of an article in Carbohydrate Polymers, entitled "Synthesis and characterization of chitosan alkyl urea" [1]. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of chitosan n-octyl urea, chitosan n-dodecyl urea and chitosan cyclohexyl urea are displayed. The chemical shifts of proton and carbon of glucose skeleton in these chitosan derivatives are designated in...
